A Wonderful Institution.

There is an institution in this coun-
try whose history Of remarkable
growth must be Of interest to those
acquainted with it. Within a few
short years it has grown from very
small beginning to one of the first ir-
stitutions of the land. Selling goods
as it does direct from the m4nuiactu-
rer to the consumer on an economic,
one small profit plan, its business has
enlarged until it now occupies one of
the largest business blocks in Chicago
and employs between 400 and 500 peo
people. It's entire establishment is
devoted to out-oi-town mail order
trade. Its wonderful growth is evi-
dence of its sterling integrity, extraor-
dinary ability and unquestioned f.
nancisl standing. In fact, we are in
receipt of letter from the National
Bank of Illinois, of Chicago, one OF
the largest and most reliable financial
Institutions in Chicago, q concern
with capital of $2,000,0O0; also a let.
ter from the National Bank OF the Re.
public, OF Chicago, one of the sound
eat financial institutions in Illinois,
with capital of $1,000,000, wherein
they say that they are personally &C.
quainted with the stockholders, that
the institution is reputable and thor
oughly responsible, and that thorough
confidence can be had in any repre-
sentations it makes. In fact we arc
in receipt of indisputable evidence as
to the reliability OF this institution,
and we feel safe in saying that our
readers can place implicit confidence
in this house, and that they will re-
ceiYe the same prompt, careful and
courteous treatment the members
would like to receive were they in
your place.
The wonderful facilities OF this in.
stitution for supplying merchandise
at manufacturers' prices is certainly
of great interest to all economic buy
ers.

Bob Taylor is born leader and is

principles of the democratic party.

detrimental to the democratic party.
Therefore, no faction should be ig-
nored, but on the contrary, all should
be consulted in determining the party

btrary methods should be employed
by the majority, but free and frank
