For That Prince
of Good Fellows
YOUR DAD
That Dad of yours! Is be someone taken for granted
. , , whom you see at meal times—or during an infre
quent sisit back borne? Do you often feel a slight irri
tation because his clothes don't look like those shown
in Esquire? Or wonder why the lines are deepening so
rapidly about his mouth and eyes? How little do so
many of us know of the worries and cares that make up
Dads week days. The coal bill must be paid , , , the
monthly groceries and rent , . . taxes and insurance,
doctor and dentist and—perhaps YOU! How little it takes some
times to lighten this burden’ A cheery -word, a flashing smile, a
slop on the hack man fashion. What a glow it brings to know that somebody
cares! And a personal gift be it ever so small often touches him with a
feeling almost poignant for Dads are people. Remember then this Prince of Good
Fellous—Your Dad—on Father’s Day!
