MR. EBEN HOLMES OF EASTPORT.
I BELIEVE I'm up against it, when I try to fix in rhyme, The activities of these Eastport men, who hustle all the time: -- Who, like Holmes, ship lumber southward in their coastwise barkentines And take certain time from lumber and devote it to sardines. Thirty years he's been a working, with a deal of honest toil, To extend the ready markets of the little fish in oil; Till his name is known and honored where the can-opener's to be found Which, I hardly need to mention is the whole wide earth around. I said "I'm up against it when I try to fix in rhyme, The business of these Eastport men who hustle all the time," But I have one line in meter that I really want to use To set forth friend Holmes's business, in the way of boots and shoes. Four years, he's been a hustling in a most successful way, Building up a growing business -- more progressive every day And in real estate he's active; knows the price of corner lots, Pushes hard for Eastport's business -- Board of Trade and other sorts And in every way, an active and progressive business man Who, for old Eastport's wealth and progress, will do everything he can.
