CHRISTMAS Is COMING.

Are you all preparing yourselves
for it as you have prepared yourselves |
for the long winter that may be before |
US? You have filed your cellars with
potatoes, pork, beans, cabbage, and |
sauer-kraut; you have filed your
barns with hay. fodder, and feed for
the cattle and horses, and you have
put the Genuine Round Oak heating
stove in your house to make it more
pleasant in the long winter evenings.
We have just received car of barb
wire which is almost gone. We will
have another car in the latter part of
this week 80 if you want any, better
leave your order now and we will
bold it tor you.
You are going to paper the walls
with new paper, you are going to put
in some new furniture in the parlor,
sitting room and dining room, you
are going to get the wife some new
dishes and you told the girls to look
out for some new pictures for the
walls, and you have said to mother
fix up the boys room with new car
pet or rug, new bedroom suit, and
put if you please, some new paper on
the wall and some pictures so they
will realize that we think just as much
of them as We do of the girls.
We are constantly receiving new
goods in watches, clocks. .jewelry.
hardware, and holiday goods of all
| kinds.
We have closed out our book de-
partment and are putting in a COM
plete line of granite, TIN copper and
iron ware. The largeet assortment
ever kept in this town.
Now you have gotten together each
evening around the freside and you
have looked back through the summer
heat and toll, thought how hard you
have worked, how you have plowed
and sowed and reaped and the crop
has been good, you harvested it, and
the work was hard, not only for
yourself, but for the boys, the girls,
ard the mother who stood over the
hot stove cooking for, the harvest
hands and also the threshing hands.
We buy our tanks in car load lots
thereby saving the freight We sell
them to you SO you can save the
freight, also.
1t is economy to buy one of our
Moon buggies. It will last you an
ordinary life time. will give you no
trouble, and will be sold from $1,000
to $4,000 cheaper than any other
make of buggy of the same quality.
But now this is passed. Now the
season is changed. You are resting
together in the cosy home made SO
by your hard earned tolls. and now
you come to the conclusion as you
have earned it and have the money
for it yeu want the Kroeger or Smith
and Barnes piano, Or the Newman or
Farrand organ. You have come to
the conclusion, all of you, that Home
Sweet Home is just as sweet and
nice as you make, and that music in
the home is pleasant to have, and one
of the most enjoyable features is to
while away the leisure hours that
come to you in the winter time.
You will want good water to drink
1t makes you healthier and gives you
longer life, By getting US to put down
a deep well for you, and you will
want the Goodhue, Samson or Ideal
mill to draw it up. Also~a pump and
perhaps tank. We have them all.
| We repair watches, clocks, jewelry,
furniture, guns. locks, windmilIs,
engines, farm implements and ma
chinery. All work warranted.
i 1t keeps the boys and girls at home,
makes it more pleasant for you, it at
tracts the boys and girls from other
homes and they gather In your home
and makes it all the more pleasant
for your own children. And don't
= you think in the end it makes your
children like home better and they
} want to stay there because you have
made 1t pleasant by having these
things for the home.
Yours Truly,
The E. r. Moses Nero. Co.
