IT Is NOT OUR FAULT.


Trusts may be good in some instan-
ces, and very bad in others. If q
trust monopolizes completely any GER
tain product 30 that no one else can
make it, it certainly ought to manu-
facture it in such great quantities as
would supply the trade.
Ever since the steel and wire trust
has gone into effect it has been very
difficult for US to get wire. If we send
in an order today it will be month
before we get it.
When the Lawrence and other
smaller factories were in existence you
bet it came in time and we were not
disappointed in getting it, but we
want to say to our many friends that
have orders for wire both at this place
and Hoislngton, We want you to be
patient with us, or rather with the
monopoly and we trust to have 1t in
before many days. But don't trust
in trusts.
In the mean time we wish to notify
you that we have just received our
spring shipment of screen doors and
window screens 80 that in your leis-
ure moments you can put them up
and save your wife from getting mad
by being pestered with the flies. 1t
won't take any more time to put them
up now than it will by keeping the
flies off of you by not having them up.
We are looking after your interest
by saving a dollar now and then for
you. We are just receiving sub
stance that will clean your wall paper.
1t won't cost you very much and may
save you many a dollar. Of course
we would rather cell you new wall
paper, but then there are certain
places on the paper that need clean
ing when the majority of the paper
does not. That is what CHS wall
paper cleaner is for.
In house cleaning you will have to
beat your carpets. We have a wire
beater that does not cost much and
will not hurt the carpet or cut holes
in it, 1t will only cost you % cents,

ming over with madness and ven
geance. He had bought piano from
one of those travelling fakes and after
he had it while the wood began to
crack and the veneering to peal off
and the fake agent did not make it
good. He told him he was liar, q
thief, and robber, and he travelling
fake took it. In fact he would rather

the warrantee on the piano.
Some of these fake agents go to the
penitentiary, some continue to lie and
cheat, some think they are smart
when they can hoodwink and BAN
boozle their customers; and yet the
good people will allow them to still
come around and hoodwink and byp-
notlse them into buying their fake
goods at $1OO 90 or more than what
they could buy at the E. R. Moses
Nero. Go.
Ifyou don't believe what we say,
jus. come in and let us show you some
of the absolute facts that will make
any of the doubling parties believe
them.
We are putting piano in a house
today. that the parties came near
losing $4,000 or more by a fake
agent that is serving a Z year time in
the penitentiary, and they say they
will never buy anything from . man
they don't know or firm that is far
away. If you want to know the
names of the parties. just come in and
see US and we will give them to you.
The moral is:--Buy such goods
at home from such responsible parties
that you know will make good what
they guarantee, by buying the
Kroeger, Smith and Barnes pianos
and the Newman Bros. organ from
the E. r Moses Mercantile Co. And
you will never get left and they guar.
sntee you satisfaction Or they will
tske back the instrument.
Four or five men came in the other
day and said "we can buy buggy at
cost of parties who are selling out.
We sold them buggies, just as good if
not better, at S12 90 less than cost
prices offered them. and still we made
money on them. This proves to you
