I've often heard that is the best made,

exacted was that she wouldn't wear

the Roanoke Cycle Co.'s. Mr.. Flippo
sold her the coveted "Waverly" The
Old man explained that the Roanoke
Cycle Co. would give lessons in riding
free of charge to either ladies or gentle
men, whether they bought wheels or
not, at their riding school-the entire

house, whore they have ample accom-
mediation and competent instruc tors.
'Oh, say. Uncle" exclaimed Polly,

from one OF the most popular establish
ments in the city, will direct you to
Watt, Rettew e. Clay, who carry q stock
OF goods that for variety and real value
Ia seldom seen outside the largest

latest weaves IN fashionable dress
goods and you are sure to be guided
right in your selections. You will find
George MacBain, the manager, pleasant
to deal with and his employees polite
and expert, while the prices cannot be
duplicated" All the ladies will agree
that Uncle Josh knew just about what
he was talking about.
Woman like, Polly was discussing the
n q
new house and was interrupted by Uncle
| Josh, "These house-6xings remind
me-" said the old gentleman, THAT you
havn't got your carpets yet. The most
famous stock in extent, quality and
completeness is at w. f. Baker CARPET
Co. g." But the average reader need not
be told what Polly had to select from,
for there isn't, positively, a thing in the
| line OF Brussels, lngrains and mattings
that cannot be found at the Baker Car
| pet Co. in indefinite variety and won
derfully low figures. They also have a
splendid stock of wall paper of every
| design. Polly's order suggested her
| thorough appreciation.
Now, II there is one thing more than
another thatI do enjoy, remarked
Unce Josh, at is an extra good cur Of
| coffee or tea. Fortunately, Roanoke
| supports one of C. D. Kenny's exclusive
tea stores. Buying for thirty large tea
stores, Mr.. Kenny can give his custo-
mers the very finest teas, coffees and
| sugars grown in the world and at prices
below all competition. Right down
here at No ~ Salem avenue is the
| place. Well step in and meet Mr.. w,
j. Hauser, the agreeable mansger. He
can tell you moro about the tea busi-
| ness in minute than l could in week.

might have been policy not to have ex-

trade at this store, for Polly found

Charley invested in gents fine shoes,
while Uncle Josh INDUCED in stout

resist the bargains offered by the Roa-

At this point Uncle Josh suggested
resort to some place OF refreshment.
