SALEM FRUIT COMPANY Wholesale Distributors SUNKIST Oranges and Lemons T This town is going to the dogs I always said it would; The people don't turn in and help A neighbor like they should. I've always thought we all should aid A fellow in his fights, And, when he gets the worst of it, Should help him get his rights. But do the people do like that In this community? When I have trouble like I have, Do they come helping me? For instance, with the railroad I Have got some trouble now; Have people helped me as they should To fix that little row? You see I bought some shingles from Chicago, where they're cheap; I saved a dollar on the lot, For here they're pretty steep. I needed them, and right away, The rainy days were near; The railroad took a month at least To get the shingles here.' And, when I got them, half a bunch Was missing from the lot; I guess it was the better half The poorest ones I got The freight bill was another fright They overcharged me, too; And I won't pay it, not a cent I won't be robbed. Would you? But I can't get the shingles now, Nor get my money back. The railroad will not give them up It's raining in the shack. The merchants they won't do a thing- I think it is a crime; They ought to rise and make a kick And bring that road to timet WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL REVIEW New Payrolls, Improvement and Factories and Enterprises that Will Give Labor Employment, and Matters Affecting Indus tries and Investments.
