mo. ..

| We told you in the early spring how we
had begun and carried on our business for
nine years; also why We had located at But
Ter. And lastly, We told you Of our success
in business. Now We are going to tell You
something that will be especially interest
ing to you if you want a vehicle of any kind
or a set of good harness for n very low
price The winter is approaching and we
are selling lots of work, yet we find that
unless we sell at least one hundred buggies
spring wagons, buckwagons, &c, during
the next month, we will not have room
enough for our large stock of sleighs, &c,
that we have coming on, and will have to
let something stand out in the weather.
This wont do 1t would damage the work
and cause Us great loss as well as annoy
ance Therefore we have decided to stand
the loss by giving it to our fellow-citiZens
instead of the weather. Now listen; don't
misunderstood us; We mean it; we never
lie if we know it; listen carefully: From
now until November Is we will sell any
thing we have in the buggy, spring wagon
buckwagon, and harness line at prices away
below what either we or anyone else can
afford We don't like to do this, but its
AODhluS CHOICE WIFI uS-tllntI sell lltll
cheap or let them stand ont in the storm.
We prefer to do what Will most benefit our
fellow citizens, for we are going to stay
here, and whatever helps our fellow men
will in the end help us. Now don't forget.
This is only for the next 80 days-till No
vember l5-for to make such prices any
longer would mean bankruptcy in six
months. we have always sold cheaper
than anyone else, but the prices we are
making now almost make us sick. But
come along. Keep us company whether
You want to buy or not. We don't want
any time to think over our losses Its got
to be done, and we go to this trouble and
expense to give all fair chance without
any distinction on account of race, color or
creed. We have every kind of work from
the cheapest to the very best. Come and
see. We have over 5000 square feet of
floor packed solid with all kinds of work
Come along and get the bargains, for we
wonld rather give it to you than run the
work out in the weather It's one way or
the other. Take your choice. We have
everything in the Cart, Harness, Robe and
Blanket line.

IMPORTANT
TO BUYERS OF FALL AND
WINTER FOOTWEAR
TO GO TO
S
If you want good goods and get just
what you pay for, for
several reasons:

FIRST. The stock is three times
as large to select from as any other

SECOND. Each and every custom
er is told just what the goods are
made of and the same price to every
one be they rich or poor.
Some stores size the customer mp
as be enters their door and mans the
price on the boot or shoe accordingly,
if you are a judge Of boots and shoes
you may get even, but the chances
are ten to one against you, of having
!, bay an extra half dollar on your
shoes that the fellow that just went
out as you came in got off his pur-
chase to even up things (as you see)
they say.
THIRD. We buy direct from the
the manufacturer, others buy from
jobbers or middlemen, we save You
this profit other dealers pay to the
jobber, that extra money we give to
our customers in solid leather, style
and the lowest price that can be
named

trade is increasing all the time all
over the county. Our reputation for
