THE LETTER FOUND,
MARY WRITES HER OLD MAN WHAT'S
GOING ON IN TOWN.

EDENToS, y. G.. Oct J, 50.
My DEAR HUsBAND:-I am sorry
to disappoint you by no, coming
home with our Willie in the buggy
as you expected. and hope I have
caused YOU no inconvenience by not
doing so.
John. the reason Remained is that
| could not begin to carry all OF my
bundles and, knowing that YOU would
have TO come TO town SATURDAY., |
thought l had just as we'll remain
and go home with you and have one
of the boys bring the cart and carry
our bundles home.
John, | know Won viii be surprised
] when YOU see how many goods have
bought with the 5000 y on gave me.
Really | don't think We Wi; have TO
buy any more dry goods tins winter
| had no idea that goods were SO
cheap until Cousin Polly showed me
Little Bob Mitchells Bee Hive Store.
Why, John, | have bought you real
fine pair of Sunday shoes at $I.25
that | know would have cost 81 s.
anywhere, and have bought myself
a lovely pair for which | paid only
80 cents. John, they are just like
these you paid s. 90 for last spring,
except that these have silk stitched
button hole.
John, do you remember that suit of
clothes you bought Willie last fall
and paid 81 50 for3 Well l have
bought one ior him exactly like it
from Little Bob Mitchell for 1927,
land It is EVERY BIT WOOL. 100.
l have also bought myself the
prettiest Henrietta Cloth Dress YOU
ever saw and only paid IS cents per
yard for it.
John, tell our dear Sue that have
bought for her dress of the most
beautiful piece of flannel suiting l
ever saw and only paid rs cents per
Yard for it; also bought Silk Plush
for trimmings at SO cents per yard,
from the Bee Hive, exactly like MIR.
Dusenbury charged me 800 per
ward tor
[ have bought for Sue a brown
Worsted at 10 cents per ward and a
black for myself at the same price.
l have bought boots and shoes for
both of the BOYS. The boots that
paid Little Bob $1.25 for were just
the same kind that sells elsewhere
for 81 90, and their Sunday shoe
only cost SO cts per pair and. John.
they are as fine and nice shoes as
anv boy need want.
Now. NV Dear Husband, you
must not think that | have forgotten
YOU for, indeed, | have not. To be
gin have bought you a nice pair of
| Z luCUCO Nl oil IllO ull0SA SIltlo 4OI
Slo that to lay them side by side
with those we bought in Norfolk last
fall for 80 you can't tell the difference.
l have also bought You a Sunday
suit of clothes, John, that | know
on will like, and only paid $500 for
it and it is EVERY BIT WOOL or | am
no Judge, and that is not probable as
one who has spun as much as | have
ought to know something about wool
John, l know You will think l am
Joking when | tell you that [ have
bought pair of 10 white wool
Blankets for every bed in the hou,e
and only paid 90 cts per pair for them.
The reason they were so cheap is,
John, because Little Bob Mitchell
bought them at auction while in New
York.
Another thing l like about the Bee
Hive Store is if anything don't suit
or fit you can carry it back, but, if all
are as we'll pleased with their bargains
as am they will never want their
money back.
will have to close for the present.
With love and kisses for all Of the
children and heart full for yourself,
l am as ever Your Loving Wife,
MARY TALITHIA CRANK.
