Christmas Compliments from the Garbage Man, 1917

Christmas Compliments from the Garbage Man, 1917
In days of yore, the paper boy, message delivery boy, milkman, coal man, and even the garbage man might give you their holiday greetings!

Compliments from the Garbage Man

Christmas comes and Christmas goes,
With summer rains and winter snows.
The garbage man who always goes,
Fighting mankind's every foe.
He's poor and humble and knows no wealth,
But is ever guarding the public health.
He works in cheer and knows no fear,
Of the deadly germ that is always near.
So don't forget him when Christmas comes,
To help him make his loved ones dear,
With just a little Christmas cheer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 1917-1918.
