I want a man to work on my farm. I don’t give dancing lessons. I have no piano. I can’t serve plank steak three times a day. I do give three square meals, a real bed, fair wages. If any man who knows a cow from a talking machine, can hear an alarm clock, and get up at 5 a.m. wants the job, I will agree not to treat him like one of the family, but a darn sight better.
Apply at the Steve Wiggins Place, Interval Road.
