LET THE BUYER BEWARE!


Beware O Buyer, stores can rob you blind! Not everybody loves you, that's a fact. No, folks can be unscrupulous, unkind; unwary innocents can those attract! Be careful, pay attention, pray ahead – yes, be prepared for liars, cheats, and thieves. Why get ripped off? Get smart instead! The one who errs will be the one who grieves!”
