COPPER BARS

Nowadays Is really the only topic of conversation you can hear. We'll, let by zones be by-gOnes; the copper is gone. that's q settled fact. but we want to impress on your mind how easy it Is for the manufactures to tell to the ounce how much is missing. Some people will say, How in thun- der do they know how much is miss ingf" Such people do not know how much they themselves lose every year. The manufacturer has his scales and has every thing weighed that comes into his establishment. and if found short, you bet they refuse to pay Tor what they do not receive. It should be the principle in every household in our city; every one should have handy little scales that won't take up much room and yet do you good ser vice If you had one you could weigh everything you purchased. If you find a shortage. just go back and de mand your rights and then tell the fel- low who cheated you what you think of him. Let him know you are ''onto his game and you'll find at the end or the year that your scales is the best paying article in your house. Well, 1T you want just such a scales we've got them. and while they last you can se- cure one with only two pounds of our warranted good Baking Powder. 4oe per pound. The regular price of the scales is $1, therefore you see the bar gain you can get by purchasing your Baking Powder at
