The Paper Town Hall from Cut-Out Town

Directions for the Town Hall. Cut around the outlines. Fold on dotted lines,
tuck tabs inside and where shown paste together as drawn in the above "model" sketch.

       Well, just when I thought that I had found all of these little village templates, out crops another one! Searching newspapers is a tedious process, even for an archivist! But here is the Town Hall; better late than never. I think it is the last of the series? I've cleaned it up, folks. Don't forget to enlarge it as much as possible before printing it out.

The District School of Cut-Out Town

      Cut-out on heavy black line, fold on all dotted lines, then paste parts marked XX to parts marked X and you will have a little school with bell tower and brick chimney.

On the way to Cut-Out Corners, 

Where the road of Glueville winds,

Stands the little district schoolhouse,

Painted white, with neat green blinds.

Every day the paper children,

With their books and dinner pail,

Trot along the paper highway-

Sun or rain, they never fail!

And Miss Paperdoll, schoolmistress,

Hears them say their grammar rule

With arithmetic and spelling-

Then they're almost through with school

Now, however, it is recess-

In the playground they all run-

All excepting Dick and Flossie

On the doorstep in the sun.

Let us cut the school out, youngster,

Bring the paste-and now let's see

What a charming little schoolhouse

Cut-Out Corners school will be.

Little Factory from Cut-Out Town

      Cut out on all heavy black lines, fold on all dotted lines and past X to XX. Roll and paste the smokestacks.

In the little town of Cut-Out

Is a factory of toys,

Where the make all kinds of cut-outs

For newspaper girls and boys.

Messrs, Paper, Glue & Scissors

Drive a very thriving trade,

And the paper toys they make there

Are the nicest that are made.

Here within this tall, plain building

With its smokestacks round and high

You hear the snip of scissors

While the busy moments fly.

And at sundown when the sunshine

Gilds the window glass so bright

You can see the Cut-Out workmen

Going home to spend the night.

Let's pretend that you're a workman

In the factory's employ,

Messrs Paper, Glue & Scissors

Bid you make this cut-out toy.

Cut-Out Company are grocers,

And they own this little store,

Where they sell at cut down-prices

Cut-Out groceries galore-

Paper breakfast foods and sugar,

Paper crackers, paper jam,

Paper vegetables and spices

And all brands of paper ham.

Paper Lolly Pops in cases

On the paper counters stand,

And the little paper children

Keep them always in demand.

When they go on mother's errands--

And they have two cents to spend--

With their precious paper pennies

To the store their way they wend.

Here are scissors, here the picture,

Cut it out and let us see

When you fold it and you paste it

What the Cut-Out store will be!
