But while Geo. Marshall keeps store
High-priced goods will sell no more.
If a clock or watch you are in need,
Go to Marshall's with all speed;
You'll find him ready his goods to show
And always give You prices low.
In iewelry you'll always find
Something suited to your mind;
a nice watch chain to give your pal,
Or wedding ring for your chest gall
He has fancy goods and other toys,
To please the little girls and BOYS;
a line of books for young and old,
And the cheapest Bibles ever sold.
OF violins he has Il score,
Flutes and harmonious as many more;
Also iewsharps the boys to please,
And dolls for which the children tease.
In stationery his stock is large,
For which small prices he does charge;
School books, blank books,and many NOR
In great abundance kept in store.
In plated ware large stock you'll find
Always of the richest kind;
His goods are right prices low,
He's always proud his goods to show.
All his novelties he cannot name,
Yet he keeps them "just the same;"
Albums, scrap books that are fine,
Pen, ink and pencils, an endless line.
So when you're ready for 10 buy,
Come right along, and don't be shy,
Walk boldly in, don't stop to knock,
You'll find his store in Upper block.
