BE CAREFUL

Don't have pins or toothpicks, or
anything In your mouth when talking
or laughing. We have known of
boys and girls, and men and women,
who have died from sucking things
down their threats, and could get no
help or relief.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Don't buy articles from peddlers or
fakirs, or transient boomers, who
have no abiding place, and who come
and go so long as they can fatten and
feed upon you.
But when you do want good
buggy or carriage, that will last, and
be in no danger of breaking down on
rough or stony roads, get the Moon
or Velie. And should you want
something chaper, top buggy for
$50, and road wagon for $50. get
the Deere and the Enger.
Don't you believe it. We haven't
an ill will against a person on earth,
or spite or spleen to satisfy against
anyone, We conduct our business
on business principles, and to the
interest of everyone concerned.
When we find that trust is try
ing to control things, and we know
that the farmers can buy as good or
better goods cheaper, we want those
goods for the farmer, and we find
that nowadays, the farmer. knows
what he wants.
That is why we are buying the
Acme-Hodge headers. binder, mowers,
rakes and stackers. We are selling
more this year than ever before, be-
cause they are cheaper than the trust
goods. They are as good or better;
and you don't have to bind yourself,
or tie yourself up, when you Bury
them.
Life is too short to put off till next
year, buying the Improvements that
make life pleasant, and happy, and
worth living. Some people do this
all their lives, and at the end of life,
cannot say like others, ''Well, 1 have
had a very pleasant life, and if ]
should die tonight, have no regrets. u
So we want to say again, hadn't you
better take home some wallpaper, and
fix up each room, put new curtains UP
to the windows, new rug on the
floor, and a new couch or a new sci
of chairs in the room, and some
pictures on the wall, frame those that
you have had stored away for so long
intending to have framed.
Again we want to remind you that
harvest is near at hand, and you can
not afford to go through it without
getting your wife and daughter a new
Garland or Round Oak steel range
or Quick Meal gasoline stove. The
latter will give her moreEpleasure, be
cause she will feel cool while working
around it.
In your odd hours, take home
some paint, and fix up the window
sills, the door jams, and the doors, tc
correspond with the wallpaper. and
you will find that you enjoy it while
you sit around of evenings.
Surprise your wife with new SCI
of dishes, an Eldridge orss Seamtress
sewing machine, or with Kroeger
Valley Gem, Smith & Barnes, OF
Ellington piano, or Newman or
Farrand organ.
Don't forget that harvest will soon
be here, and you haven't got your
header fixed up, or repaired. If you
are going to repair it, come in early
and get your repairs, rivets, tacks
canvas, leather, betting, and every
thing else that you need, and have ii
all ready before harvest commences
Have your house spouted, and
have US put in bathtub for you
We have a first class timer and
plumber.
If you want the very best roof and
house paint on the market, see what
we have, as we are getting in the very
best, at all times.
/ Don't fail to have lightning roo
put on your house when our friend
Quin, calls upon you.
Yours very truly,
