ONE OF THE SMITH BOYS

By the word of the Biblical historian, who set down this ancient myth, Adam and Eve and their offspring went by the name of Smith. So it remained until one day men spoke in dissatisfied tones and some of the Smiths revolted and changed their name to Jones. This new clan kept its peace until the disgruntled began to frown and, irked by their bickering brethren, changed their name to Brown. The family tree kept sprouting limbs until today there are millions of names. Greens and Grays and Goldbergs, too, Johnsons and Jacksons and James. Still, many a family history dates back to the year of the myth and the day their greastest great grandfather signed his name JOHN HANCOCK SMITH!
