The addressee does not need these
operas and safety wedges Immediately /
and therefore offers to let the readers !
of The Republican into this profitable |
Geld for Investment. He particularly |
calls attention to that ''other bust /
ness" the safety wedge. He is afraid
from the ladys earnestness of manner |
in writing about it that she considers /
the deal almost closed and is liable to
forward the wedge to Phoenix |
with a $50 freight bill attach
ed. He has wired her to hold
it for a day or two until he can
make a turn. AS soon as he can get
the safety wedge disposed of he will
direct attention to the operas and
plays. The tragedy ought to be worth
the money, and the opera Shut Down
the Bar" must appeal to those VINO
have ears for music, Notwithstanding
the distance between Phoenix and
Port Byron. The price is all right,
10000. The opera alone is worth
he price, the author says. and since
she made it she knows what it is COM
posed of. No fault can be found with
he terms of payment, $1,000 down and
4 900 at intervals between acts. y
particular merit OF these plays is that
hey were never written before. They
ire therefore fresh and NOS shelf worn.
The safety wedge must not be con-
ounded with limitations. This one
vas invented by the inventor.
Foot ball players need not reply t.
his advertisement. The safety wedge
3 not. as they might suppose, a de-
ice to combat the offensive flying
wedge or the murderOus revolving
wedge.
