are divided, collect yourselves and come
home! Ye are wanted! Combina-
tons Of all sorts of men that help the
printer to become a proprietor, gather
such force, and demand with such good
reasons, your appearance, that nothing
short of the sight of you will appease
them. Collect yourselves, for valuable
as you are in the aggregate, single you
will never pay the cost of gathering.
Come in here, in single file, that the
printer may form you into battalion,
and send you forth again to battle for
him, and vindicate his feeble credit,
Reader, are You sure you haven't a
couple of the printers dollars sticking
about your clothes?
