Advertising Talk A hen is not supposed to have Much common sense or tact, Yet every time she lays an egg She cackles forth the fact. A rooster hasn’t got a lot Of intellect to show, But none the less most roosters have i Enough good sense to crow. The mule, the most despised of beasts, Has a persistent way Of letting folks know he’s around By his insistent bray. The busy little bees they buzz, Bulls bellow and cows moo, g teg The watch dogs bark, the ganders quack, The doves and pigeons coo. 5 The peacock spreads his tail and squacks, ! Pigs squeal and robins sing 1 j And even serpents know enough g To hiss before they sting. But man, the greatest masterpiece S * That nature could devise, 5 Will often stop and hesitate 5 Before he’ll advertise. jg || Merchants who are wise J| 5 And want our people’s trade g| Use THE MONITOR to advertise And thus their fortune’s made.
