decided that DeHaven Bros. were the
artists to do their work, and | 80 o'clock
found the family in the studio. With
the pleasure of possessing new bicycle
shining in his face, even Tom, Jr., man
aged to "look pleasant" through what
was to him a disagreeable ordeal. The
operator pronounced the negative a fine
one Proofs were to be forwarded, and

TOM, IRIS, SHOES.
Tom Jr., had spent the forenoon with
much satisfaction to himself and not
without credit to his family He first
made sure of the new shoes suggested by
his father Young Toms tastes were for
the substantial as well as the ornamental.
He selected pair of SELF, Schwab q Co.'S
shoes at $500 such as he had heretofore
paid 800 for and worn on Sundays only.
He bought them of Showerman Bros.
His attention was attracted to a fine line
of ladies' shoes which he promised to
recommend to his mother and sisters

INSPECTS A MARKET.
Tom, Jr., critically inspected f. b.
| Ocobock's market from the outside
| Everything to be seen indicated cleanli-
ness. Then he went inside. His inspec-
ton here was satisfactory too. The
plump, yellow legged chickens, tender
looking steaks, we'll Drowned hams, etc,
and the white -aproned, clearly appearing
men in charge convinced Tom, Jr., that
the family could not go wrong in buying
their meats of f. b. Ocobock He has
an unuSHdily fine lot of meats and the
most delicious of oysters for Thanks
giving.
CHOOSES \ GROCER.
Tom Jr., adopted a novel plan by which
to choose a grocer. He went to j. G.
Warmers and waited to see if he would
be served in his turn. The show of
goods outside and inside the store was
large and attractive, and included all
kinds of staple and fancy groceries,
foreign and domestic fruits, etc. A mum
Der of people were ahead of him. and
others entered after him. Much toTom,
Jr's surprise and qualification, when his
turn came he was courteously asked how
he could be served. He found that Mr..
Warner sold a pure Mocha and Java
such as his father liked, and an uncolored
Japan tea at SOC, which his mother always
drank. He bought some bananas and
went away convinced that firm which
recognized the rights of boy would be
equally conscientious in selling goods.
j. G.. Warner will furnish the Joneses
with groceries.
NEXT TO GOODNESS.
Tom, Jr., recommended the Model
Steam Laundry for family and individual
washings. They use nothing at that
laundry that will injure the fabric, and
their work is delivered promptly on time.
They make a specially of fine work, in
Guiding lace curtains, ladies' shirt waists
and collars and cuffs, and their charges
are moderate.
