1t Is. an amalgamntion of doz'

we reach them what Is the meth
cd by which we can compel
them to take things that they
do not want? And how can we
prevent them from selling their
property again to combination

Way out on the rnges of civilization
Or close to its busiest spot
Wherever retailers present to treat with,
His various samples to scan,
Why, that is the place you are certain meet with
And notice the Travelling Man! @
He's easy to spot, for You cannot mistake him,
There's smart sort of tilt to his lid, -
And dash and devil may-careness that makes him
A person whose trade can't be hid;
Way back in his eyes is luminous twinkle
And his smiles on generous plan
Each and each word each laugh and each wrinkle
Proclaim he's Travelling Man.
Despite all the horrors of countryside taverns
Which follow weariSome ride,
The rooms which nothing but dreary old
And the dishes eternally fried,
He keeps up his cheer he's blthe sunny spirit an
He's built on the joyfuest plan;
The latest in stories or Styles-you will hear it
From the lips of the Travelling Man.
He's gay and he's aippant, trae lirtatious,
But true just the same, to his own,
The helpless ones find him both gentle and gracious,
The other kind leave him alone;
Through all kinds Of trouble and worry and weather
He tends to the work of his clan,
He's link in the chain that keeps mortals together
Here's how to the Travelling Man.
