The Sweetest Christmas Story Ever Told

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem Of Judea 10 the days Of Herod
the king, behold, there came wise men from the East TO Jerusalem.
Saying, Where is nc that is born king Of the Jews Tor we have seen
his star in the east and have come to worship him.
When Herod the king had heard these things he was troubled and all
Jerusalem with him.
And Herod, when he had priyiy called the wise men, inquired OF
them diligently what time the star appeared.
And be sent them to Bethlehem and said, Go search diligently for
the young child, and when ye have found him bring me word again, that
/ may come and worship him alone.
When they had heard the king they departed and, 10, the star which
they saw in the East till it came and stood over where the young child
was
And when they were come into the house they saw the young child,
with Mary his mother, and fell acwr and worshiped him: and when
they had opened their treasures they presented unto him gifts, gold,
frankincense and myTrh.
And being warned of God lin a dream that they should not return to
Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel Of the Lord appear
eth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt and be thou there until bring thee word;
for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
When he arose, he took the young child and his motherb by night, and
departed into Egypt.

Of our business-four Of them conduct
ed under the credit system.
When we decided, on Jan. /, 1900,
to enter upon a cash system Of business
many predicted that we were taking
the wrong step. We have disproved
their predictions and not only made a
better business for ourselves, but have
made new and staunch friends by the
system.
The benefit which We have extended
to our customers are too apparent to
need explanation, but will say that
our customers have been given better
goods at closer prices than ever be-
fore.
Our line Of standard vehicles, farm
ing implements and other accessories
to the hardware business is too well
known to need notice here, suffice it to
say that we keep the very best at
reasonable margins, and we guarantee
nearly every thing which goes from
our store.
In closing we wish to thank all Of
our customers for past favors and to
solicit the patronage of Others.
Try US and you win be satisfied II
