BuggieS,N Buggies.

We have been so busy selling
buggies that we haven't had time to
even write TO the people about them.
We sold the last car of buggies we
got in in less than ten days; this is a
record breaker for Butler, and the
reason of this is, the people have
never had a chance to buy a first
class buggy at a reasonable price
until we commenced to handle them
This you can easily decide is true by
noticing the condition the larger
portion of buggies in Bates county
are in that have only been used
from six to twelve months. We will
have in to morrow a ear load of 80
buggies Of Sayers Il Scoyil goods;
these are the buggies that took the
Gold Medal at the Worlds Fair on
the young mans buggy. Now, you
can buy these buggIes from Us as
cheap almost as you can buy the
shoddy goods, as We intend to make
a close price on them to see in how
short a time we can sell the car
load. For goodness sake, your own
sake and your sweetheGrt's sake,
don't buy buggy until you have
seen ours; then if your judgment
don't tell you to buy ours. We have
nothing more to say.

This article we cannot say enough

is as much difference between a Hum
mer pillow and any other plow made,
as there is between white and black.
Will let any responsible man, take a
Hummer pillow out and use it one
day without any settlement for it, if
he finds it the finest thing he ever
used, come in and settle. if not, re-
turn it. Any seven or eight year
old boy con use it.
