Dibble and Robinson's goods are nice
And very moderate is their price,
Their milliner is ever there,
With bluest eyes and graceful air.

Then Mrs. Williams, fine and gay,
Keeps millinery goods a grand display,
And sells them cheap, the ladies say,
Just East of Brights, across the way.

Her husband deals in every grade
Of useful things, for household needs,
From cradles fine to sombre shrouds,
In which we ride toward the clouds.

Barner is King in Harness trade,
Butlers is where good boots are made.
They're easy to find, close together,
By anyone working leather.

Gibson's improve each shining hour
Making the best of family flour,
Which Armstrong carries to your door,
For a quarter, some less or more,
Mrs. Bright keeps our large hotel
Must sure be doing wondrous well,
She serves up meals the taste to please,
Keeps always well supplied with peas.
