TEXT AND PICTURES BY OLIVER HERFORD
THE FILCANTHROPIC COW
Said a cow, “It has long been my dream,
A sort of utopian scheme,
To leave, when I die,
Enough milk to supply
A home for poor kittens—with cream.”
TACT
Quoth a cat to me once: “Pray relieve
My suspense. What does eight from nine leave?”
Poor puss looked so cold
And so thin and so old,
I replied, “Quite a few, I believe.”

PINEAPPLE
THIS delicious tropical fruit is grown, sliced and packed by Libby, Mc̣Neill & Libby on their Hawaiian Plantations, the home of the world’s best pineapple.
Libby’s is the kind of Pineapple that has the sun-ripened natural flavor, and is good for everybody.
The sanitary can is full of tender, generous slices with a syrup of pure granulated sugar and luscious pineapple juice.
