Fine new line or men S hats. We beat the field on tents. try us
 See our trunks. Oh the artist gets both wealth and fame
 And the poet gets cheque, And the Junk Man scabs on both these jobs.
 But he gets it in the neck. We've stacks of poetry now on hand
 And peddlinR is no joke; We've paintings too, by the yard to sell.
 But the Board of Trade is broke. But now we've fame and an hon. ored name
 On stove our fame was won, They burn most any old thing you got
 And bake like a son-of-a-gun. See us and save money on shoes,
 mattresses. Beds: gosh.
 We always want furniture.
