FULL OF PEP; GOES OVER WITH A BAM
" ' Bell Boy 13 ' is sure to make you giggle. If you don't laugh at this you must be enveloped in a cemeterialic atmosphere that no merriment can pierce. I laughed and so did everyone else from start to finish. We chuckled. We haw-hawed. We snickered. We grinned. You'll find it funny. It is full of pep. The personality plus of

FULL OF LAUGHS; WORTH WHILE
