Our present price for gas is believed to be
lower than that of any city of ssize similarly
situated in this country, and the only way In
which this low price can be maintained is by
prompt collection Of bills and the consequent
avoidance OF bad debts. With this object in
view we ask the cooperation Of our patrons,

also that while the prices have lowered the

A Hundred Tons of Money.

1t hardly seems possible that the money
paid In one month for ten-cent article
could, If pennies were used In payment,
weigh one hundred tone. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this
the stocks OF our dealers In dye stuffs,
Diamond Dyes own the field of package
dyes, and are complete success. Of
course they have imitators. Nothing
is success until initiated" But no one
wants to risk a counterfeit when the
genuine can be obtained at the same
price. Three new colors have lately been
added TO the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast
Stocking Black, Turkey Red for Cotton,
and Brown for Cotton. The manufactur-
ers, Wells, Richardson g. Co. Burlington,
Vt, will send colored samples of these
new dyes, with book of directions to any
address, free of charge. These additions
seem to have made the line so complete
that any shade can be matched with some
color Of Diamond Dyes. The beautiful
sample book of shaded colors, lately sent
to all dealers in dyes, will delight the
eye of any lady. '1ts easy to dye with
Diamond Dyes" is so absolutely true
that home dyeiDR is no longer difficult
and disagreeable task. Almsnscs, with
their hints as to proper times with differ
ent work, tell us that now is the time for
Spring dyeing. This, together with the
thought OF that hundred tons of money,
leads us 10 ask what school boy can figure
how many thousands OF ladies are now
saying that this is the time to use Dia-
moud Dyes.
