MY CLAIM

Is that the MUTUAL BENE-
FIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Is
the BEST and issues the BEST POLL
CY. The other fellows claim theirs Is
best until 1t comes to show down
with some other company. and then
they shift by saying "they are all about
the same" The about the same
claim is correct with all except the
MUTUAL BENEFIT. It Is not neces-
sary for a prospective insurer to either
make application or be examined In
order to learn what any company will
offer. I am in position to tell you the
guarantees Of every company In busi-
ness, and will do so In writing If you
desire, and allow the agent OF the COM
pany whose guarantee you want, to
pass upon my work, and say whether
or not 1t Is correct, and will also allow
him to pass on my claims for the MU-
TUAL BENEFIT. All ask for is a
SHOW down." II my claims are cor
rect is II not as much to your interest
as mine that you test them by Look
ing before you Leap%

The
'.'Druid''
S $500.

, lo.OO.
The Sewing Machine that we are
selling at the above price is the equal
of any machine sold on this market at
as its capacity for good sewing, light
running and lasting qualities are con-
cerned. The only practical difference
to be found between the machines we
sell at SIS and those sold on this mar
ket at $50, $40, $50 and $50. is the
price. If you only want to buy a ma
chine that will fill every requirement Of
the sewing room with the minimum
amount of labor, our SIS machine will
fill every possible requirement. A $50
machine will not do any more or any
better work. This is fact that is be-
yond reasonable dispute.
Is the machine we sell guaranteed?
1t is doubly guaranteed. 1t is guar
anteed by the makers and guaranteed
by us, and we do not think that you
will find any dealer who will sell you
a Machine with a stronger or more
binding guarantee than the one we give
with our machine.
The guarantee that goes with ev-
cry machine we sell, reads as follows:
We hereby warrant this Sewing Ma
chine, No. -, to endure tho natural
wear and tear Of family use for IL
years and agree to replace free Of
charge, during that time, any parts
that may prove defective, excepting
only the wear and breakage Of Needles,
Bobbins and Shuttles.
(Signed) Strauss Smith Co.
The Druid Machine Is a high-a arm,
nickel trimmed, the frame is black
enameled. 1t is fitted on a drop-head,
quarter-sawed and swell-front oak
case and has three drawers and extern
sion leaf. Every machine is equipped
with full set Of the latest improved
nickel-plated attachments.
If you haven't one Of our SIS ma
chimes, see the one your neighbor has,
and then see us. You won't get a bet
ter machine than the Druid, no matter
what you pay.

due to the fact that the local internal

press agents and others were having

quor dealers. and they were selling and
