Gotham stock to select from right over a

there Is reason in it. A claim without
reason carries no weight just study the

of our plant and our conveniences for do.
ing business. We own the buildings and
have no high rents to pay: Shipping facil-
tiles at this point are unexcelled and we
have no carriage either in receiving or send

under. Any man wi Ii half an eye can see

on consistent commission and this is not
what the city establishments are doing.

dozen to buy and then in the next breath
while you are intoxicated over this CSC
bargain, draw $15 commission out of
you on a rice sideboard or bookcase. but
some of the people are getting to the point
where they are no more misled by these
leaders than the old farmers hens were
when he successfully misled them for a
number of weeks by mixing fine saw dust
with their corn meal, but the day of re RI
button came at last when he set his favor

eggs and she promptly Matched him out
nine chickens with wooden legs, three
woodpecRers, and hair Tipped wood

"You can fool one hen all of the time and
all of the hens some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the hens all of the time"
Now we are furnishing up houses in all
parts of the state and we are doing it more
on the merits of the wares we are sending
out than by heavy advertising. We have
advertised as you must have noticed but
very little during the last two years, but
just now some of these editors and pub
fishers are fairly beside themselves with the
idea of actually owning nice fat turkey
for his Sunday dinner, just like the
rest of us, and we are paying them good
price for this little space just to help hold
them in the path of rectitude and honesty,
and head off any necessity for raid on
their neighbors turkey vines. Come and
look our stock over and see for yourself if
we cannot save you money over the In
ducements offered by any other concern in
the state.
