W hy not buy something Useful as well as Ornamental? Some nook or corner in your home will need some odd piece to
bring it into harmony with the rest of the room. For just these needs we have a full line of the best pieces such as
Library Tables, Mission Pieces, Couches, Morris and Leather Chairs, Rock-
ers for every description. Buffos, Dining Tables, Book Cases and a hun
dred others.
Dl
Then, too, we have Rugs, Carpeting of all designs, Matting, Linoleums,
and evrpthing for the floor. Iron Bedsteads, Mattresses, and Springs.
FST GIVE TO ME A SOLID WEDGE OF YANKEE PUMPKIN PIE!
t them eat those airy pastry puffs they think so very nice
cause they’ve got outlandish names and cost a mighty price,
it, say, to curb your appetite and your stomach satisfy
ere’s nothing like a great big chunk of Yankee pumpkin pie!
ast beef may have more nutriment, more body building worth;
al, mutton, lamb, be nourishing and stretching of your girth;
ur chicken, duck or turkey may suit palates very fine,
t these can take a back seat when I ’m passing down the line,
sh, flesh and fowl may serve to stay the appetites of some,
t you must treat me better when I to your table come,
ave out the high toned viands, let each dainty dish go by,
I can get my face fast in a piece of pumpkin pie!
