A Remarkable Result.

tried, 1t is now an established fact that
German Syrup is the only remedy which
has given complete satisfaction in Sc
we're cases of Lung Diseases. 1t is true
there are yet thousands of persons who
are predisposed to Throat and Lung
Affections, Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the
Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough,
&c, who have no personal knowledge of
Boshee's German Syrup. To such we
would say that 10000 dozen were sold
last year without one complaint. Con-
sumptives, try just one bottle. Regular
size, Is cents. Sold by all Druggists in
America. 12-45yl
After three years retirement from the agricult-
ural business, I have been asked by certain man
ufacturers of implements, to go into the business
of selling their goods ON commission.
After due consideration and with the advice of
friends, l have decided to accept their proposition,
and have again taken possession of the old WIG
WAN on Main street, where 1 may be found at all
reasonable business hours, ready and willing to
show such goods as are entrusted to me for sale.
l shall endeavor by square dealing to merit the
patronage of every man who comes to Independ-
ence for his farm machinery. l have no travelling
agents to canvass the county and urge you to buy
what you ought not to; you will not be bored in
this by me or men in my employ. l believe every
man knows what machine he needs and cannot well
do without in order to carry on his farming sue
cessfully- and knowing should come to town and
look over all the goods in the market and select
such as will best answer his purpose.
expect to keep only first class goods and shall
sell them as low as possible CONSTANT with the
true principles Of business. Having no expensive
help to pay, l shall be able to sell cheap and still
live. When in business (years ago. l had a mum
Der of sub-agents and men employed by the month
IN consequence Of which a large amount of ma
chinery was exchanged for farmers notes which
never has and never will be paid. Inow find my
self in possession OF thousands Of dollars in
armers' worthless paper, with an unpaid debt
much too large for my ability to discharge, and
this my reward for a 20 years business struggle.
1t is but the natural and almost inevitable result
of forced sales through sub-agents and employees
whose main object is to make large sales and who
always manage to secure their commission and
draw their wages with a regularity that would
astonish the Oldest man.
am now only an agent in trust to exchange
machinery for cash and such farmers paper as
will be paid and l should betray the trust were
to accept other. l will warrant every machine tc
be as recommended or no sale. l invite all tt
| call at the wig wan and examine my goods ant
prices. If you like them and actually need them
buy them. When not using them house them ant
pay for them when you agree to, and you viii
please yourself, please the manufacturer and las
but not least please me.
There are seven golden rules for business, which
il closely followed, will bring success and happi
ness. l shall try and practice them:
l.. Sell all goods rs cheap as possible, for cash
2. Sell to no one Oh time who will not Civ
good paper.
8. Poor paper is worse than nothing; bette
give your goods wa at once than exchange then
for poor paper.
a. Sell nothing but frst-class goods, such a
you can conscientiously recommend.
5. Be as willing to take back goods that fail t.
fill the warranty as you are to sell them, and al
ways refund the pay for them.
6. Always try and give every man value receiy
ed in every article you sell him.
Z. Require all to whom you give credit to NEE
their promises promptly when due.

EXTRAS.
take this as the most favorable opportunity t
early inform my friends that extras will be sol
for cash on delivery. trust my friends will nc
ask what l cannot grant, credit for extras. I ca
easily refuse credit for extras to all save my Of
and valued friends, and l do hope they will say
me the very unpleasant task Of refusing thel
! extras on credit. RANSOM BARTLE.
