" While passing a house on the road, two Virginia salesmen spotted a "very peculiar chimney, unfinished, and it attracting their attention, they asked a flaxen-haired urchin standing near the house if it 'drawed well' whereupon the aforementioned urchin gave them the stinging retort: 'Yes, it draws all the attention of all the d* fools that pass this road.' "

rewrite:
In the state of Virginia, two travelling salemen noticed a house with an unfinished chimney. It's like builders ran out of bricks and said fuck it. This sight was shitty even for Virginia. Anyhow, the salesmen asked a grubby blonde girl standing near the house if the chimney was able to draw. She replied, sure, it draws the attention of every dipshit fuck that passes by. It turned out, the place was a whorehouse.

I am unfamiliar with this term because nobody uses hearths and chimneys any more.

OK I tightened the rhythm a bit:
A salesman comes upon a house with an unfinished chimney.
"Does that thing work?" he asked a girl standing out front.

Two salesmen are walking by a house in virginia when they spot a car in a garden that looks to have been stripped of many parts. They ask a grubby urchin child nearby, say does this car run. To which she responds, it doesn't have legs.
