ever since you told me about them three
years ago, would not go anywhere else to
buy clothing. 1t is just as you told me,

doubted it first, because the price was too
low. Say, Mike, how do those fellows get
their clothing to sell at those prices? Snyder

No, Fisk, Snyder won't steal, lie or cheat,
but somehow he always has the money to
pay cash for his clothing. and you know
cash is good buyer, and then they are sat
isied with small profit. Big sales and
small profits is their motto. Bye, bye, old
fellow, will meet you around at Snyder's

tains more fine and fertile farms than any
other township in the county, but the farm
