Then we eat Kansas City bacon, Virginia ham, or possible Tennessee smoked sausage, all fried on a St. Louis stove and in an Indiana skillet. As we leave we put on a hat made in Philadelphia, climb into a Detroit automobile and stop at a Standard Oil Company of New Jersey filling station to have it filled with Texas.

Finally we crawl into bed under a North Carolina blanket, for some much needed sleep, only to be kept awake for theTest of the night by the baying of a Virginia hound dog—the only home product on the place.
