SONG OF THE SHOPPERS.

we are shoppers and you'll find US
everywhere about the town,
ana we always leave behind us
clerks with smile and clerks with frown;
Bundles In our arms we carry,
nouSh we sometimes have them sent,
Whlle about the stores we tarrY
I'LL our money is all spent.
Longest way to US Is quickest,
II 1t leads by bargain stores;
AND you'll find US in the tbickest
Of the crowd before the doors
Wnere they sell at slaughter prices,
Advertise big mark down sales
AT tremendous sacrifices,
OF some big concern that fails.
We make business for all mortalS,
And, II we should cease to shop,
Factories would close their portals,
ana the wheels of trade would STOP;
But we keep the money flowing,
Buying goods from every cline,
Thus we Keep the world a-going,
Buying, buying all the time.
we go shopping, we go shopping;
we Shop on from morn till night,
Never stopping, never stopping,
iii Inc shops are closed up tight;
sometimes trying, sometimes trying
10 ouy at a sacrifice.
Oft-tlmes buying. oft-times buying
everything, at every price.
