The New York Clipper (January 1914)

THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. Januaby 31 .f* I AH IT! I am heard around the world. The rich, the poor* and the great middle class all applaud me. I am the incubator of Goodfellowship. I am the Breath of the Great White Way—the light and laughter of every cate. I am the pet of the Regiment. Next to the Flag I am the most Loved. I am a blessing to the laborer, to the mechanic, to the bookkeeper, merchant, banker and broker, their sisters, sweethearts and wives. I comfort and soothe them all. I am contagious. I am cheerful to the lonesome. I am the light and light to the heartsick. I am the foundation of pleasure. The life of the party. I am the success of vaudeville, I am the "applause" and "money" to the performer. The inspiration of the theatre. All over and everywhere I am greeted with enthusiasm. I have been tried and tested. I am 22 karat fine. I am modest, for although this is my first announcement, I am already a hit. My name is: "II 01 IT WAT TO IAIDAUT." I am the sister of "Peg o' My Heart." Created by the same authors Al. Bryan and Fred Fischer. I am published by "FEISTV" My address is, 135 W. 44th St., New York. I am yours for the asking! I AH IT! World of Flayers.
