Eleven years ago ]. A. Mckenzie began the
clothing business in this city. He started in
with the resolve that his customers should have
fair play. TODD this he began the sale of hon
est goods at fair prices, and considerably left
shoddy and sensational clap-trap as unworthy
of a dealer who meant TO be just with his pat
rons. Mr.. Mckenzie has done well, and estab-
lished p business that no one can take away.

OF all the wind-mills that tore the air at the
State fair grounds the Eclipse certainly at
tracted the largest share of attention. The
Eclipse was the original and first solid wheel
mill patented, and it's inventor was thus able 20
choose the most direct and simple forms of con-
struetion. Others, in seeking to avoid the
E1pse patents, have had TO bOggle with extra
joints and pieces. The working parts of the
Eclipse are of wrought and malleabe iron; in
other mills, of cast iron. The Eclipse method of
manufacture adds somewhat to the cost, but
doubles the strength of the mill. The cost of
erection, pump and piping and other fixtures
is as much for a poor mill as for the Eclipse
save but a few dollars It's the best; it's self
regulating; possesses 10 per cent more power,
and stands so per cent. more strain than section
wheel mills. Fairbanks & Co., of Indianapolis,
ara agents for the Eclipse, and will send circu-
lars on application
