In fact, SO sore he swore and swore
And kept on swearing mors~~s,d more.
The trouble was that folks, instead
OF patronizing him, by Ned!
Were buying goods by mail, he said.
One day he got little hint
On how to make his store mint
Then hope took on rosy tint.
He came and ADVERTISED his stock;
His store was crowded, chuek'a'

From seven until six o'clock.
SO now this Merchant swears no more
No longer is he feeling sore,
since ADVERTISING crowds his
