And the first thing you should know
is. If the firm from whom you are buy
ing is responsible financially" and
have they such a reputation that you
can depend upon being hOnorably
treated. and promptly served have
they the mechanical ability to do your
work in a first class trorkmanlike man
ner.
IL is just throwing money away to
pay for good material and then not have
1t worked in the proper manner.
1t is an utter impOssibility to buy
any article at lower price than that at
| which the best is sold, without getting
something inferior In quality.
1t is just as impossible to get the best
'cork done at price lower than a thor
ough mechanic can afford to do it.
The best is the cheapest in the end.
no matter what the first cost.
Remember that experiments are dan.
gerous and expensive. Why should
you allow any one to experiment at
your expense, when you can have a sure
result for about the same cost?
We do not experiment at tho expense
OF our customers if we experiment it
is at our expense and if the results
prove satisfactory we give you the bene-
fits of them.
In dealing with us you are ALWAYS
sure of getting the best why? Be.
cause, we are financially responsible
for any contract we make, and, there
fore, compelled to give you just what
you contract for. Because we have a
reputation to maintain, and cannot af-
FORD to lose your good will and patron
age. Because, we keep posted as to
what the markets are doing, and make
IL part or our business to know where

agents or some large establishment.
when In fact they have no connection
Whatever with any house, for it is well
known that responsible houses do not do
business in this way. but sell only to re-

Now, these so-called agents will come
to you and, by smooth talking, sell Won
something which they know is not what
they represent it to be, and so, you find
out when it is too late and they are
gone, and II you complain to the manu-
1acturer (maDy of them are lust like
these so-called agents) they will tell
you that they are not responsible for
what their customers do, and you have
no recourse.
Now, don't you think it is about time
you should look to your own interests
and stop buying from these unscrupu-
Ions parties, and resolve to patronize
only such dealers as you know to he re-.
sponsihle, and by so doing drive the slick
tohgued gentlemen out of the country.
Tor you buyers alone have the power to
pnt down this class of robbery.
Now, while we expect to see and talk
with many of you during this
season, still we will not be able to see
you all, but will talk to all who will read
the papers of this and the adjoining
counties.
We will have much to talk about. and
VIII have something to interest every
one.
Watch these subjects close.
Pumps, plumbing, timing, roofing.
hydraulics, mill supplies, machine re.
pairs, bicycles, engines and general re-
pairing.

YOU and glad to answer your questions.
