Yep! Shades of my youth. Hayes Bros. Buick, In Salt Lake City, had just
such an item posted on the wall at the parts counter. It must have really
made an impact on me, for I remember (and often quote) it to this day.
Mind you, I'm one of the people that remembers almost nothing
trivial-------including the way to get back home. g


I've still got the old plaque with that saying which was hung on the
wall of office at the slaughter plant where I grew up (my dad bought
the local slaughter plant when I was 5 years old).
