The weekly Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1861, 1855-11-03
Please Read the following.

Kind readers, attention, forget once your cares,
Well sing you song Of the mercantile wares;
The subjects not new, butt interests ALL
From the old to the young from the great to tho small
The farmer. the printer, the carpenter too,
Aud all of that class who have plenty to do;
The lawyers, ofceurse, though fen in this place,
Still they have an iitre6tas we'll as n case;
,Andevery young man who conSults well his purse,
And young ladytoo, give heed to this verse.
Number rs the place where bargains are sold,
Where conscienee's respected and truth ever told,
Where all may trade safely, a fair profit reap,
Where all that have cashcnn buy goods that are cheap
Where all whohave produce can trade as with cash,
And carry home good goods instead of poor trash.
Our stock is complete in eSery respect, /,
Aud everything kept III way that's ccrrecti
We have coffee and tea, ahl who dare deny it,
That's the best in our toy wn, please come and try IL;
And sugar that's sweet, as every one knows, s
For tho very best pronf's the way it all goes.
We have cinnamon, ,cloves, ground pepper and rice,
Cocoa and choculate. bnTht coffee, ard spice,
Nutmegs, saleratus, good candles, and rope,
Tobacco, molusses Nhale oil, and soap.
In fac. everything in the grocery llneg
From sugar and syrupst 10 good wripping twine.
But VIC boast ofour queens ware, rgh,fally too,
II ttkes in all colors from white to pale bluei 25
Now ladies remember the place 20 buy ware
Is at old numbar 7--It's alwilF tehnd there. 5.'
We have carpets andIfngs, both cotton and wool,
And our stock in tlialllneis always kept full.
We have dress goods trimmings and edgngs to sell,
And knick-nacks aud ndtl6ps too tedious To tell. lt
But Indies. OH! ladies', there's nothing so nice
AS q nice little 4 liter, with n nice little price;
Tliey don'tplnch the toes nor the pockets all,
Ill Slllt all times eitheT cNurcn OF OullS
So tarry not long, eorne and get the first pick,
For the best will all sell most terrible quick.
They ha rdy need praise, but I'llmcnton collars
That cost from stxpcnce NJ TO five dollars:
They are done mp in style, most perfect in shape,
Some are bound with SILK iaee, aud some bound VIII
tape, .-e,s- &. e. ,.s,H ..tA-
But they are not all that calls your attention q
or talmas aud shawis We still have to mentions;
The yaters arc Frene aud OF course they are right
They u keep you so warm OF cold winters night.
Ouf stock of merinos and coburgsis full,
We'll warrant them all be cotton or wool;
SO come here and buy, do not purchase elsewhere
Your hosiery. diapers, table-sprcads fair, - .-a
Your spreads, your tckSgs, your comforts to wea
Round your meek in cold weather; but we will decar
Before we proceed with this onr rude sonnet,
You never did sec such love of bonnet
As we can present to your wondering eyes; IN
Some are prown, some tan, some blue as the skies,
Some pink, some purple, some various dyes;
They will suit eyory age, they fit every size:
Now please to rememberour silks plaid and black,
They're warranted all not to crook or ID crack;
And he who sells cheaper than we wlli or can,
| Is lucky indeed a most fortunate man.
But now we have come 10 our ling dfdelaines,
They all bought with and great deal pain;
So the thing Is quite plain, the factpiease regard,
That BostHick Beatty viii sell batter quality ot
haine thda aHs other merthant in RdUennd, for on
II takes too long q,
To sing tho song ...4
9at& '-t ~ OF all we have TO sell;
{s Come friends and all, fy54
. .. Give MS a call, ss- ..s. t..a..s
So patrons now farewell. -.
