Times arc dull an money tt(jht,
But iu those times I'm looking for llgta ;
To those who are hnlldlng rles w ithout number,
I would Inform this Is ths place to buy Lumber;
My motto Is this: -'Qtlck Pales and Smalt Prnfii',"
For business is healthy and I think much of It;
In q-ollty my I.nmber Is second to none,
And as for Shingles, I keep No. 1 ;
Some may not look at it In the llht I do,
And for it.oee I have a quality No. S ;
And tn thoso who ore particular ns some may fc,
I still haveanot'jtrqtia.lly ciillid No
I have pood seasoned Lumber. Pressfd up nice,
Which I will sell at a low cash price;
Such as Fhierlnf, Celling and Siding, oo'Ji Rough
and Dressed,
Lath, ButtHUS and Surfaced Lumber, alt ef tho
beai ;
I also have Rig Lnmucrof all kinds.
At pi Ices to compare with oil and hard llmca;
All kinds of Timber kept constantly on hand,
And a box of Cigars of a very good brand;
Wy ficllltles for set lug are surely without number
I alwayj keep good teams to duliver good Lumber;
8o If you wnnt Lumber, Rou;;h, Dressed, Soft or
Hard,
You will find iwat what you wuut at L M B's Lum
