JUST TOWN TALK
ONCE UPON a time
THERE,, WAS a mat!
WHO MADE his living
AND A good living it.
WAS RIGHT. here in .
WINGHAM but he had
A BAD habit of
BUYING MANY- of the
THINGS HE needed from
MAIL ORDER houses forgetting
THAT THE prosperity of Wingham
DEPENDED ON the prosperity
OF HIS neighbors and
THE BUSINESS men of
WIN.GHAM and a short
TIME AGO he ordered
SOME SOCKS and when
THEY CAME he was displeased
AND HE wrote the
MAIL ORDER house that
THE PATTERN was so vile
THAT HE wouldn't be
SEEN ON the street
IN THEM and the answer
CAME RIGHT back
"DIDN'T ; WE guarantee
THAT YOU wouldn't
WEAR THEM : out"
AND NOW , he- buys at
HOME AND gets what he
WANTS WHEN he wants it,
I THANK you.
