Take Heed.
A DEALER IN TOWN. BEING UNABLE TO
suit a difficult customer, sent him the following:
' Take no offence. You must admit
Your homely foot is hard to fit.
Of all the different feet I've seen .
Yours is the ugliest I have met;
And there's no shoe to suit, I ween,
In all the town that you can get.
But he was mistaken. Tbe party called on
GEO. R. FRENCH A SONS, ICS North Front St.,
who fit him beautifully witb an elegant pair or
Shoes. He wrote to the dealer:
I took no offence at the note that ton writ .
And admit, since you ask it, my foot's hard to
fit;
But your goods were not shapely, nor finished,
nor neat.
As those of French A Sons. rAcyarw hard to
beat. dec.aotf
