We went to the Cut &
Shoot Post Office to get our mail yesterday, as we always do, but yesterday we
stopped at The Cut and Shoot Tourist Trap.
I told you about that place back a few weeks ago. They always have new and
different things in there. Although a
lot of the same stuff was there, they are always hunting new stuff to stock
their two large buildings. I found this
box lying on the counter.
Of course I ignored it but
then my curiosity got the best of me and I went back and opened it up. Wow, never expected what I saw. I have been told that my curiosity would get
me in trouble some time, so it was a tense moment and I opened it very, very
slowly. And there IT was!!!!
This product was made quite a
few years ago and it had a copy write date of 1950 by H. FISHLOVE & CO. of
Chicago. It even was registered at the
U.S. Pat. Office. The back of the box
had an address form and a place for a stamp so that you could mail it. It also had a note at the bottom saying “Postmaster: May be opened for postal inspection.” Now that may be an unique way of advertising a
product, let the postal workers look at it and I bet news of this product
spread fast throughout the postal service and their families and friends.
Oh yes, I suppose you want me
to show you the contents of the box. Now
you know I had to keep you waiting, isn’t the suspense killing you? Or did you skip ahead and take a peek and
forget about reading all the great words I have written since the first
picture? OK, here it is:

Hope you got a chuckle out of

hear?

ReplyDeleteSixbears, I thought it was. They had a great sense of humor back when I was growing up.
Gypsy, Not quite priceless, but the laughs I got were.
Trouble, I noticed that, too. Where is the other half?
BB, yes I bought it. I thought that I would send it to my last surviving aunt who is in a nursing home. I did want to share it with you all first.
