pemnns have been making researches and experf

the p.vilt of the aitcccmful inventor It is when

Friends and patrons, one and all.
Your attention to my "biz" I would call;
Timrs arc dull an money t it-lit.
But In these times I'm looking for light;
To those who are building tlfl without number,
I would inform this is the place to buy Lumber;
My motto Is this: -'Quick Sales and Small Profit,"
for business is healthy and I think much of It;
In quality my Lumbar Is second to none,
And as for Shingles, I keep Mo. 1 ;
Some may not look at It In the light I do,
And for tl.oee I have a quality No. 3 ;
And to those who arc particular as lomo may be,
I still have another quallly called Ko
I have pood seasoned Lumber, Dressed up nice,
Which I will sell at a low cush price;
Such as flooring, Celiinj and Siding, both Rongta
and Dressed,
Lath, Battens and Surfaced Lumber, all of tbe
besi;
I also have Rig Lnmber of all kinds, -At
prices to compare with oil and hard times ;
All kinds of Timber kept constantly on hand,
And a box of Cigars of a very pood brand;
My facilities for selling are surely without number
I alwayj keep good teams to deliver good Lumber;
Ho If ynn want Lumber, Rough, Dressed, Soft er
Hard,
You will flndjmt what you want at L M S'a Lum
