A Sure Investment. You have never yet made an investment Where you didn't expect to win, But you sometime have found to your sorrow You've beautifully taken in. You may have laid down your good money For a brick which you found wasn't gold, Or met the Bohemian oats swindler, When you, with yoaroats, have been sold. If asked by a friend to play poker, You'd experience, no doubt quite a shock; Then never join hands with a fellow Who makes money by watering stock. Now if you would like an investment -In which you can't possibly lose, Supose a fewjMlar in one of Ed. M. Egg "Fine Taflored Suits. Cor. 5th and Jackson Street
