The Maryport Advertiser - 25 March, 1882

 A NEW YEAR'S TREAT.
 Tis New Years Day, so, friend, to you
want to say a word or two.
 Pray stay a moment, lend your ear,
 This is the time for words of cheer,
 I wish you now a right good year,
 With troubles few, and pence to spare,
 And now, my friend, pray will you say
 What you intend to do to-day?
 For I was thinking if 'twould be
 Convenient to you as me,
 That we along the road might walk
 And thus might have a friendly talk.
 All right, you'll come; I thought you would;
 Refuse me that you hardly could.
 Well, now I want to tell you,
 A little scheme I have in view.
 When first I lived in Water-Street,
 I always gave my boys a treat
 At Christmastime, and now, this year,
 If time enough I have to spare,
 I mean to take them all to see
 The Wigton Clothing Factory
 Tis really worth a visit friend,
 For there are wonders without end,
 The cutting-out machine to me
 Is just a perfect mystery.
 While that for the fast'ning buttons on
 Is scarcely less a wonderous one.
 Then there's the sales room just below,
 And there, of course, I always go
 When trousers, coat, or vest I need,
 Of worsted-cloth, or handsome tweed.
 The clothes are cheap, and nicely made,
 I know no better in the trade.
 Now, will you go along with me
 That you the place as well may see?
