L.—Haven’t had a Mine on Doe (Garlic) Mansfield for a ‘“‘coon’s age’’. He's possibly meandering over about St. Louis or Memphis. The oldtimer, Doe Burke, sent Bill a beautiful pictorial folder of Ashokan Reservoir, in the Catskill Mountains, New York State. Doc Williams {is among ‘“‘those present’ in Tennessee. Don’t know exactly what Doc is working on at present, but it’s a two-to-one shot he’s not shirking work by any means. C. M. Williams, for a number of years an advertising head with The Billboard, is now doing special publicity work with the Seyler Medicine Co., of Cincinnati, Should you spell the name of Dr. Nema (Go Wango) backward, you will have the conclusion of all good pitchmen’s prayers for cleaning out of all the rifraf.

Marquis was highly complimented for his clever impersonation of the departed President Lincoln during a window ‘“‘statue”’ demonstration, When traveling thru the country one should not be too quick at taking exception to remarks, as quite often these are not sarcasm, but meant as humor on the part of the ones making them, Some one said recently that Jim Kelley, the “specialty king’’, was thinking of taking a little vacation for himself and making a trip from New York to cities of the Central States, including Cincy. No tidings, as yet, of having started, Eddie Oliver, top and other specialties worker, postcarded from New York September 14: “Here this week, taking in the ‘Mardi Gras’ at Coney Island and looking things over.’ sddie’s headquartering hibernation is Dayton, O. —<didn’t know that he had migrated eastward.
