THE ACTIVE MAN.

The ac,iye man is The successful
man He is always bright and
CHEEKY. pushing and energetic He
has emile. when BIS eree,s you and
not q fr,wn. tasks pleasantly and not
crabbidiy. He ;e no: snarler in his
home and c"mplainer among his
fellow men. He is the kind of man
you W. Mt to be with.
He always looks on the bright side
of life aud if things don't go to suit
him today he will make them go
right tomorrow, because he lie dilligent
and active. He is successful because
he works with his mind as we'll ss his
muscle. He studies things out and
works to an end and purpose. He
never goes at a thing haphazzardlv
but methodically.
This is where he succeeds: He al
ways aims to buy the best goods be-
cause they are the cheapest even
though they cost little more at the
beginning, they last longer and never
give him any trouble.
Trouble is what we never Geek for,
but sometimes we have it when we
buy cheap machinery. 1t is very
costly in the field when we have to
wait. with hands and teams that cost
$4,000 or more per day, TO repair
some cheap machine that cost $1,000
or S15 90 less, but which will cost
great many more dole rs before they
get through with them.
By buying the Hodge or Craver
header you will have little or no
trouble, and with the latest improve
ments, which are not simply talking
points, you will find you have thing
that is joy forever and which you
cannot help liking because it will
give you good satisfaction. The same
We can say of the Woods, Champion
and Osborne binders and mowers
It is said by some people that some
men like their horses better than
their wives. This ought not to be 30,
if it is. But we know if you will get
a Moon or Parry buggy your wife will
like you the more for it, as we'll as
your daughters and sons.
We sometimes wonder what is the
matter with the boys. They don't
say much but they are thinking, and
they have been thinking that you
have not been thinking much of them
by consulting their wishes and help
ing them out with good bicycle,
which they have earned long ago.
And the the girls are thinking after
they have worked hard all the year,
they ought to have few dollars to
spend in fixing up their room with
come new carpet and curtains.
l., We are going to save you money on
twine. This is what We are going to
sell you twine for: 7ac per pound and
freight, this will be from l to DC
cheaper than you can get it anywhere
else [. is the Genuine Sisal Irvine
and We want you to look at it before
you buy.
Please don't forget that we keep
the largest variety of hardware, nails,
locks, guns, bicycles, as we'll as
watches, clocks, jewelry, books, and
stationery on the market. We want
you to call and see us and get our
prices before you buy elsewhere.
We sell the j. l. Case threshing
machine. We also bave a few second
hand headers on hand that we will
sell cheap.
It makes great difference in peo-
pie when we pay them little atten-
ton and give them a little love and
kindness for the love. and kindness
they have given US. Don't you
think it makes the home happier and
more pleasant when all work together
and are always thinking of something
good to do for each other?
So just come in and get set of
dishes, you can all use these and they
are not only useful but ornamental.
Don't forget that we sell refrigera-
tors, screen doors etc., and We want
your trade in them.
Yours Truly,
The E. r. MOSES MERCANTILE Co.
