He left a real, live, little
beauty.
It is full of "pep" and
personality.
It is more than "a chip
off the old block."
Although it shows a
marked family resem
blance, it has a different
type of texture and a
finer physical frame.
It has a full high fore
head, a long rangy body
and a running gear that
is bound to set sl new
world's record in the
cross country class.
You can see it without
charge or take it home
