A Plain Statement.

Many years ago I started in business
with the firm conviction that the way
to success should lead a man to buy
the best goods in his line which the
markets afforded, and to sell them at
the least possible price. To deal
squarely with all, resolved to adhere
strictly to this conviction in all cases,
and never have had reason to regret it..
This year, as in the past, will have
on hand the largest and best stock in
Southern Minnesota, all of which I
will sell at rock bottom prices, for
cash or on time, including such we'll
and favorably known goods as the
Standard full line of Planters, Check
Rowers, Cultivators, and four to seven
foot cut Mowers, all of which have no
superior on earth; the full line of
Deere Planters, Deere Plows, Culti-
vators, Disc Harrows, ETC.; the Michi-
gan Buggy Co.'S. full line of fine Bug
gies, Phaetons, and Surreys, all OF
which are fully warranted; the best
grade of Racine Buggies and Wagons:
the Mandt Wagons and other Wagons;
the celebrated Northwestern. Wagons
and Buggies, and the Halladay Wind
Mills and Pumps, admitted and &C:
knowledged by millions to be the best
wind mill on earth. My own expert:
ence in the gales of last spring which
destroyed SO many other wind mills
but did not take a fan out of two
hundred and forty which I have put
up, confirms my belief that they have
no equal. I sell also the Eclipse and
Aermoter mills and cheapermills, anc
the old reliab Plano Binder, which
runs lighter, lasts longer and needs
less repairs than any other machine
made. This is no idle assertion, but
can be fully proven. I also sell the
Huber and Rumely Threshers anl
Engines, which will make their mari
in this vicinity in 1898. Don't fail tx
see me before buying.
