to the fact that if he ever needed any
iron, or any repa irs, or in fact any
thing timer can make, Streets is
| the place to get it.
Due notice was taken of the silver
ware, clocks, watches, cutlery and
seeds on sale in this store. Prices
were given and it is an assured fact
Nelly will be regular customer here
from now on.
.sAnd now," said Mr.. Benton, II am
going down the street to see my old
friend George /. Verbeck. He is the
leader in the mercantile trade and has
built up fine reputation and an ex-
tensive business. He is deSeryedly
popular and a man of rare business
capacity. He carries particularly
large stock of dry goods, notions,
boots and shoes and clothing. Each
department is complete even to the
minute details and hundreds of our
families in this section buy every
dollars worth of wearing apparel for
both sexes of Verbeck." The Strang-
erS accompanied their friend to this
establishment and they came to the
inevitable conclusion that the public
returned just verdict when, they
pronounced this store the popular low
priced Institution of the city. The
large line of shoes were duly examin-
ed by Nelly and an order placed for a
Goth Century pair together with Slip
pers for herself and Ralph.

zines," said Nelly, as they left Yer
beck's. ''Who is your newsdealer and
stationer?"
Their companion who had become
household as the strangers them
selves, escorted them to O. A. Cort-
rights book store. Everybody comes
here for anything in this line, he said.
The large variety he carries enables
him to suit every customer, and now

| You can't imagine the number OF
| things Nelly found in this superb eS-
/ adjustment that she absolutely must
have to commence housekeeping with,
and such supply as she laid in of sta
tionery, vases, crepe papers, ham,
mocks, etc. Mr.. Cortright showed
her the fine line of late style and de-
! sign wall papers, and Nelly who has
an eye for harmonizing effects
promptly made her selections of these
goods. She also left her order for cur
tains for each window of the home
soon to be erected.
While standing in the doorway of
the book store a well-known farmer
passed down the street with finely
built driving animal. Ralph asked
the price of such driving horses that
the bargain with the farmer was
quickly made and the cash turned
over.
The buying of the horse necessitat-
ed an acquaintance with a harness
dealer. Mr.. Benton conducted the
now enthusiastic Cuban to John In
genthron and introduced him with
the brief statement: "Ingenthrons is
an artist in horse decorations, and
employees none but skilled workmen.
Mr.. IngenthroH makes speciality of
repair work and keeps on hand at all
times a fine line of light and heavy
harness. As spring work opens far
mers needing pillow harness or repairs
of any kind will find Ingenthron al
ways ready to serve them.
