1 Advertising Talk
I r A hen is not supposed to have
i Much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg 5
a She cackles forth the fact. -
ft A rooster hasn’t got a lot
Of intellect to show,
But none the less most roosters have
ft Enough good sense to crow. i
The mule, the most despised of beasts,
ft Has a persistent way
Of letting folks know he’s around
By his insistent bray.
ft! The busy little bees they buzz, i
ft Bulls bellow and cows moo, |
The watch dogs bark, the ganders quack,
The doves and pigeons coo.
■ The peacock spreads his tail and squacks,
a Pigs squeal and robins sing
ft And even serpents know enough
ft To hiss before they sting. p
rl But man, the greatest masterpiece ft
Pi That nature could devise, E
H Will often stop and hesitate '

Merchants who are wise
1 And want our people’s trade ;
M Use THE MONITOR to advertise
■ And thus their fortune’s made.
