A stands fer album, blue plush an' bright clasp,
Showin' a photo o' Aunt Jen with bangs an' tight basque.
It seems like th' more smilin' an' cheerful folks are th' more ther teeth need lookin' after.
We've certainly improved in side steppin' since th' ole three-wheel velocipede wuz regarded as a menace t' pedestrians.
Constable Newt Plum's son-in-law, up t' Indynoplus, has three sons, two self-sustainin' an' one employed by th' city.
Ther hain't nothin' as uncommon as common sense.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a nostalgic glimpse into American life in the early 20th century, capturing the vernacular and values of a rapidly changing society. Through humorous anecdotes and witty observations, the author paints a portrait of a nation grappling with the rise of automobiles, the decline of traditional values, and the burgeoning influence of popular culture. The reader is transported to a world of cornet bands, horse-drawn carriages, and the allure of the "Ready Letter Writer," a guide to courtship and social etiquette. From the importance of a well-shaped nose to the perils of over-eating, the author delves into the concerns and preoccupations of a bygone era. Through these reflections, the book offers a fascinating commentary on the anxieties and aspirations of a society undergoing a period of significant transformation. The book is a testament to the enduring power of language to capture the essence of a time and place, and its insights into the social and cultural landscape of early 20th-century America continue to resonate with readers today.
