Friends and patrons, one and all,
Yunr attention to my "biz" I would call;
Tlmrs are dull an money tight,
Ilut.ln thutfe times I'm iuoklug for Hht ;
To those who are huildlnir ris without nnmber,
I wuitld inform this Is the piaco to buy Lumber;
My iiiotto is this: -'Q ilclc Sales ni d Hmall I'roflt,"
Fur b isiness is healthy and I think much of it;
In q-nlity my Lumber Is second to none,
And as for Shingles, I keap No. 1 ;
Some may not lo- k nt It in the liitlit I do,
And fur tl.ose I huvo a ipia.lty No. S ;
And to those who arc particular aa some may lit,
I still have auot'.ur q;:u:lly culhd No
J have (joinl seasoned I.itm'ier, Die-'aod up nice,
Which I will till at a low cah price;
Such as FlTerlii!,', Celling and Siding, ootli Rcnrgh
and Drc-sed,
Lath, Utttttns and fiurfacod Lumber, all of the
best ;
I also have Itlit'Lnmbcrof all kl ids,"
At prices to compare with oil aud hard times;
All kinds of Timber kept cor.stanfly on hand,
And a bos of Clg.irs of a very good brand;
My ficllitles for Ml Ing arc surely without number
I alwayj keep good teams to dullvur guud Lumber;
Srfif you want Lumber, Hough, ;Drcsscd, Bofi or
ILinl,
You will flnd just what yon want at L M H's Lum
