Of course, some of our more thrifty Girls have followed the example of
their Male Tax Dodging friends and Incorporated (as the rate is lower
on Corporations). Wall Street attended to that little matter when they
were drawing the Tax Bill up in Washington.
These Girls had to do that, the same as men, to protect their Salaries.
Of course, the big Gamble in buying into these Individual Corporations
is the Lucky chance that she might make one or more wealthy marriages
during the year. When of course, her being Incorporated, all she gets
comes under the heading of Income, and you, as a Stockholder, get your
Pro Rata Share. If she lands a big one you have struck Oil. Then, on
the other hand, she may marry for love. In that case you have brought
in a Duster.
For example, down on the Exchange you will find the Anastasia Reed,
incorporated, along with General Motors and Blue Jay Corn Plasters. At
the end of the year, the Stockholders, after adding up the Salary along
with the accumulated Alimony, can either declare a dividend, or vote a
Dinner and put the Undivided profits back into the growing Concern.
Now, I can’t tell you the name but I was lucky enough to land 5 shares
just before a Blonde Corporation married a Multi-Millionaire who was
over 70 years of age. Us Stockholders have figured out at our last
meeting that if he dies when we think he will (and we have no reason to
believe otherwise, unless the Poison acts as a Monkey Gland) why, just
those 5 shares will make me independent for life.
I don’t want to use this space as an ad, but I have been able for a
small monetary fee to tip off my friends just what stock to buy. You
see I am in a position to judge as I watch who is in the front row
every night and I can just tell when Mendelssohn’s Spring Song will
start percolating for some particular Corporation. Now, at the present
time, there is every night in the front row a Millionaire Oklahoma Oil
Magnate and a Bootlegger, both angling for the same Corporation. If
this Bootlegging person lands her, why her Stockholders are made for
life, but if the Oil Magnate comes through (for sometimes these female
Corporations are swayed by sentiment), why the stock won’t be worth
within a thousand Percent of what it will be if the Bootheel Party
lands.
Now, take me personally; this Income Tax thing don’t bother me at all.
You are allowed 200 dollars for each Child, and my Children and my
Income are just coming out even now.

Yes We Have no Bananas the greatest or the worst Song that America ever
had?”
