Many ladies have come into our
furniture store and looked at samples
of moquetts, velvet, administer, and
brussel carpets but do not buy be-
cause they do not know how il will
look on the floor by looking at these
small samples, but if they could look
at roll and see how it would match
up, they would want carpet off of
such and such a pattern. Now we
can supply you as We have gotten in
the greatest variety of administer.
moquett, velvet, and brussels carpets
ever brought to this city. You can
take one yard or thousand yards,
just suit yourself, and at prices ten or
fifteen cents lower than if you bought
from a sample, as we can always buy
these goods cheaper by buying in
large quantities. So come IN and see
these goods and take your choice.
We haye also contracted for the
Empire cream seperators, but never
gni one that would do the work and
piesse our customers. We have it in
this one. You can take one trial and
il il does not suit return it, You can
buy it on time or pay it in monthly
paymenis.
SOMETHING THAT We HAVE
BEEN SEEKING FOR, but never
found it until last week, when we
tested it on our store roof That is a
roof cement that can be used on tin,
iron, asbestos, paper or wood roofing
and keep them from leaking. This
is a great saving to the people who
have leaky roofs, az it only costs
very little per square to put it on and
we guarantee it to keep the roofs from
leaking. 1t is put on red hot, so that
it enters into every crevice, and firm
ly holds to the material, and does
not dry up in the hot SUM-. Il is al
most fire proof as there is a great deal
of asbestos In it. If you want your
roofs covered with this please leave
your orders early. as we have lote of
work to do in this and adjoining
towns. We can prove to you that if
is just what you want if you will come
in and see US.
We have been 90 busy putting on
wall paper that our Mr.. Dodge who
hargs the paper, has had very little
time to sell paper without getting a
mau to help him out, but if you will
come in, we will see that you are
waited upon, and you will be the
next one to have your paper hung.
A LARGER STOCK KEPT
THAN EVER BEFORE IN THIS
TOWN. That ia our stock of Iu>
grain carpets. Indeed you would be
surprised to see the great variety and
styles that we keep in this line, as
we'll as in rugs. We are selling car
pets from % cents up. We also sell
all kind of mating, rugs, oil cloth,
and linoleum aud curtains. We alsn
have ironing boards, and pillow sham
holders. We have bargains on quite
a number of pickups, that we bought
from Wholesale houses, where there
we're one or two odd pieces such as
bureaus, ccmmodes, beds, springs,
mattresses, iron beds aud bed room
suits. Some of these are selling at
half prices.
We are trying to have each of our
departments complete in themselves,
so that you can find anything you

than they can possibly need during the

of the companies that are compelled to

but some Of the men are not as capable

In speaking Of the conditions about

come to our Offices daily and beg for
something to do, saying they are tired
of idlencss. We hear from these men
that some Of the strikers are practical

they will be harmed or their families
