BLESSED are they that  Cheap Boots and Shoes are the product of women and children for the purpose of cutting down the price of labor. Working men look to this, or the fact may come home to yourselves. It is a fact— That the vilest rubbish known in the boot traders palmed upon the public under the disguise of the GASH system. Say the world is advancing— well-think as you will, the world is deceived by appearance still. No matter about principle so the editor suits you. You are deceived in the man from his hat: to his boots. But without more delay, I will come to the point, or perhaps you will say my rhyme out of joint. Show me his company, I will tell you the man by the boots (he doth weax). His principles surely of looseness do smack, smack, what do you think? What do you think? The man by the boots (he doth weax). These are Cheap Boots of all trades— the gulls to ensnare. Are, who deluge the town with their brim-magem ware. Look in that window, how the boots are glossed over and a ticket to tickle your fancy the more. You pay down your cash, think you have made a good hit. But before a week's o'er, you find you were bit; For the y uppers and bottoms they never keep whole, And there is a quick dissolution of body and sole. Good marks can have credit, without any doubt. And as to the bad ones, I have found them all put. LIVERPOOL, & LONDON, & GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY. All classes of life risks in town or country taken at current rates.
