i
That both have got money in bank,
There is now new process that prevents
any losses
That formerly were when sweat through
by tank.
The occupation is healthy, the men ought
to get wealthy
That work DER "beam" by the day,
And to Judge by their looks and the figures
in bank books,
It's fair guarantee of good pay.
Starks Edison, by sign seen, makes paint
"a la casein,)
In factory that is on our Main street,
He gives plenty of reference that his paint
takes the preference
In making walls white as -four from new
wheat.
Whipple, Thompson s. Co. deal in lumber
and in meal;
The grist mill DER the bridge is a fix
Father Dutton is on deck to give bushel
ora peck
OF straight goods or corn and oats mix
ture
Now the mill is quiet, firms knocked high
er than kite,
And everybody hereabouts said dam.
Ice that caused the fun, makes work that
must be done,
Before there's water in the fume, or ice
can make another jam.
Our saw mill plant has grown, and fact
already known
Is that Kilburn is a builder of renown,
His planners, moulders, saws make sure
there is no cause
Why he cannot be the builder of the
town.
Custom saving makes part of the bust
ness on the start,
The yard now is full of hemlock, pine
and spruce;
He will make quite commotion when he
gets the plant in motion,
Sawdust and splinters then will fly, while
fitting stock for use.
Just below the Kilburn mill, at foot of
Frost street hill,
lothian Whtcomb jobs in woodwork all
alone;
He will plane your boards and match them,
fix your doors so you can latch Them
Or let You grind your dull axe on his
grindstone.
It's handy place to call Gf you can get
in there and not falI
And "Jote" will do his very level best
To please you in his work, though he does
not make much talk.
He just sorts out the lumber, and ma
chinery does the rest
John r. Alexander sells coal and proved
he had a soul,
BY selling us 'black diamonds" while
they were on the rise.
While some of the other dealers were quot
ed as stealers,
John gave us what we needed at last
years lowest price.
Tobacco leaf he's bought employing many
men to sort
The Indian leaf into several different
grades,
Some for filters, some for binders, some low
grades for stem winderS
Called "twofers" sorted for the different
trades.
Then it's packed in boxes closely Ctwont
do to pack it loosely
AS the leaf goes thrOuOh a prOpeSe oa11oJ
sweat.
Then comes the sample fryer, or else the
ready buyer,
And if his bid is high enough, he gets the
"tobac" you bet.
If money makes the mare go, Messrs. H. l..
Hecht & Co.
Are working her for all that she can pull ;
They are making wooden goods from old
pants and knitted hoods,
Mixed with, perhaps, a 'steenth per cent
of WOOL
Thomas Mack, Che is their super, and is
to the orkmen tutor,
Is a man that fully understands his
trade,
The goods look very nice, and sell for a
profit price,
And the worklnen in the mill are amply
paid;
Three thousand yards (about) each week
the mill turns out,
Sold ahead on orders, without any fuss
or hustle,
Their business in our place we hope will
grow apace,
Their motto in large letters is Hustle"
C. H. Nichols with his freight team to all
of us seems
To be a man we can say is cup and
dressed"
We don't have to wait, for his bundles and
freight
Especially that we had ordered ex-
| pressed
Perhaps it's our failing and we ought stop
bewaillng,
Because the cars don't run through our
front yard,
You could, Mr.. Electric, give us what is
expected
And stop the bearing down on you, so
hard.
The cars are here and we are glad and we
should feel very sad,
If the trolleys We're to be taken away.
In the summer we know there is no
trouble with snow
And the cars have nearly whole right of
way,
But when steam trains are late, we OF
course have to wait
For our mail to come out to the River,
| That's all right! We are dumb when the
trolley has come,
And no blame is attached to the driver.
Mr.. Houghton, the head man, does what
he can
ice,
But some people would whine if asked out
to dine,
And think they could do better. Though
anovice,
Houghton says eff they would try it, per-
haps they would buy it,
And learn, man to please all is hard
to be found,
Nine out of ten of self ''smarty" men
Would run the whole shooting match
in the ground
1t may be but dreams when so often il
seems
Conductor of 50 could make sure
We should not wait Boston mail until il
was stale
Which through thoughtlessness we have
to endure.
The very poor excuse is of no mortal use
To those that come miles for letter
That 1--WE supposed it had gone, ON the
forty-five before one"
Brace up, look around and do better.
When the noon "Fitchburg" is late, and
your electric can't wait
You might do this much, and more,
Have your next man call at p. 0. and the
plan
