State-will make Il note OF this.
The business man who refuses to adver-

the best way to catch him is to advertise
cheap goods. Ii you have bargains to

little girl has Just arrived at his home

Sledge, nor one who is more deserving Of
the best things this life can afford, and
we sincerely rejoice that his cup of bliss is
so surely filling.

it Il point to do business with those who
advertise in the GOLD LEAF-and take
occasion to let them know that you saw
their advertisement in the paper wher
YOU call to see them. They show by Their
acts that they appreciate your trade
and are not ashamed to invite You tC
