There is man in btir town,
That thinks he's wondrous wise.
Fas lots Of goods, sells lots of goods,
But he doesn't advertise.
And when he finds his goods arc gone,
This man that's wOndrOus wise;
Fills his shelves with bran new Stock
Bit lie does mt advertise.
Now how is this, that many err,
Who think they're wondfous wise,
And never attempt to open o stock
Until after they ADVERTISED
BY those who'd be wondrOus wise.
A reason for the folly of those, we'd have
Who always advertise.
