A photo from an advertisement for Dressler the Plumber, Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
JUST WHY I AM A PLUMBER
By Russell Harrison Dressler
Emergency Plumber
I cannot preach a sermon,
It’s not my dish you know,
Or f I’d operate on you
Then you’d be sure to go.
Try to fix your auto I am sure would only be a guess,
Or fry your eggs or cook your hash would be an awful mess.
I think if I would try real hard, I might could trim a hat,
But fixing your radio – oh, murder, no, not that.
Now if your plumbing’s out of plumb,
Your comfort’s in the rough,
So call “Hap” Dressler, he’s the guy,
By George, he knows his stuff.
