THE MANAGEMENT & EMPLOYEES OF SEROS
WISH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS
A VERY HEALTHY & HAPPY CHANUKAH
new girlfriend," his daughter
Jackie Makrouer . . . Dorothy
Simon lining up folks for the
photographer taking stills
and then searching to see
what else she could do to help
. . . Fred Sweet next year
celebrating 50 years of
showbiz working and manag-
ing theaters, busy taking can-
dids of people . . . Keith Famie
making sure people tasted his
food from Les Auteurs by tak-
ing plates to some folks .. .
Smattering of laughter dur-
ing the live auction as Denny
McLain "jokingly" bid $10 to
be in the radio booth with
Dick Purtan.
Variety-The Children's
Charity has helped handicap-
ped and underprivileged
children in Michigan since
1932 . . . In return, I wonder
if these youngsters realize
how much they assist the
Variety volunteers who seem
to stand so tall helping kids
who need us so much?
"SILLY STANDARDIZ-
ED country, America,"
grumbled a distinguished
English advertising man as
he completed a U.S. lecture
tour, his pockets bulging with
silly standardized American
dollars . . . "Your cities look so
much alike, I had to consult
my itinerary to see whether I
was in Milwaukee, Sioux Ci-
ty or Spokane. Same hotels,
same stores, same signs?'
Same signs, my eyes . . .
This land of ours is filled with
individualistic merchants
who would rather be caught
dead than hang a conven-
tional sign outside their place
of business . . . They'll stew
for weeks thinking of a new
twist . . . and one in a hun-
dred is worth the effort.
For instance, outside a
Phoenix auto repair shop
reported by Percy Swartz,
"May we have the next
dents?" and "Second-hand
cars in first-crash condition"
. . . Bob Buck tells of the
Dallas dealer with a more
subtle approach, "Be a
wealthy pedestrian. Sell us
your car." . . . The shop next
door, says Bob, displays
clothes for debutantes, featur-
ing "Convertible sun dresses.
Very sporty with the tops
down" . .. Chuck Muer sends
his favorites offered by a dry-
goods emporium in Allen-
town, Pa., "Bath towels for
the whole damp family" and
the one by a chicken in-
cubator in Vermont,
"Cheepers by the dozen" .. .
Larry Osterman tells of a fur-
rier in Kalamazoo who begs,
"Be our miss in lynx" and an
alert fortune teller in Asbury
Park promises, "Your problem
solved, or your mania cheer-
fully refunded."
Owners of restaurants and
.
grogshops are in the forefront
when the whims blow . . .
Norm LePage tells of a tavern
keeper in Lexington who ad-
vises, "If you drive your hus-
band to drink, drive him
here" . . . and a sign on the
wall of a diner along Route
101 reads, "What foods these
morsels be!" . . . Les Ball
remembers when a Broadway
delicatessen advertised, "To-
day only! Homemade im-
ported caviar" . . . Another
sign inside the store warned,
"If you don't smell it, we ain't
got it!"
A LOSER drifted into a
bar and talked the owner in-
to a handout . . . He whined
that his wife was sick, his
daughter didn't have a dress
to graduate in, he himself was
suffering from athritis and
rheumatism and the whole
family was facing eviction
from their apartment . . . All
the time he talked, the gent
fiddled with a five dollar gold
piece in his hand .. "Why
don't you buy something with
that five you already have?"
asked the proprietor . . . Not
on your life," the loser said
angrily. "That's my good luck
piece!"
DISA "N DATA . . . There's
a first now on both sides of the
Jill and Shevy Goldstein
families . . . Daughter Lisa
Goldstein follows in no one's
footsteps in becoming the
family's first attorney by
recently passing the
Michigan State Bar . . . "This
way to Darbys" was sign Iry
Belinsky recalls he put up
because of so many taking a
shortcut from the parking lot
through his Wrigley Drugs on
Seven Mile and Wyoming .. .
After first evening services,
Nita Silberschein told those
at shiva that it was Joe's wish
that all would drink a shot of
Southern Comfort . . . Even
those who didn't drink took a
sip in a toast to Joe
Silberschein who recently
passed on . . . "I'm not quit-
ting!" says Don Vargo, whose
1940 Chop House on E. Jef-
ferson remains open . . . He
doesn't consider Chapter 11
filings as close-the-doors
bankruptcy . . . just a chance
to reorganize. 111
