1t Pays to Advertise
By A. j. Platt

By A. ]. Plat
If you want to, boost your city,
Get busy and be wise;
Come from behind the corners,
Come out and advertise.
Twill help the surrounding country,
Twill help your city too;
II you'll wake from out your slumbers
And start something that is new.
No use to spend your money
For things that are no good;
Then patronize your merchants
AS every person should.
You. then. will reap the harvest,
That from your labors rise;
Get busy then, good people,
Come out and advertise.
Don't be an egotist or pessimist,
But an optomist most true;
And advertise your country,
Then wealth will come to you.
Your city then, will prosper.
II with others you'll advise;
Then wake and get your heart in line
For 1t pays to advertise.
