ELL — Here we are! 
 "Me and the Dog." 
 This is the latest book 
 from the Anderson Print 
 Shop. Hope you will like 
 it — that it will add one 
 more smile to your day — and incidentally give 
 you an inkling of the classy work we do here. 
 If you want additional copies for your 
 friends or your enemies, the price will be four 
 bits. We think it is worth that much — don't 
 you? Besides, we need the fifty cents to "buy 
 the poor dog a bone." 
 
 Prudy's wrinkles are not all in his face, you 
 know. There are a lot in his bread basket, 
 and he can live up to his reputation lots easier 
 if they are smoothed out by an occasional 
 offering. A full stomach is first aid to con- 
 stancy even in a dog. 
 
 A few wrinkle eliminator orders will be 
 appreciated. 
 
 Will you kindly let me know what you think 
 of this book. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 JO ANDERSON, 
 
 416 J Street, Sacramento, California.
