" Well, Mr.. Jones !" said neighbor Brown,
I'll start this very day for town,
And get pair of Boots for me,
And also shoe my family.
SO Bill you go and harness Doll,
And straight to town VII go. by gol,
And stop in front Of SMITHS Store
Where the Boots hang DER the door.
Bill always does what father tells.
He harnessed Doll and put on Bells,
Aud in they piled young ones and all,
Crack went the whip and off went Doll
Doll had been living on high feed,
And started at her fastest speed,
And took Brown aud his family straight
To Paw Paw at two-forty gait,
Whoa, Whoa, old Doll BIZ cried out when
They got to Main Street, Number Ten.
And out they jumped IN front the door,
of Poet Smiths Mammoth Store.
In they went with an awful swell,
Good morning, hope to find you well,
said Brown as he and his young drove
Advanced to warm them at the stove.
Ny neighbor Jones brought me the news
How cheap you sold your Boots aud shoes,
SO resolved to come and buy
OF you my winters full supply.
To shoe the tribe, Smith began,
Beginning first with the old man
And then the young Browns little feet.
We're shod and fitted all complete.
The news soon spread the county round,
That just the place at length was found
Where men could save fifty per cent.
On every dollar that they spent.
Remember where you can buy Coats
Thread for 5 cts. spool.
Respectfully, Yours,
