The best of every thing we keep.
And what appears SO funny,
Wen sell you goods so very cheap,
twill save you lots ofmOney.
just to make noise and show,
Some men will sell on credit;
But pay day rolls around, you know,
And then you're sure to dread it.
So we invite you, every one,
Gentlemen and ladies,
Come pay the cash, and thereby shun
Those dreadful, ugly pay days.
Our goods are not mixed up with trash,
But the very incest;
Purchased very low for cash
Bought at panic prices.
We have line of calico
That beats the Dolly Warden;
And if you do not find it SO,
Then we will ask your pardon.
Travel round the Grecian bend,
From New Yerk on to Naples;
You cannot find you may depend,
A better line of staples.
we aim to treat our customers right,
For that is just our notion;
Feel greatful for the smallest mite,
And big ones in proportion.
So we invite you, one and all;
Politeness-now what is it?
Wen charge you nothing for the call,
And thank you for the visit
%
Be sure we're not deceiving you,
Forsure we do not flatter;
And all we say you'll find is true,
And that is what's the matter.
