IPP!
MY OBSERVATION OF CHICAGO.
Plenty to eat—lots of fun
Plenty to see—lots to shun
Dangerous to walk without your gun
Crossing the streets you have to run.
Lots of folks who call you bum
Such is Chicago from sun to sun.

J. L. COLLINS,
Greensville, Tex.
J. L. Collins, who penned the above rhyme, is one
of the most extensive piano dealers in the Lone Star
State. He handles the M, Schulz line, among other
makes. The only criticism Presto-Times wishes to
make on his rhyme is that it is not dangerous to
walk without a gun in Chicago. Hollywood would
have us believe that it is dangerous to walk in Texas
without two guns, but to applaud that sort of non-
sense shows as much childishness as applauding the
talkies, which at their best have to travel a long
way before they even become pleasing sounds.
