Brotherhood
The crest and crowning of all good.
Life’s final star is Brotherhood;
For it will bring again to earth
Her long-lost poesy and mirth;
Will send new Jight on every face,
A kingly power upon tfie race.
And till it come, we men are slaves.
And travel downward to the dust of graves.
Come, clear the way, then clear the way!
Blind creeds and kings have had their da/.
Break the dead branches from the path:
Our hope is in the aftermath,
Our hope is in the heroic man,
Star-led, to build the world again.
To this event the ages ran.
Make way for Brotherhood—make way for man.

I wish to announce to all that are interested
in making their money go the farthereat that I
am prepared with lots of goods bought before
they reached the present high prices. There-
fore I can and will sell cheaper than the man
that buys today. I earnestly invite you to call
and share the benefit of my early buying.
We will always pay the highest market price
for your produce.
Yours truly,
