j. E Porter will this year rs usual handle
the famous Deeriug all steel twine binder
which has given such unlimited satisfactioH
to buyers in past seasons. .for lightness in
weight, for gracefulness of proportion, for
ease in handling and perfect balance, for
its unyielding and enduring strength and
rgidity, it has not and never has had a
rival. While it will outlast two common
machines, and costs much more to make, its
price is no higher, and it is worth three
wood frame binders.

Surprising

How many people are papering this year
and when they are asked how 1t comes
that they are able to do 1t, the invariable
answer Is, ooh! Forbes sells it so chear
that | couldn't resist the temptation.
Forbes never sold wall paper so cheap as
he sells 1t this season, and 1t isn't chear
appearing goods either. The styles are
better, the quality finer and the general
tone Is far above that Of proceeding years
at one-half the price paid last year for
inferior quality. Don't forget that his
stock is ever changing and that the paper
shown you one day is sold and replaced by
another pattern, so that If you are no,
suited In one trip, the second is sure to be
satisfactory.
