"One of the rankest swindles of tn.
day is i'll supply House iurniinre,
continued the squire "lt's shoddy
from the cheap imitation wood its
made of and the paint that concesls
the imperfections, 10 the taWdry trim
mings that set it off. It's simply a
cinch that you're sold when you buy
it,-an' serves you right ii you are. For
right here in town I. Bolin has a stock
OF furniture and house supplies that
the community knows to be- first class
quality, sold on its merits and at close
prices. The stock includes Ill grades
for out-titting mansion OF cabin, OF
the very latest and accepted patterns;

propose to send away for boots and

Deacon you worry me.
"rhe home merchants prosperity
does not interest me,,' exclaimed the
colonel"
Then yon are short sighted" de-
ciared the squire. Take the clothing

it pays taxes to help you run the home
machine, it subscribes to every public
enterprise. 1t sells you clothing that
is honest at prices that are economical
IL carries q stock that i'll extent and
variety is the PRIDE of the town, just
because it is prosperous. I9terest you

"rhe most credulous people | know
of" the squire went on, Are those
who send away for jsweiry. Phony
jawelry is the stock in trade of these
catalogue sharks. It's so easy to fill
a mail order with trash and so impos-
sible for the victim to get redress
With house like j. r. Stove you are
safe. Back of the fact that the goods
are or hand tor inspection, IN a stock
superb III quality and extent, is the
guarantee of substantial house that
could not afford, if it would, to nisrep
resent qualities. MIR. Stove is also an
expert fine watch repalrer and engray-

One of the qneerest things i'm this
question of home trade said the squire
is the tendency of farmers to kill their
own grain market. Take the matter
of hour. Here's the Valley Rs!Ier Mil!s
. that manufactures all grades OF the
most suberb llonrs every housekeepel
in the community will admit that yet
the farmer expects the miller to buy
his wheat while he permits his grocer
to fOlst on him All inferior grade OF
foreign flour without question or hind.
rance, 1t takes the rawest kind ct
gall, it strikes me, to demand the mar
ket price for grain and then buy the
foreign made product.
Ii there's an exception laughed the
old man, to the home made idea, its
with the baker. When you can buy
bread like mother used to make and
the most delicious of pastries for about
tie money you would pay for material
and thus save your wife all the labor
!. and worry attendant on baking. | be
lieve it's most profitable to patronize a
bakery like Peel & Stevens their loaves
are strictly standard weight, and we al
know the high repute they have forex
: cellenca and when you figure on the
: elimination of bake day from house
hold cares believe Pm i'm favor, in
this one case, OF doing business away
, from home
"The folly of going away from home
! for service is we'll illustrated in the
laundry business" continued the
Squire. "To say nothing of the dis
7 loyalty to home institutions, it sub
!. jects one to extreme Inconvenience
{ you have got TO have your wash ready
