A Motto,

Looked little rough at first;
Cyclone came and did it's worst;
Smashed the windows round the town:
Turned the roofing upside down.
But we've opened up the store,
Doing business as before.
Placid skies are overhead;
YOU'D believe us If we said,
Never touched us,''
And, when hard times come to try
Men who sell and men who buy,
1t Is just as sure as fate
Things'll somehow come out straight
Only wait a little more
Well be booming as before.
They're the men that win the day
Who can face ill-luck and say,
Never touched us!''
