DOING FINE BUSINESS.
National Fence Machine Company
Qays Another Dividend

rays Another Dividend
General Manager Charles Kubach
who has just returned from less than
a months stay in Great Bend had
good news for the National Fence
Machine Company on his arrival. At
a meeting of the board of directors a
dividend OF $lS a share was paid to
the stockholders. The previous
months dividend was 1922 a share.
There are even in these days Of pros
perity. few institutions that can pay
a dividend every month but the
National Fence Machine company is
one OF them. 1t results from the
fact that 1t has a machine that is
recognized as valuable thing and
that every farmer needs. Then its
substantial backing Of solid business
men and its capable management
under Mr. Kubach's guidance make a
flourishing and growing institution
that ranks among the most success
full in the State.

The Surprise Of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill.,, in
speaking of DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry, says that last winter his wife
was attacked with La Grippe, and her
case grew so serious that physicians
at Cowden and Pana could do nothing
for her. 1t seemed to develop into
Hasty Consumption. Having DR..
Kings New Discovery in store, and
selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she
began to get better from the first
dose, and half a dozen dollar bottles
cured her sound and well. DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do
this good work. Try it. Free trial
