Look what we just unearthed, SO FUN!  Absolutely love these illustrations so we thought we would share the brochure with you.... ...maybe you own one of these and have no idea what to do with it...now you can wear it!

We've all had those days....dreading going home to maybe a tough conversation or burned dinner....but, usually, most of us can't wait to get home.  Not poor Augustus J. McCann. He hates his life, he hates his wife, and, probably, the creepy, giant mouthed baby sitting on his lap.

Great idea! What followed was a quite hilarious look at one Mr. McCann's poor, henpecked life. DON'T TAKE ME HOME A comic novelty song by Vincent Bryan & Harry Von Tilzer Augustus J. McCann , Is a hen pecked married man, He's been a fighting with his wife since his married life began. On
