IS, 1897:
There is nc name on earth so dear,
No name that sounds 80 sweet;
Little Tommy, we loved thee well,
Thy life is now complete.
No other am will touch his mothers
heart,
Or start the hidden tear
Like little Tommy who has passed away
And was held by his mother so dear.
The little darling has gone to be with
God,
Has entered into rest,
And h we weep and mourn for him
We know Gods will is best.
Indeed his crown is surely won,
And just a few days more
Will bring their glad reunion
On yon bright golden shore.

Silks.

The other days lady was in
our. store and noticing some
Silks on our counter, she said
with surprise that she didn't
know that WE kept such nice
Silks. Said she wanted a dress
but had intended sending to
Chicago because she supposed
she couldn't buy as cheap here.
a great many people around
here think they have to send
away for silk. They think as
this lady did, that we don't have
them, or if we do, that we
charge more. This is not true.
We feel certain that you a
buy from us just as cheap as
you can in Des Moines or Chi
cago.
Bring the samples along when
you and compare them. If
we are higher then we don't ask
you to buy. We are trying to
place before you, right here in
Audubon, a stock of Silks equal
in every respect to Des Moines.
With a little encouragement we
will do it. But if you insist on
sending away and not even
looking ut our goods, then of
course we cannot. Look at
our goods first. Compare quail
ity. and price with the big
stores. If we don't have what
you want let US send for you.
If we charge more, don't buy.
