Boost For Glasco

What old town is full of biz,
Full of hustle, push and siz,
Glasco! Sure enough it is,
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Real estate is on the boom
Buy a lot before its noon,
Some one else will get it soon.
Glasco Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

There's a flouring mill they say,
And it's run by Mr. Rae.
Get your flour there right away.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Here, for miles they come to trade,
Leave their autos in the shade,
On the stores they make a raid.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Johnson, Studt and Bowersox,
Farmers come to trade in flocks,
For they all keep dandy stocks.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Furniture! There's Grant and Stine,
They both keep a dandy line,
When you're there they'll treat you
fine,
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Melton furnishes the meat
And his line is quite complete,
What you buy there's good to eat.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

There's three places you may dine,
Morris', Whalen's and Nick Klein's,
Either place they'll treat you fine,
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Two rooming houses I well know,
And you'll find them on the go,
Well furnished rooms they have to
show.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

There are others I'll agree,
All too numerous you see,
Hunt them up but don't ask me.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.

Bring your mother, wife and son,
Come to Glasco on the run.
Don't forget to bring your mon.
Glasco, Kan.^___Glasco, Kan.
