continued the Hon. Thomas, warming
to his subject. at is shoddy, from
the cheap. imitation wood it is made
Of, and the paint that conceals its i'm
projections, to the tawdry trimmings
that set it off. 1t is simply cinch
that you're sold when you buy it-and
serves you right IL you are. For right
here in town is G. r. Leonard who
has stock of furniture that the COM
munity knows to be first class quality,
sold on merits and at close prices.
The stock includes all grades, for out
fitting a mansion or a cabin, of the
very latest and accepted patterns.
There is style as well as quality 10 c.
r. Leonard IS furniture" Mr.. Leonard
has a fine stock of mouldings, and does
picture framing in artistic manner.
"The most ciedulous people know
Of. continued Mr.. Jones, ''are those
who send away for jewelry and
watches. Cheap, unreliable grades
are the stock in trade of the catalogue
houses. 1t is so easy to fill a. mail
order with trash and so impossible for
the victim to get redress. With a
house like j. R. Losey's you are safe.
Back OF the fact that the goods are on
hand for inspection, is the guarantee
OF well-known citizen, who could not
afford, If he would, TO misrepresent
quality
Col. ManOeuvreS suggested that GER
tain kinds of manufactured articles.
notably harness-could be produced
cheapest in the big factories.
Nobody denies that" said Hon.
Thomas Jones. But how about quail
ity? That is what is vital to the buy
er. There is no other product where
shoddy is SO freely used by unscrupu-
lous men. The only Simon-sure cinch
against a swindle is to buy of man
you know something about-a man
like c. FirestOne, for instance who can
be found In the Kendall block His
rcpute for honest material, good work
and reliable representation is as the
page of an open book in this commun-
ity, and ne carries stock of harness,
robes and blankets.
"These fellers quote cut prices on
patent medicines, said Deacon Tite-
fist, referring TO the supply house
catalogue.
''.Some kinds, said Jones. "Shslf-
worn goods bought in job lots. When
l use medicine want the best, and to
DE sure of getting it 60 to house
have confidence in. We all know J.
w. Rinard to be thoroughly reliable
and are assured of the genuine quality
Of the goods We get. He carries full
lines OF everything known in the
realm of pharmacy, and makes point
Of having it fresh and pure. Health
is too precious to take chances with
want to know that the man is skilled
and reliable who deals out my medi-
cines."
at this point the entainment CON-
mittee reported that they had ar
ranged with w. w. Hill & Son to sup
ply everything needed for the Ami
Sersary church in the line of baked
goods. The ladies Of the society had
worked SO hard to secure funds for the
carpets, that they were too nearly
tired out To do the cooking and bak-
ing for the supper. Besides it was a
question, If it was not just as economi-
cal in the long run to have this work
done by a professional baker. Re-
Numbering the deliciOusness and
wholesomeness of w. w. Hill & Sons
bread, cakes. pies. oysters and candies,
the church members promptly Endorsed
the action of the committee.
There's one business the catalogue
men do not NEEDLE WITH" said Par
son Goodman, ''the butcher's.'
''But the packer does," said Mr..
Jones. "His agents slip around and
take private orders for cured meats.
They get no encouragement from me,
J. E. Turner supplies my table. His
market il always stocked with prime
meats of eyerv description that ]
know TO be of first class quality. And
bis weights are honest. and prices
graded to the lowest market notch.
1t pays to trade with Turner.
"Mr. Turner will have choice
stock Of meats and poultry for Thanks
giving and holiday trade
There is another line of business, ("
mildly interposed Parson Goodman,
''that we are all interested in having
satisfactorily represented at home and
that is the laundry. II all men and
women who have laundry work done,
will give it to our home laundry, the
money earned will be kept at home
and paid out here, and we will have
the satisfaction Of having added an
other successful industry to the busi-
