•QiCRAPSI SCRAPS!! Safe and Reliable. AGENTS WANTED. Important to all are the facts I'm recording, 'Cause times nOw are bad, we must cut things according ; No doubt they'll improve when the hole's thro' the hill, And that's not far off, now they've put through the Bill. Till then we must get on the best way we can, Don't run up long bills, but pay cash is the plan To get most for our money, and make both ends meet; To deal with H. 8,, who lives near Matson's Creek, And opposite Meech, that very dreadful man, Who oft disturbs ye harmony of that peaceful Joying clan Of noble-minded Councillors, who meet every other week In the grand old Council Chamber down Balguerie street. I think you know by this where's Henry Billens' shop. But for fear you make mistake and into some other pop, I have made a grand discovery, for which I claim renown, That Economy House is " slap battg " In the centre of the town. So now I'll continue my wares to describe, And first on the list to catch 'em alive, Is the new patent mousetrap, that never needs baiting*;, And pleases the mice, for it don't keep them waiting ; Mixed biscuits, Noah's arks, and sauce- ; pans enamel, Dutch hoes and fine pencils from hair of the camel, Swiss cigars, French fiddles, Yankee augers that travel, Jack-planes, Tomahawks, and shovels for gravel, Water monkeys, gold lockets, and eau-de-cologne, Scotch mixtures, brass cannons, shirt studs, pearl and bone, Plumbobs, oyster knives, and cherry wood pipes, Dog whistles, cow bells, with string to fly kites, Jam jars, tissue paper, soft solder, clothes pegs, Bird cages, stone lime, graters , for, nutmegs, Tin whistles, note-paper, meat stands with three legs, Wire skewers, and grindstones, new beaters for eggs, Tool baskets, prize books, and tackle for fishing, Iron bedsteads, and fenders for parlor and kitchen, Tin pannikins, vases, bottle blacking, and cakes, Shaving brushes, good scissors, with gridirons for steaks.
