Every buggy sold by agents has several
dollars added to the manufacturers price.
We are manufacturers, and have no agents.
For twenty years have dealt with the con
sumer. We snip anywhere, with the pri-
vilege of examining before buying. We
pay freight charges both ways. if not sat
isfactory. Warrant everything for two
years. Anyone who can write can order
buggy or harness from us as we'll as pay
from $40 to $50 for some middle man to
order it for them. We give no credit, and
have one price only. Why do you pay
two profits on your carriages and harness? ?
Why do you pay some one $40 to $50 for
ordering these things, when You can do it
and save this money? You run no risk.
We let you see the goods before you ac-
cept them. We pay all the freight if we
fail to suit. Over twenty years ago we
commenced to sell in this way, and would
not be in business now if we had not suited.

The new secretary of agriculture is some
thing Of hayseed himself. He is quoted
as saying recently:
II can shuck more corn in given time
than any man pest of the Missouri river.
take eight rows at a time, and think moth
ing OF husklng 200 bushels in day when
when the weather is propit us. G. H. Van
Wyck, formerly United States senator, is a
neighbor of mine, and. while we are not
on the best of terms, cheerfully admit
that Van is daisy IN the corn field. We
he'd match a couple of years ago, the
prize being big sorrel colt, and I beat
him badly, shucking 400 bushels in six
hours to his 22O bushels" That fellow can
beat the Dakota Liar. The department
of agriculture has the champion.

There have lately been placed upon the
market several cheap reprints of an obso-
lete edition of "Webster's Dictionary"
These books are given various names,
"Webster's Unabridged" ""The Great Web
ster's Dictionary" "Webster's Big Diction-
ary," 'Webster's Encyclopedia Dictiona-
ry," ETC., etc.
Many announcements concerning them
are misleading. The Webster reprint por-
tion of each from A to z is the same
forty-four years behind the times, and
printed from plates made by photograph
ing the old pages.
The old book has been padded out by
various additions culled from various sour
ces, but the body is the same that was
published when Polk was president and
duly buried at the incoming of Lincoln.
The Webster, current from, Lincoln to
Harrison. is the popular copyrighted "Un.
abridged" which has just been superseded
by Webster's international Dictionary
