Hshld Pests & Fences

The last half of the book is the socalled "yellow ribbon section." The quotations here are of a calibre far above the average. They often include a vast amount of information in a short space. A college thesis could be written from some of the entries here. One is:

"Wtr bugs, buffalo bugs, bed bugs,

bats, ants, fleas, lice, mice, mites,

termites bats, roaches, moths, silver-

fish, carpet beetles, & all hshld pests

in homes, apts, hotels, restrnts, & yechts

EXTERMINATED

Rsnble prices."

Another, showing a rhythmical temperament, is:

"Wickwire-Spencer chn Ink & wire fencer

rust-resistg fences

for lawns, estates, athltc flds, tennis ets, schools, plgrnds, prks, cmtrs, hsptls, instttns, & evrthg Is"
