! THOMPSON'S BOOK ARCADE The works of all the leading poets of past and present times are to be found on tho bookshelves at THOMPSON'S, Oxford Street, Levin. Spenser's "Faery Queen." Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love ; Sonnets, and various other standard i works may be quoted. Samples of the works of Levin poets, also, may ibe procured at Thompson's. One of j! them, who will do bettor when he I grows older, assures us that— i ll "Mr Thompson keeps a booksellers shop in Levin — And it is the prettiest bookseller's shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. Tf you want a nice little book You can do no better than call At Air Thompson's Book Arcade. Levin." There wore quite a number of Ohau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved to measured praise by the offer of a prize for the best vorsified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes "There's a stationery shop in Levin you should know, Whore all the commonsonse people do go. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop when'er they are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in the many verses sent in' the judge has decided to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S BOi/iv ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown For good quality goods; its the best in the town. Another thing 100, the prices are fair. And thr-vo's j?r» overcharging or huge j'mihis there; So if yc i'r(> ever in Levin—this lively little town — •lust step into Thompson's and lw.-o :i quiz round. For thev'v'- choice there to dis traction, And the re.,'ilt - yon will find h grei'i ;•■!! : sfaetion." JESS [ft CAMPBELL. J. W. Thompson BOOK ARCADE, I.HVIN.
