The yearly farce of working the
roads, has never been better illustrated
than this year; the roads have never
been in better condition than during
the past six months and could not be
improved upon except possibly by the
addition of gravel to make them more
solid, or the occasional filling in of a
hole; but now comes the time to "work
the roads, and for miles at a stretch
they are plowed up their entire width,
made rough and uneven, the rains MAX

they are almost impossible and will in
many cases continue so all summer

Not hint of a let-up.
The price-storm rises higher and
higher, and every day new things
are carried on the crest of the trade
wave. The never-ending flow rushes
in and out. Everywhere freshets
burst out and swell the stream of
business. that skips lively along the
banks of merchandise. The water
mark of sales is higher and higher
as days spin onward, and as the
new methods of merchandising
broaden into the gulf of self-inter-
est.
The store of to-day is pre-emi-
nently the store of people, without
the -trade-regulation grooved
into habits or fossilized, and beyond
the influence of change or progress.
1t is and is becoming more and
more the trading place of the
masses. 1t is the cheapest trading
place IN Milwaukee, and equals any
in the land
1t is neither mercenary, nor sefsh,
nor narrow. 1t has broad-guaged
ideas and an ambition to become
broader. 1t goes out to everybody
in its own original way, with plain
words and palmer truths; sets forth
in way, as interesting as possible,
the doings which bring it the great
bulk of the city trade. 1t is too
generous to notice the sickly plead
ings of aping weaklings; too inter-
ested, busy with its own creative
methods, to decimate it's popularity
by weakening in it's money-saving
ways.
It is of all the stores the store to
trade with.
