Heard On The Rural Phone
“ Hello! Is that you Florence?”
“ Yes. is that you Mary?”
“ Say Florence, I got two big boilers full o f blackberries on the stove now and wanted to find
out what kind o f fruit jars those were that you have with the big mouths?”
“ Why, those are those wide-mouthed Ball Mason Jars, that I bought o f Givens.
I forget
just what I paid for ’em, but they were cheap priced and I’ m going down now, soon as
Bill gets harnessed up, and buy some more.
I ’ ll get you some if you want me to.
You know we buy everything at Givens and I got on hand now over $61. worth of those
2% cash discount tickets.
You say you want me to get you a couple dozen?
Oh,
that’s alright about the cash. I’ ll pay it and get you the discount tickets.”
“ Say, M ary-speaking o f Givens, did you hear that he tried to knock a Southern Pacific
train off the track in Portland the other day with his automobile.
He had quite a
smash-up, but nobody got hurt.
He’s a Holy Terror with that machine o f his and ’ ll
get killed one o f these days yet.”
“ By the way Florence, are you and Bill going to the Garfield Grange Hall lecture Friday
night?
W e’ re going and they say it will be a dandy and the lecturer is awful good
looking.
Oh gee! I got to ring off, my berries is boiling over, but you be sure and
bring me up those Mason Fruit Jars from Givens and you better bring along a sack of
that Dements Flour, 50 pounds of sugar, two-bits o f yeast never mind any more, I’ ll
get the rest when I go to Estacada—dont forget my % discount tickets.
Good bye.”
