Why has Miss Prince gone to Bostons
Would you really like to known
It 10 not exactly pleasure trip,
Though pleasant, we hope, as things 20.
1t happens this way. Our many friends
Have been so very kind Of late,
That II It be possible so to do
We their kindness would compensate.
Our dress goods are getting very low,
In trimmings we want the newest things,
Buttons and frnges, gimps and Jets,
And any novelties this season brings.
As the days grow short and windy and cold,
People will need warmer nannels and hose,
And our stock Is sadly In need Of more,
For this year we haven't bought those.
Our blankets too are almost all gone,
Aud our stock Of shawls ID small,
Cottons and crashes and aannels and ticks,
Oh, yes, we are needing them all.
Ribbons and ruches TOO, and gloves,
Corsets and neckties, light and gay,
Spool cotton and silk, needles and pins,
And such things you use every day.
All these and very much more We need,
And this we think good reason,
Why Miss Prince went to Boston herself, to select
New goods for our friends this season.
Very truly,
s.B.&Z z. 8. PRINCE,
ll8 Main st., Norway.
