The long and the short of it
is, that when I advertise a
"Summer Closing Out Sale, "
my customers know just what to
expect. They know that in
every day business life that my
prices are below those of my fel-
low merchants, and when it
comes to ''my regular summer
closing out sale" " my fellow mer-
chants who try to compete, re-
mind me of the "Gold Demo
cratic bolters'' at Chicago. They
take the sulks, and set by the
wayside and say that Strauss is
fairly running the mercantile par
ty with no effort to maintain
parity They say that men who
undertake to do business on their
own account, and who adopt
so radical and such detrimental
business methods should not be
allowed to ride so roughshod
over the majority of Legitimate
business men. But Strauss
customers care not for such bab-
BILE and they swarm around their
standard bearer and scoop in the
bargains. One person said not
long ago that 'during his closing
out sale, Strauss lets his custom
ers run his business. About all
one has to do is to make an offer,
and the clerk reaches for the
paper and string !"

REEDER'S COLD JAPAN

rs an article that should have an extern
i sive sale in Yorkville and York coun-
ty. 1t is roofing paint for either iron,
tin or shingles and is giving the very best
satisfaction wherever used. 1t has been
on the market for five years and roofs
painted at the time it was first introduced
are all right today. 1t does not scale off
and does not crumble into powder as does
red lead. The length of time it will last
is not, of course, definitely known, but
experts estimate that one coat will re-
main intact and protect roof for not less
than 20 years. The manufacturers claim
that shingle roof painted with Cold
Japan will be rendered fire proof and we
have every reason to believe the claim is
correct
