223 WATER STREET EXETER, N. H. THOUGHTS HERE they come--the youth of the nation, As bright and as good as they are, They come here with great expectations, Let us help them to make and not mar. There is much beside book education That may put them ahead just so fur- So we hope a right mental formation Will go forth from this business bazaar. While we scribble grandiloquent phrases, You know we've an ax to be groundg In business you sing your own praises, To make good we must ever be bound. Years ago at the bottom we started, Much of toil and distress we have known, From the path of our goal we ne'er parted, And as always we've reaped what we've SOWH. Consider, yourself, what the seed was, If poor it sure never would grow: It has llourishedv with never the least p Till a 'f quality i' garden we show. We invite you to call and inspect usg VVhat we merit is all wc expectg Our stock is our only prospectus, Your verdict we'll gladly accept. For a desk, a chair, or a carpet, A lamp, a rug, or a couch, To store your goods, or to pack it, i1llSC Our price will not drain your fat pouch. The past docs foretell of the future, So what we have done we can dog May our record not well be our teacher And decide you to let us serve you. Cordially yours, RALPH E. MERAS, '03. iii
