"Big Things"

We live in the days of big things and
great achievements; 225,00O people
passed under the roof and were custom
ers of one of the largest department
stores In single day.
The store received II carloads of
granite ware in one shipment. A full
car load of shirt waists was received
at once. 100000 books were bought in
one order, 100000 deliveries were
made in one day, keeping busy force
of 400 horses, 100 double wagons and
so single ones were used. BESIDES the
above, private drays in large numbers
are often employed. A constant work.
ing force of $500 people are employed
and for the holiday trade 1900 are often
at work. If the counters i'm one store
were set end to end they would have
length of six miles. Young men and
women from the country will enter
those stores.
SiA business men were met upon the
streets and asked for three leading
characteristics to insure young man
or woman success in business All
agreed upon the following: Character,
honesty, good habits and truthfulness
must be unquestioned;2 End, pleasant adj
dress, zeal and untiring energy; 3rd
good attachments, aquired by the study
of those branches that build up self re-
lance and well disciplined mind.
Five of these placed character first. If
they are right it is necessary that the
students in our schools shall have the
proper environment.
The faculty of Valdez Business Col
lege and Normal School are men who
will look after the formation of correct
habits by its students. They will aver
age for proper society and kindly check
any disposition to form bad habits.

Months ago this was begun
and we are free to say that
without a doubt we will have
more good clothing in our
store this fall than ever shown
by any one firm in Northern
Iowa. Not only will our stock
be larger than ever before but
our prices will be as usual
cheaper than same qualities
can be purchased elsewhere.
Our ever growing business
enables us to give our GUS
toners more and better NOR
chandise for their money than
is possible with smaller dealers.
There are many good reasons
for this: Ample capital to take
advantage of every discount;
an experience of more than
% years in the business; own
our store rooms and many
other decided advantages
which we enjoy and which no
one will dispute, so we invite
you to come, assuring you al

A Boy. Push and "A Boys Pound.

BOYS rush nnu boys Iouhus
A boy at the launching Of ship once
surprised every one by his quick wit
and energy. If you have witnessed
such a very interesting operation you
will remember that the vessel Is ex-
pected to run along so called ways"
into the water, but this particular YES
sci stuck on the ways. People were
disappointed. The boy ran up to the
vessel and began TO push. People
looking on laughed at him. The boy
was indignant. 81 can push my
poundw he said. To the surprise Of
everybody the vessel moved off.
A boys push and a boys pound!
There is a world of meaning in it.
Everybody has an influence and the
Everybody" includes all boys, and
there are many movements IN this
world which, "stuck on the ways" only
need n little help a kindly push, push
of a pounds force, to insure success.
1t is so at home. There Is new car
pet to be bought, there are new chairs
to be purchased, there is a summer
holiday to be given to mother, and the
money for these things might be had,
but is not forthcoming. because a little
more enthusiasm is needed in the rails
ing Of It. A boys spirit, boys push,
will come in here powerfully. Many
ships get "stuck on the ways" at home
all because the enthusiasm Of some one
is not in the last push.
