There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping Of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words-only v0ras.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back Of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"
DR.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money
back if the result isn't ap-
parent.
Doesn't it strike you that

have so much confidence in,

FRUIT DRYING AND FRUIT DRYERS
| come before you more in the in.
terest of fruit dryers than in the
raising of fruit as l am not fruit
grower. But | have taken a good
deal of notice and interest in the
drying of fruits and years ago here
in Salem | was engaged in business
that required the handling of both
green and dry fruit, and l often
found the dry to he burned OF
smoked and consequently bitter to
the taste and Of poor flavor when
cooked. | often thought of some
way to construct dryer that would
do the work better and also one
that the farmer could afford to buy
for his own use at home, one that
would be free from burning the fruit
and also the danger OF burning his
house. But / could not see my way
how TO make such a dryer, aud use
any of the hot air methods, so as tc
bring it within the reach of persons
with small orchards i'm the matter OF
cost, or avoid the matter of burning
or smoking the fruit. And so the
years went by and no dryer can't
that filled my idea of what ought tC
be in that line Well, some six year:
ago while at the state fair held here
at Salem, | saw what was called q

the idea OF u steam fruit dryer, and

your honorable body will bear with
me while | give said reasons;
My first reason is that il does the
work better than any other dryer
aud especially any hot air dryer.
My second reason is that il dryes

that it is easier attended and less ex-
