carries more compreh ensive stock
of cooking machinery" remarked I'm.
| Gle Josh. every possible piece OF
kitchen furniture from tin dlpper to
a cooking range is here in all styles
and variety" If Polly fails TO accom-
plish wonders in the culinary art, 1t
will not be for want of superior cook
ing utensils, for she purchased su.
perb range with all other equipments
needed in well regulated kitchen, all
of which Uncle Josh paid for with de-
light cause he knew that Petty &
Hollingsworth had treated him all
right, just as they Great everybody.
Lets see-I promised you gold
watch, didn't 70" queried Uncle Josh
of Polly, and c. B. Beck is the man to
give us the worth of our money" En-
tering the popular jewelry store the
old man CALAMITY acquitted himself of
the promise and then directed Polly's
attention to the superior stock of sill
verware carried by him. "There is
no other such house in town." said
the old man, "and Twill guarantee the
quality to be the very best. Pick out
your family clock while here" he adj
deed. "Beck carries magnificent line.
Don't forget another fact" he contin-
ued; eff you unfortunately need optical
goods, this is the place to come and
get your eyes scientifically tested and
fitted free, and say, my boy, remember
that Beck is also an expert watch doc
tor on sick watches"
At this point, somewhat to the con-
fusion OF Charley, the old man indulg-
ed in a half serious criticism of his
personal appearance. "You are decid-
edly of style for a townsman, said he,
''and we'd better go see McLain Bros.
& Co. about some new duds. That's
an up-to-date place, where they under
stand the changing styles and are n OF
ed for good fits, and l bet you'll look
more like a newly married man
when you get logged out in one of
their stylish suits" Accordin ely,
having found goods and prices irresis-
tible, Charles purchased neat suit
and then invested in a complete outfit
of meas 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 McLain
Bros. & Co.
well, Scat my" exclaimed Uncle
Josh, with David Harum accent, as
they reached the street, 81 must run
down to the First State Bank and get
another check book. Come along
with me and get acquainted with
Cashier Bell and staff, for of course
you will do business with them and it
is always more pleasant to be per-
sonally acquainted with the people you
do business with. This bank is as
solid as the base of the universe, is
managed on safe conservativeness, and
has stroLg working capital. You
will find them eyer ready to extend
any accommodations compatible with
business principles.
Guess I'll open an account with the
First State Bank right away" replied
Charles, and he did.
After this visit, Uncle Josh suggest
ed resort to some place of refresh
ment. At the refreshment table the
old man waxed philosophical. "Never
neglect your larder, said he. "That
important adjunct to housekeeping
controls masculine temper. To that
end you must patronize grocer on
whom you can depend for honest
goods. Through long term of years
have found the Dawson Cash Store
perfectly reliable. You will find L.
Lamar d careful man always fully
stocked with every possible thing in
the line of staple and fancy groceries,
fresh and trst-class, no shelf-worn
goods there, while the prices are down
to brass tacks. To keep peace in this
family get all your groceries of the
Dawson Cash Store.
"Haltn' commanded Uncle Josh, as
the party came in front of Bell Il Bald
wins drug store, ''walk right in"
"Why, uncle, we're not sick, and"
"guess l know that" laughed the old
man, shut suspect it won't be long
before this young man begins to take
an interest in matters of paregoric
and" "Uncle! Well go in anyway
and get acquainted, besides Polly may
ind some toilet article she wants. "
Sure enough, before leaving be was
loaded down with combs, brushes, face
powders and several bottles of fine per-
fumes. Don't forget" added Uncle
Josh, ito come here with your pre-
scriptions, as Bell & Baldwin are COM
petent pharmacists, VINO use nothing
but pure and reliable drugs"
