It's the first time for two seasons
that there is anything new produced
Ia ladies' Neckwear. We do show
some novelties today. They are SELL

and are q decided change from what
we have had. In fancy lace toas,
lace and chiffon combination boas, the
novelty stock collars, novelty lace ties,
the hemstitched Crepe-de.chene ties,
the fancy lace collars and new shapes
in neck ruffs, all make q very pretty
display. In many of the choice things
there is only one of a kind hown
We would suggest early selection and
early morning shopping. We solicit
your trade.
We would suggest to the trade the
advisability of shopping early in the
day. In the afternoon the st re is so
crowded that it is impossible to wait
on the trade to any degree of satisfac-
tion. In the morning you have better
attentions given you and better vari-
ETY. to choose from and can make your
decision more satisfactory to yourself.

HANDKERCHIEFS.

At the handkerchief counter, yes
terday, it was SO crowded that many of
you could not be waited on; that
fault will be remedied today. Hand
kerchiefs have received double the
counter space that they had yesterday.
They are open on display. We would
however, suggest morning shopping
as being preferable to afternoon; the
store is not SO crowded, you can get
waited on more promptly and can
make your selection more satisfactory
to yourself. In no former seasons have
handkerchiefs Sold as well as this sea-
son, especially the better grades. The
pure linen hand embroidered goods at
10. Is and 25c in unlaundered are 60

plain and hemstitched handkerchiefs
at 12}c and the silk handkerchief we
are closing at 10c are selling very
fast. We had big quantities of both
kinds and they possibly will last for q
day or two longer. Gentlemen's hem
stitched plain linen handkerdhiefs are
a better value this season than at any
time shown. We have the different

Life Insurance and Where t0Buy.

Doubtless you are carrying life in
surance, or seriously thinking OF doing
SO, or of increasing your present hold
ings, and where and ofIwhat company
you will buy.
One can hardly make q mistake In
patronizing any one of the regular
''Old Line" companies, especially
those who have passed the expert
mental stage. There are some forty
or fifty good companies in the field, all
anxious for your applicat on, and all
are good, safe, reliable. and will do
precisely what their contracts agree.
That some have advantages over
others, there is no question of doubt,
the one having the greater number
being able to do the best for its policy
holders. The company that uses the
most care in the selection of its risks.
thus maintaining the lowest death rate,
the most care in the investment OF its
funds at the highest rate of interest,
the most care in its expense of manage
ment, is the one above all others with
| which to place your money.
In buying life insurance, therefore,
you should carefully examine all OF
these points. Should you ask how you
may know, or learn of these matters,
we should advise you to write the In
surance Department at Columbus, for
a copy of the Commissioners report,
which contains the sworn reports of all
companies doing business in the State.
In this connection, however, we are
pleased to say that of all companies re-
porting to the Ohio Insurance Depart
ment, none stand higher than the
Union Central, of our own home state
For Q number of years its death ratt
has been lower, its interest on invested
funds higher, than any of its competi
tors.
BY q comparison OF cash dividend
paid to its policy holders, We find IL
Imany instances . difference of from 3
20 100 per cent in favor of The UnioI
Central, and frequently at . les
premium charge, and especially Is thi
true when comparing with Eastern
companies, where money Is very cheal
and funds invested in railroad stock
and bonds of iuctusting and uncertain
value.
By the Ohio law, the funds of tn
Union Centr-l are invested in improve
farm property at one-halfits cash valu
without the buildings. It will thus b
seen that with the same care !
placing your insurance as you woul
place your money In any other legit
mate business or. enterprise, prudenc
and good business judgment woul
} Suggest The Union Central in prefer
, ence to any other company. No Sta,
has . better company. No compan
can show as good results, or even con
: pare favorably.
. In buying life insurance, therefOr'
we unhesitatingly recommend th
Union Central in preference to an
Iother company, honestly believin
l that It is today the best company in th
q land. in which to place your money ft
8 the best results.
