H. just because its an adver-

advertisement deserves. better
treatment. Don't sigh and
say you take no stock in adj
vertisements, you'd be mighty
apt to use the same means if
you had occasion for it, and
what is more, await early re-
sponses and good results.
Don't close your eyes 10 the
fact that an advertisement is
the best and most convenient
factor between buyer aud sell
or, usually to the benefit of
both-the buyer as well as
seller. And don't you forget
that we are SELLERS of most
everything pertaining to Mems

fresh from the factories, an
immense stock Of fine Suits,
Overcoats, Trousers, Hats,

Hosiery and most anything
that goes to make the Man or
