"Wby shouldn't you buy your
inery there, Ell laughed the
squire. "One reason is that right
here IN this city the millinery estab-
lishment Of Mas. S. L. AMEs pro-
vides every facility tor getting every
thing that's new and agonizing in
the world Of fashion. She carries
every thing that the last new style
decreesi her trlmmers are quite as
expert as those OF fashions great
eenters. And wife, who has COM
pared prices. says they sell cheaper
than the catalogue houses"
"One Of the rankest swindles Of
the day is in Supply House furni-
ture, continued the squire. "Its
shoddy, from the cheap imitation
wood it's made of and the paint
that conceals the imperfections, to
the ,awdry trimmings that set it off.
It's simply einch that you re sold
when you buy it,-an' serves YOU

supplies that tie community knows
to be 6rst-class quality, sold on its
merits and at close prices. The
stock includes all grades for outfit
ting a mansion or a cabin, OF the
very latest and accepted patterns;
there is style as quality in their fur
nisbings."
