Tales of the Tin Man

Big Tin Man and his buddy,
Little Tin Man (Richard M. Richardson).

Once upon a time there was a very large, very lonely Tin Man. He had been fired from the production of “Wizard of Oz” because he was too big and kept accidentally stepping on Dorothy and the Lion. Dorothy was forgiving, though a little sore, but the Lion got really mad everytime he got stepped on. “I just wish you weren’t made out of tin so I could sink my teeth into you!” said the lion.

So sadly the Tin Man left Hollywood and wandered across the country. People were afraid of him and boys through rocks, denting him in several places. “Oh woe, won’t I ever find a good home where I can be appreciated for the wonderful tin man I am?” He would have cried but he was afraid of getting rusty.

And you can find him there today, watching over the shop. Even if you can’t find Little Tin Man, Big Tin Man is always there.
