real value is seldom seen outside the
largest metropolitan cities They carry
all the latest weaves in fashionable dress
goods and a fine line OF general dry
goods, and you are sure to be guided
right in your selections. You will lind
them pleasant to deal with, and the
employees polite and expert, while their

"And as you are in decided need OF
dress suit said Uncle Josh to Charles,
"a regular swell Sunday-go-to-meeting
finish, you know, very happily, can suit
you as well as though you were in some
big eastern city We've got frst-class
tailor in st. Johnsbury in my old friend,
E. c. Brooks. Charles was indeed
pleased to find that he could make selec-
tons for full dress suit from stock OF
as elegant goods as could be found in the
eastern shops, and was soon convinced
that they were masters of their art.
The gentlemen remained awayjust long
enough to let Polly commence thinking
OF a new hat, and on their return she

Uncle Josh, land we will visit E. {.
Pierce & Co., who, by the way have on
hand a nice line OF hats and bonnets and
one of the complctest stocks OF millinery
to be found in the town Youcan get just
what you want there, The latest styles
and lowest prices being her motto. She
has that experience which guarantees
that when you have once purchased OF
her you have the proper thing at the
lowest possible price And few hours
later there was never a happier lady than
Polly.
While in the millinery store Polly began
TO think seriously of her household duties
and remarked, "Uncle, am not going to
kill myself over wash tub so please tell
us OF good laundry" Here was Uncle
Josh's opportunity to recommend the st.
: Johnsbury steam laundry Emery Broth
ers, proprietors. and he did so in the
} warmest terms. This laundry" said
he, "makes speciality oigentlemens fine
: laundry, and prides itsefupon being able
to satisfy the most particular customer
r while the prices are way down"
t "Oh!" exclaimed Polly, as they halted
: before show window, what a perfectly
+ lovely slipper" Yes" said Uncle JOSH
D &C. 6. Braley's boot and shoe stock can't
: be equaled in style or extent in this Sec
t ton; come in and look it over" 1t might
have been policy not to have extended
t that invitation, had not Uncle Josh
d known bow wise economy it is to trade
: at Braley's store, Tor Polly found prices
e so seductive that she purchased an outfit
o from satin slipper to handsome walk
e ing boot. Charles invested in a gents
$ fine shoe, while Uncle Josh INDUCED in a
d pair of rubber boots. No one needing
r footwear can resist the styles and prices
at Bralev's.
"And as you will have frequent trips to
d make when you haven't time to get a
y horse ready" he continued, 1T would be
2 well to call on Boynton & Eastman and
IS get bicycle. They carry nearly all
n kinds, and you can get one at any price
a you want to pay. Polly ought to have
d one, for there is no more healthiul exer.
ot else than they can furnish. There is q
a large number of wheels in st. Johnsbury

IL most OF them. They are also reliable
