WHAT


Why beautiful goods, that viii cause great talk,
As old friend, NJ Powers, has Just returned from
New York
And receiving his Store, Southeast of the
Square,
rich Spring and Summer Stock, which he'll sell very
fair,
Embracing clothing and every article the furnishing
line,
Which beauty and durability struly divine.'
He has coats and pants Of almost every style and
shade.
Most fashionably cut, and very neatly pressed and
made;
And for handsome vests-he'n sell you one in
fash
For the very least possible share of your cash.
Nor forgetting old line Wings and Democrats,
For whom he keeps a VARIETY of suitable hats,
The finest caps-all fancies sure to please
Both cloth and silk, and new style Japanese;
Handsome shirts, and splendid cravsts and collars,
So VI. Powers don't neglect TO bring your dollars;
For with myriads would now dispute,
VINO dare say his garments fail to suit;
Those most neat and fastidious in taste,
Who oft in badly made clothes their money waste.
But strange TO say, for the very smallest sum,
You feel inclined to expend at Powers Emporium,
He will give you bargains very rcih are rare,
That viii compel you for months to wonder and stare.
BE keeps clothing to suit the large and the small,
And TO credit our word, Just give him call.
s9Quick sales and small profits" is his motto long
traced,
So to NJ. Powers Store for bargains make haste.
