Since Merit now doth rule the world,
The world will happier be,
For Merit takes the foremost rank,
Where Merits stand should be:
IT'S Merit makes the merchant strive,
With all his might and main,
To merit custom for his goods,
And customers retain.
Now if to Merit you're inclined,
There's one Firm / know well,
Whose meritorious custom is,
The best Of Goods to sell
At prices, too, SO very low
That they cannot be beat;
Why just visit to their Store
Is certainly a treat!
There you'll see, in everything,
The latest in demand
In styles quite new, and pretty too,
With no old stock on hand.
T. S. LOPEZ is the Firm,
Whose merits are SO rare,
That you will find their deals with you
Are all upon the square!
Just as they represent their Goods,
You'll find them, sure
Thereby they merit custom from
The great, the rich, the poor.
Save money, time and trouble,
And don't forget the stand,
It's known the land all over

alike to the student and to the casual
reader, and all who heard bis lecture
were richly rewarded.
