A BUSINESS MELODY.
There was a man in our town, And lie was wondrous wise, For when be marked bis prices down Ho then did advertise.
And when be saw his trade increase, With all his might and main He marked still lower every price, And advertised again.
And when he Advertised again, Hia rivals stumped and tore, To see folks rush with might end mum To patronise his store.
And while they sat iu solitude, And saw him custom win, That man behind the coanter stood And raked the shekels in.
And when he raked the shekels in, And saw his fortune rising, He tooK a goodly lot of tin And kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he’d sink, And demonstrate full plain The more one pays for printer’s ink The greater is his gain.
