Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1908-04-24


And on Billy there were no flies;
But to marry, she could not decide
Until he could home provide
For she'd received too many tips"
Through other matrimonial slips.
So Billy being lad of muscle,
Pulled off his coat and began to hustle.
And, spurred by love. being fortunate,
His gains began to accumulate,
The money earned-he seldom drank
He put in the Middlebury National bank.
Carpenter, the ieweler, first he sought.
From whom the engagement ring was
brought.
From several beauties which he inspect
ed,
A solitaire diamond was selected;
Here new arrivals met his eye.
Which in the future he must buy
Silverware in great galore
Were shown him in this model store
Clocks and watches, pins and rings,
Jewels fit for queens or kings,
Solid silver, plated ware,
Cut glass too, in patterns rare,
Fine engravings as you have need,
And skilled repairing, guaranteed.
With the money he in time had got
OF Norman S. Foote then he bought a
lot.
Here he planned, and planned it well,
To make his future home and dwell.
mo paying rent for me" said he,
mo landlord bossing over me,
I'll have home my own to call
Ca lesson which applies to all
After which the deed was drawn
And the lot was his ere another dawn.
So whether it be for farm or lot
10 To, ha
So you should cal on him this very day
And secure home without delay.
Rogers & Wells then did fill
The contract for the lumber bill.
Door and windows, sash and blinds,
Builders materials of all kinds,
Seasoned lumber, higi est grade,
Mouldings newels, finest made
Rails and balusters, all new
Shingles, laths and clapboards, too,
A yard complete in everything,
You've only but your wants to bring,
Roofing material of every kind
And good red brick you'll also find.
If your mind is therefore filed
With a thought that you may build,
Don't forget ere tits too late
70 let Rogers e Wells estimate.
The plans were drawn, the contract made
With builder foremost in his trade,
And his house was built in manner neat
BY Lavonche of North Pleasant street,
And never was house built better,
| Each plan fulfilled to the very letter.
From the cellar to the very dome
1t was, indeed, model home.
For when Lavonche contract takes
He has no time to make mistakes.
Now let every one, by this take heed
And should repairing be ones need
| Twill pay you well this man to meet,
This Lavonche on North Pleasant street.
For the plumbing, and the heat as well,
| To Farnsworth IL Co., the contract fell
A first-class job in every way,
And made. as Farnsworth makes, to
stay,
They installed the heating, too,
Made all connections, neat and true,
Sanitary conditions all fulfilled,
Labor highest class and skilled,
And a guarantee, wherein he agrees
That all work done will surely please.
The proof of the pudding, by the way,
Lies in the eating, so they say,
Therefore, for plumbing let me suggest
That you call on Farnsworth when you
invest.
For the painting and the papering too,
With A. G. Taber he the contract drew
a man well known for miles around.
None better, as our hero found.
Wall paper, of the highest grade,
Paints, that the sun will never fade,
Decorating, a special feature,
An art he's learned-he needs no teacher,
Employees, all of whom are skilled,
Guaranteeing every contract filled,
Another thing, wish to mention
To which he pays careful attention
Is that ali his work is number one,
And he does it when you want it done.
To Robbins & Severance he gave his
trade
For furniture of the highest grade,
Chairs and touches, beds and springs
And everything known as furnishings.
A desk, divan and chamber suit
Every piece of which was a perfect
"beaut,"
Here too a gift causing many laugh
Was also bought-a monograph
And many an evening when alone
They were entertained by wondrous tone.
The Standard Sewing Machine-by the
way
Is the very best, so its users say.
So for furniture call at their fine store
For no one can quote prices lower.
"And now" said he, ''to make secure,
With Foote I'll this house insure"
A policy was then and there obtained
On his house and all that it contained.
Insure your home, for who can say
What hour may see it swept away?
Think not because you've never lost
That you can always save the cost;
The very next alarm that blows
May be for you, one never knows.
And the rising of tomorrow's sun
May reveal to you ruin done.
Therefore take heed, without delay
Insure with Foote, do it today.
To the wedding now they wepd their
way,
With Billy rugged out in grand array
For with Atwood & Co., we did induce
This man to trade-our Mr.. Bruce.
For suits and hats and furnishings,
And all those needful little things
That serve to make man well dressed,
