An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP or FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid Taxa.
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system elfectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

being the Great Eastern, which laid the
Atlantic cable, which was $50 feet in
length. The Oceanic was build at the
great ship building yards at Belfast 1t

There is no question that the conduct
Of our grocery department has met the
popular approval. We are more than
satisfied with the patronage we have re-
ceived thus far, and hope by our busi-
ness methods to meet still further ap-
proval.
But we are not giving gold dollars
away for ninety cents or our goods for
nothing, but we are dividing the profits
with our trade. The people seem to
appreciate, by the manner in which
they have bought goods the past week
that we want to live and let live.
There may be some few things which
We have not got in our stock at the
present time, but as we are constantly
increasing our immense stock you will
soon find everything you need in our
big store.
We want you to remember that we
have not abated our ability to be first in
the hardware trade in this city. We
are selling hardware cheaper than we
have ever sold it before and we want at
least share OF your trade. We have
the goods and under our new cash sys-
