THEIR FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Phenomenal Years Record Made by
Popular Local Firm.

| 6ORdidI E0SdI
| Last Saturday was the first anniver-
sary of the Iowa Tea Company. Just
one year ago that day Mr. Emery threw
! open the doors of the new enterprise for
| the first time and gave a reception to
| the public (There is no need to refer
| to the success of that opening. Altho
it was year ago, it is still fresh in the
minds of the thousands who attended.
| Never before or since has it been
| eaualled in Marshaltown) over 5000
cups of delicious coffee were served to
the friends of the new concern on that
occasion and over $500 souvenirs dis
| trihuted among them.
That was the suspicious beginning OF
a year of phenomenal success for the
Iowa Tea Company, year in which
| each day showed marked gain over
| the previous one, until the climax was
reached on last Saturday, the first an
| niversary, when the sales exceeded
those of any other day in the year. 1t
was the phenomenal day of a phenome-
nally successful twelve months.
Mr.. Emery was pleased he was CRATE
| lul; Che was happy. But he had no time
| to talk. He could only smile his
| thanks He was thankful for the pat
ronage that had been accorded him, but
above all he was grarlfled by the
| thought that he had not misjudged the
people Of Marshalltown and vicinity.
| With the fullest confidence that they
| would appreciate good coffees, teas,
| spices and chinaware, he had invested
his small capital, Chad staked his all on
| this belief and he had not been mis-
| taken. CHS expectations had been more
| than realized.) He hsl started out In
small way against strong competition,
but his stock, while small was OF the
| very best, and the public demand log his
goods had grown SO rapidly, so enorm-
| ously that he was compelled to enlarge
| his business His motto: The best ar
| tlcle at the lowest possible price" had
| been strictly adhered to and to this he
attributes his remarkable success.
| Today he is serving over 1000 fami-
| lies in Marshalltown and over 500 fami-
lies outside of the city. Surely this is Il
most phenomenal record for one short
year. (s&rely this fact speaks volumes
for the Iowa Tea Company and it's man.
ner Of doing business) From the first
Mr.. Emery has insisted that every pat
ron shall be satisfied with his or her
purchase. He guarantees that every ar
tlcle, be it tea, coffee. spices or china
ware, is exactly as represented. and
whenever the purchaser is displeased the
purchase price is cheerfully refunded.
Mr.. Emery insists upon doing this. He
considers it imperative to maintain the
excellent reputation of the house.
These are the elements, these ana the
further fact that he now carries the
most complete line OF teas, coffees.
spices and chinaware to be found in the
city, that have worked together to make
last Saturday (the Iowa Tea Company's
first Anniversary a red-ietter day-the
crowning day of glorious year. Mr..
Emery wishes to thank his thousands OF
patrons for their liberal patronage and
to assure them of the same honest deal
ing in the future as has been accorded
them in the past.

Crosby, now in her s4th year. and blind

song is Saved by Grace"
Mr.. Suckers sermon was based upon
the words in Matthew's gospel And
sitting down they watched him there.
He dwelt upon the scene of the cruel

a Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
Sons Life.

Mr.. II. Fl. Black, the well-known vii

5 years old has always been subject to
Group, and so bad have the attacks been
that we feared many times that he
would die. We have had the doctor and
used many medicines, but Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy 10 now our sole re-
lance 1t seems to dissolve the tough

when the croupy symptoms appear we
have found that the dreaded Group is
