YOUR BACK ORDERS 



Keep your temper, gentle Sir, 



Writes tbe Mann-facturer, 

 Thoucrh your gooda are over-due. 



For a week, or maybe two. 

 We can't help It; please don't swear; 



Labor's scarce, and Needles rare; 

 Can't get wax, can't get dyes; 



These are facts: We tell no lies. 



Harry's drafted, so Is Bill; 



All our work Is now uphill; 

 So your Orders, we're afraid. 



May be still a bit delayed; 

 Still you'll eet them, don't get vexed. 



Maybe this week, maybe next. 

 Keep on hoping; don't say die. 



You win get them by and by.
