able dress goods and you are sure tG

You will find o. G.. Korb pleasant tc

long to tell bargain when she saw
one, She got handsome dress, with
all necessary trimmings, and several
other articles of Fantastic disarray''
so dear to the heart of every woman.
Woman like, Polly was discussing
with the clerk the matter Of how she
would arrange her new house and
was interrupted by Uncle Josh.
"And those house fiXin's remind me, y
said he, shat you haven't got your
dishes yet. Now, the most famous
stock in town, for extent, quality and
completeness is also right here at
Korb's. There isn't positively, a
thing in the line Of china, crockery,
glass or proclaim needed for use or
ornament in any part Of the house
that can not be found at 0. G. KOrb's
in indefinite variety and at wonder
fully low prices" He also has a
splendid stock of lamps of every
description and decorated ware in
abundance. Polly's big order sug-
gested her thorough appreciation.
Returning down stairs the girl cast
some eager glances toward the shoe
department. "Oh me! Oh myw she
calculated, what a perfectly lovely
slipper" YES" said Uncle Josh,
"Korb's stock can't be equalled in
this section. Look it over and pick
out what you want and I'll foot the
bill cause they are having a Clear
ing up Sale now and prices are rock
bottom" 1t might have been policy
not to have extended that invitation,
had not Uncle Josh known O. G..
Korb, for Polly found goods and
prices so seductive that she purchased
an outfit from pretty slipper to d
handsome walking boot. Charley in
vested in gents fine shoes, while
Uncle Josh INDUCED in stout boot,
with rubbers for the crowd. No one
needing footwear or general merchan-
disc of any sort can resist the styles
and prices offered by o. G. Korb.
"By the way" exclaimed Uncle
Josh, with paternal air, ''the next
thing to look after is the lumber for
those improvements which are abso-
lutely necessary. Come with me and
I'll introduce you to Grant McMahan,
who is the principal dealer for that
line here, on the range. He carries
the most complete line of building
material in the county-everything,
from the stills for the foundation to
the shingles for the roof, including
doors and windows, mouldings, ETC.,
and don't want all the moneyafeller's
got either. 1t is pleasant to deal
with Grant McMahan for his greatest
aim is to give satisfaction to every
customer" And it didn't take Uncle
Josh long to place ga right smart
sized" order for building material.
:'Strange now, amt it, but one
thing suggests another?" querried
Uncle JOSH. 81 myself couldn't build a
chicken coop and / don't reckon
Charley here could drive nail with
out smashing his thumb so we will
require carpenter to help US out on
that improvement business, but
when think OF contractor and
builder | always think of Thos. Jury.
He is an expert workman and won't
monkey around all summer doing the
job, either. So you see its simply Il
case of putting the case before the
Jury. Tom Jury has built nearly
half Of the town of Ely and l tell you
he's a good contractor to tie to.v Mr..
Jury was soon arranged with to do
the Job and did it in first class shane
at reasonable figure.
"And in the matter of insurance. y
the old gentleman continued, "That
is also of Importance. You will want
a risk on your new house, and goods:
but you can't be too careful about
getting it in a reliable agency. Our
friend, f. L. Cowen, at the Elk
change Bank. not only has lines of
the solidest and best companies, but
he is an expert and trustworthy
underwater. He has large number
of companies. all of which belong to
the old reliable category, being well
known for their prompt and salts
factory adjustment of losses. It's
better to be safe than sorry and
you'll surely be safe in the Exchange
Bank agency" Charley agreed to at
tend to the insurance matter at his
earliest convenience,
