Merit is Forced

TO travel a rough road sometimes,
but 1t never fails to win in the end.
This truth applies in an eminent de-
gree to our experience with the cele-
brated Summers Buggy. Before we
commenced to handle these famous
vehicles here they had never before
been offered to the people Of this sec
ton, and we were warned that owing
to this fact and the fact that they
were higher in price than the people
had been educated to pay, etc., they
would not sell. We felt that we knew
the people and KNEW that we KNEW
the Summers Buggy. We are now in
position to truthfully say that our ex-
pectations have been more than real
lied, owing to the fact that the people
have become convinced that the Sum-
mers Buggy Is not only the BEST, but
the CHEAPEST BUGGY they have
ever been offered in this section when
style, comfort, durability, etc., are TAX
en- into account, and for this reason 1t
now sells itself. Can give you any
shade or color, or any style Of spring
you want. Have other Buggies, and
Harness, too.
