CURIOUS 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, : Light-rnnni.ig WHITE Machines. ;Then straightway went this artisan ' ' To all his friends of means, But found, as soon as he'd began, . ■ They all had White Machines. ' Undaunted still, he boldly planned, . His eyes bore darksome gleams, ; . He said, " I'll seek some foreign land, That aint got White Machines." , " Tis a most visionary plan." Said-all; " ? Tho' well he means,To be a missionary man, And sell the White Machines." i But steadfast was this artisan, And wiryy spry, and lean ; ; So off he went, his only plan, • I To, sell the White J^fachiue. 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 fellahin, ;He once : " patched up a little peace" :By using White's Machine. ; ', ' In India and- Afghanistan, .: . ; The Republic Argentine, Australia, Java and Kindostan, :, He sold the White Machine. Among them all a wondrous change, This artisan has wrought, .'.■;■:, And, yet, it is not very strange, , . . Foi-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. Tlie Bon Marche.
