the poetic strain of our picture show man,
Mr. E. A. Armistead:
Chero-Cola is the drink,
In a bottle through a straw
Good for wife and mother-in-law
Good for all the children too,
It is also good for you,
And you need have no alarm
It was never known to harm;
If you drink it as you should,
You’ll admit “There’s none so good.’
