CD RIO US ADVENTURES OF THE MAN WITH THE SEWING . MACHINE. ; Our. hero was an artisan, , Who toiled from morn till c'en, ! Until, one day, he met a man Who sold the White Machine. • •" ; This man the best of clothes he wore, : ' And held a lofty mien. • ' Ten thousand he had sold and "more, -r : Light-runni/ig WHITE Machines. .-...< : Then'straightway went' this artisan- ; " ; To all his friends of means; . But found, as soon as he'd began, . .■. ■ ' They alLhad White Machinef. . Undaunted still, he boldly, planned, , : His eyes bore, darksome glctams, He said,/', I'll seek some .foreign land, . ,That.aint.got White* Machines.". " "'Tis.a most visionary plan.". : >■••,; •> Said alJ,"Tho' weU- he means, To,bea;missionaiy man, ; And sell the "White Machines." But steadfast was this artisan, ; : And wiry, spry, and lean ; So off he went, his only pian, To sell the White Machiue. He travelled long and very, far, . He braved the wildest scenes, From Labrador to Zanzibar He took his White Machines. In many lands he showed his wares', In towns and valleys green, ' And taught folks how to " sow their tares" By using White's Machine. ■ He trod the storied land of Greece, ; And 'mongst Egypt's fellahiri, He once " patched'up a little peace" By using White's Machine. In India and Afghanistan, The Republic Argentine, Australia, Java and Hindostan, He sold the White Machine. Among them all a wondrous change, This artisan has wrought, ]' ■ And, yet, it is not very strange, For White Machines they bought. The artisan still wanders wide (Ten years here intervene), The people run from every side To. buy his White Machine. Sole Agents for Manawatu— CM. ROSS & CO. Tbe Bon Marche.
