After this visit, Uncle Josh suggested
a resort to some place of refreshment.
At the refreshment table the old man
waxed philosophical. "Never neglect
your larder," said he. That important
adjunct to housekeeping controls mas
culine temper. To that end you must
patronize grocer on whom you can
depend for honest goods. Through
long term of years have found J. NJ.
Wood perfectly reliable. You will
find Meredith a careful dealer, always
fully stocked with every possible thing
in the line of staple and fancy grocer
les, fresh and first-class, no shelf worn
goods there, while the prices are down
to brass tacks. TO keep peace in this
family, get your groceries of J. NJ.
Wood, the grocer"
"Next thing on the duoaet," contin-
ued Uncle Josh, sis the brick to fix
up that chimney, but that matter can
be attended to in about minutes. A.
G. Seavey will furnish the brick-good
brick, too, cause the Seavey brick fac
toryis noted for the superior quality of
its product. We can kill two birds with
one stone, or rather one brick in this
case.-I need some fertilizer and A. G..
Seavey handles the only kind | ever
use, the famous Royal G. There is no
fertilizer on earth that equals Royal
G. I've bought that brand for years
and always got my moneys worth"
While Charley ordered the brick,
Uncle Josh bought five tons of Royal G.
and half dozen fertilizer distributors.
"And in the matter of insurance"
the old gentleman continued, as his
eye caught the sign of J. f. Miazza &
Bro, across the railroad when the par
ty emerged from Seavey's front door,
that is also of importance. You will
want risk on your new house and
furnishings; but you can't be too care.
full about getting it in reliable agen-
cy. My friends, the Miazza Bros, not
only have lines of the solidest and
best companies, but they are expert
and trustworthy underwriters They
have large number of companies, all
Of which belong to the old reliable
category, being we'll known for their
prompt and satisfactory adjustment of
losses. It's better to be safe than sor-
ry and you'll surely be safe in Miazza
Bros. Fire Insurance Agency" Char
ley agreed to attend to the insurance
matter at his earliest convenience.
While Uncle Josh was pondering
where to 60 next, Polly suddenly
asked: "Uncle, where can | find the
leading millinery establishment"
"Just few doors further on" re-
marked Uncle Josh, land we will visit
R. H. Hamilton at the N. Y. Racket,
who, by the way, has on hand one of
the completest stocks of millinery to
be found in the city. You can get
what you want there, the latest
styles and lowest prices being the
motto. The n. Y. Racket trim
mers having good taste and ex-
perience guarantee that when you
have purchased there, you have the
thing according to fashion and salts
faction that your work has been done
by competent artist" In few min
utes there never was a happier girl
than Polly, for she got a perfect
dream" of hat and the bill didn't
scare Uncle Josh, either.
"Yum, yum," laughingly escaped
Polly's rosebud lips, as she glanced in
to Price & Watson's attractive phar-
macy. "Uncle Josh, you know I've
got sweet tooth, and those Lowney's
candies look so nice just can't resist
the temptation to 60 in." Charley
here objected cause he knew if
Polly got into Price & Watson's once,
there's where she'd likely want to stay.
He relented, however, when Uncle Josh
said ''soda water, my boy, from their
elegant onyx fountain" so in they
went and after regaling themselves
with delicious soda, the girl loaded up
on Lowney's chocolates and bon-bons
enough to make every tooth in the
county ache, while Charley filled his
pockets with choice cigars, and both
agreed that Price & Watson would
soon see them again.
81 declare, uncle" exclaimed Char
ley, "there goes handsome buggy. |
must have one like that for the girl"
"Get it right down here" said the old
man. "You see, Parsons Moreton-
Wentworth Co. carry stock that for
variety and excellence can't be beat.
They carry surreys, carriages, bug
gies, phaetons and wagons of all the
leading makes and styles, and are sat
isfied with a moderate profit, too"
Polly was soon the possessor of a
handsome carriage, but before they
left Charley also got much interested
in a James & Graham wagon. Uncle
Josh saw what was up, so he quickly
said, "lll honor your draft for that,
too, my boy, cause l know that any
thing you get of Parsons Moreton
Wentworth Go. is o. K"
| At this point, somewhat to the con-
fusion of Charley, the old man in
dulged in half serious criticism of
his personal appearance. "You are
| Il Oft til ,
said he, land we'd better go see Geo
Bowsky about some new duds. That's
an up-to- date store, where they under
stand the changing styles and are not
ed for good fits, and | bet you'll look
more like a newly married man when
you get logged out in a Bowsky suit. !"
Accordingly, having found goods and
prices irresistible, Charley purchased
neat suit and then invested in a
complete outfit of mems furnishings
from late style hat down to sox, and
he readily agreed that Uncle Josh took
him to the right place when he took
him to Geo, Bowsky.
"Hut say, uncle, aren't you about to
forget another one of the greatest es-
sentials Of our house furnishing?"
asked Polly. "You haven't said
word about mattings and rugs yet"
"Jes' so, jes' So" replied Uncle Josh,
sit does beat all how you wimmin folks
can think of things, but tell you it
won't take me long to think of the
store for carpets. Fact is, we're there
almost now. R. T. Scherck right here
on the corner is the man. You can
also get yoYr refrigerator of Scherck,
cause he keeps a fine line" While
Polly was buying refrigerator, mat
things, rugs, etc, Charley and r. Il.
Scherck had base ball talk which re-
suited in an arrangement for the
young man to play short stop on
