Making the Best.

John Jackenson of Bouldersidee
made postholes for the trade; and
all the users testified, "The finest
postholes made" He started max
ing them by hand, one posthole at
a time; but soon there rose a great
demand from every shore and cline
And so he hired hundred men to
help him at his chore, and still his
trade increased, and then he hired
FIVE hundred more. And now his
factory extends for half a mile or
so, and all his customers are friends
who boost him high and low. For
every posthole from his works IS
perfect as can be, inspected by a
dozen clerks who any flaw would see.
We know that in the posthole trade
there's many a tawdry trick; lot
of worthless holes are made by
skates who'd get rich quick. But
when they come from Boulderside
no fears disturb our souls, for jack
enson, he takes a pride in selling
perfect holes. And SO, while other
makers claim that trade is on the
bum, this Jackenson, who plays the
game, sees mighy orders come.
Each day he sees his business grow,
and grow, and grow again; and
every other week or so he adds FIVE
hundred men.
