The Speal' that grows, as limned above, Holds place of such estate South POl'tland sure would welcome give To endless duplicate. With coal or wood-the rhynIe is hardHe'll make your fires bright, And if you fear they burn too much He'll your insurance write. You ask your neighbors, what of him, If stands his record, clear? The answer ever is the same, "No better nlan than Spear."
