There They Go Again.


We hear it from every side, that the
agents of the trust companies, which
are the Mccormick, Deering. Plano,
Champion and Milwaukee, are telling
around that the Acme Hodge harvester
company are going to bust up, that
they will not furnish extras and all
like that.
| Say. isn't this funny way of try
ing to sell machines to intelligent
farmers, when they know that the
Acme Hodge headers were sold be-
fore these others were in existence,
and that you cau always get extras.
| Isn't it funny that young men, or
old men will go around the country
trying to think that the farmers are
fools and numbskulls, and that they
can bamboozle them into buying trust
goods instead of independent goods?
Don't be deceived by them. IF
they will misrepresent in one thing,
they will in another, and can you
believe them at all in the end?
Buy the Hodge header, the Queen
binder, the Harvester King combined
machine, and the Hodge and Key
stone mowers and rakes, and you will
buy from independent companies,
who are not fattening and feeding off
of the farmers, but who believe In
living and let live, and who are SELF
ing their goods $500 to $50 cheaper
than the trust goods.
Give US your order now, subject to
lcrop conditions and we will protect
lyou.
Don't you think, Notwithstanding
There was a little hail, yet that did not
strike all parts of the country, but it
was enough, and we pity the farmers
whose crops were damaged, but
really, don't you think it is better to
commence fixing up your machines
now, buying such extras as you will
need rivets, double pointed tacks,
Ichisels, punches, oil cans and oil, and
canvasses and Stats, betting and such
Eother things as you will need to have
Everything prepared and in readiness.
A stitch in time saves nine, an
extra put on in time saves many an
hour of idleness to a gang of men.
| Don't you think you had better
take home one of our Quick Meal
gasoline stoves to your wife, so she
will not sizz and stew over the cook
stove during the hot summer days.
| Take home White Lily, or Ocean
Wave washing machine. This is the
thing that will give her strength in
stead of sickness, and get her a
wringer and closhes line.
And now leave your order for
binding twine. We sell both the
penitentiary and the regular twine.
Also pitch forks, rakes and all kinds
of machinery needed, and extras.
If you have few days before
harvest, we can sell you some paint
already mixed which is the Lincoln OF
! Sewall, for use on the inside or out
side or both of your house and barn
Wallpaper to make neat and nice
for little money the rooms of your
house, and you had better think OF
some more dishes, cups and saucers
and cots for the hands. Don't wait
until it is too late.
We are selling the Eldridge anc
] Seamstress sewing machines which
] are SO cheaper than the old line
] and do just as good work.
You are after saving money. Yor
! can do it by getting these goods OF
US. Have your house spouted and save
the rain water. Drink it and you will
{ feel better and have better health
and save buying SO much paten
medicine.
Why not protect your life and the
lives of your family by having US put
on lightning rod which we guarantee
& to protect your life, and will refund
your money if it does not. You have
seen houses without rods struck by
lightning, but you have never heard
of one which was properly roded
being struck.
You insure your house, barn, stock
and yourself but you pay no attention
to the small sum of money it would
cost to rod your house and save your
life and the lives of your wife and
chill lren.
Let US rod it with genuine thirty
strand all copper rod, which will cost
from $50 to $50. You will feel much
easier when the rain comes, and
lightning strikes.
Say farmer, get the boy or girl a
E kodak and let them take pictures OF
the farm, and different scenes sur
rounding it. Paste the picture in a
book and they viii be the incest
things to look at in the future, that
