Go Way Back

And sit down. That's what some of the know-it-all ward heelers" were compelled to do only short time ago; in fact, they'd give you a tired feeling. Say, that tired feeling will come on in spite of all you can do. The ladies when not working around the house are generally shopping, on the lookout for bargains. In other words, trying to save money by purchasing where they can get the most for their money. Therefore, ladies, read this ad. The men folks, whether in the shop, at their desk, behind the counter or at any occupation feel tired when they come home, particularly when they sit at the table to kill that which will XIII any of us (hunger). The proper thing for comfort in such a case is a well made, substantial, GOLDEN OAK, comfortable chair. Now, that's just the kind of chair we are giving. with one pound of our warranted good Bak- ing Powder, 45c per pound. You may ask how we can do it? We simply say to you, don't mind how we can af- ford it; just call in and make your pur- chase while we have them. We posi- lively will not sell over pounds to any one purchaser and you're welcome to them while they last. If you like to drink good coffee and are so unfor- tunate as to not be drinking the kind We sell, just try a pound and see how much better you will feel after your breakfast every morning. Our 25c Butter is captivating everyone. Try 1t from
