KLINGLERS' COLUMN.
Outside VS. Home Mills.

The Public Sustain KlInglers.
We patiently looked on for a number of
years, how Western Flour and Feed were
shipped into Butler, to the great injury of
our farmers, our wage-earners and our
millers. 1t was taking our labor and our
money, and sending it out West Finally,
We conceived the idea of contestlng for this
trade. A bold step it was, on our part,
practically exclusively wholesale concern,
TO appeal directly tc the consumer. How
ever, We knew We were right, and we start
ed out with the well-heeded advice:
"GET "A CARD AND SAVE YOUR MONEY"
1t was fair, open, honest proposition:
Get "a card aud we give you wholesale
prices. Whyl Because we want you to
buy your own towns manufactures, in
preference to that made by outsiders.
What noise il madel The air
was filled with imprecations, mis-
representations and dlrepropheeies con-
cerning US. Yes, some Western mill
ers even cut Their prices, FOR A WHILE,
10 their agents uere, and resorted to all
kinds of petty tricks, Just anything" as
they put it, ito hurt Klnglers."
What did our card" plan effect, in spite
of all oppositionl 1t ushered in
AN ERA OF Low PRICES.
We brought down Flour one dollar per
barrel, Feed three to four dollars per ton,
etc, etc. We put prices on home products,
warranted absolutely pure, SO that the con-
sumer preferred them to the Western
goods, which were, he did not know what.
We always made good our advertisements.
We never offered some articles at low
price, and then were Just out" when the
buyer came TO purchase. We never gave

We never sold cheap TO one customer, and
then tackled the loss on the next purchaS
er's bill. We never cut the price on few
articles and made it up, on other goods.
We sold everything at our uniformly low
wholesale prices, To ALL ALIKE, and the
contest has been decided overwhelmingly
in our favor. The,people have sustained us
beyond all expectation. We have sent
more goods into the homes of Butler con
sumer's in 1898, than we did in all the four
years previous Trade has come to Us from
all directions, and people have designated
ours as "that cheap place 10 buy" Millers
and prominent men from all parts OF the
United States have congratulated US on
our success in an honest effort to push
h"me industries by home patronage.
What do we sell
FLOUR, GENUINE FLOUR.
Nu duulltIaltu nluIlf llhc lUdL WHICH
poisoned family, and of,which We published
the analysis some time ago. Dr. Talmage,
speaking of aduterations in four and gro
ceries, said, recently: at is amazing that
there is any good health left after the sys-
temized and almost universal poisoning
process" We warrant our Flour absolute
~ pure, and the price is lower than any
where, because we sell you at dealers
cost prices. Just ponder, we are selling
FLOUR AT so CENTS PER SACK.
and lots of it too, but don't imagine it
makes good bread. Like all the so-called
cheap Flours, it is only good for pancakes
or something like that, but if used for
bread it is nowhere compared with our
SNOW DRIFT FLOUR.
Bake a sack of Snow Drift and then bake
a sack Of cheap flour (so-called) and CON-
pare quantity and quality of the bread,
and you will see at once which is the cheap
est.
SILVER FOAM FLOUR
needs no explanation 1t stands for the
Highest in Flour everywhere.
We also sell
WINFIELD NO. j DAIRY SALT.
at seventy cents for $50 pounds. This salt
is warranted absolutely pure, the strongest
and best tor dairy, table or any use. Take
your Pittsbnrg papers and you will see it
quoted at 81 per barrel, while coarse, com
mon salt is quoted at 60 cents. Even if
be common, coarse salt were sold at 25
cents per barrel, that would not improve
its quality. 1t would be common, coarse
salt still. An inferior thing is inferior no
matter about the price.
We make
a SPECIALITY or ALL KINDS OF SEEDS,
and sell nine-tenths of the seeds sold in
Butler. We buy by the car load direct
from first hands, are situated right on the
line of all the railroads, have reduced the
expense of handling to the minimum, and
don't expect to make a days wages selling
bnshel of seed. We have large line OF
all descriptions.
We carry
AN IMMENSE STOCK OF FEED AND GRAIN,
and can give you from hundred pounds
TO car load of any kind with the excep-
tion Of Bran and Buckwheat Middlings, on
which we might not always be able to fill
orders, as we are often sold ahead Of our
capacity.
We desire to thank our many fcard"
customers and others for their generous
patronage during the past year, and we
take this occasion to wfeh you all
GLAD NEW YEAR,
and to pledge you our best efforts for the
coming days Of a.
We would yet add:
It's not so hard,
Nor is it funny,
To get "card,"
And save your money.
