II we should decide to change our
method Of selling Sewing Machines and
buy several horses and wagons, hire
smooth talking statesmen to canvass the
town and country for u.s. paying them
a guaranteed salary Of $40 or $50 q
month, all expenses and liberal COM
mission on all machines sold over a
certain number about six-each
month, and charge the purchasers $50
for the machine we are now offering
for Fifteen Dollars. spot cash. do you
really think the machine itself would
be any more valuable, do any better
work, last longer or run lighter than 1t
would If you bought it at our store for
Fifteen Dollars, cash.
If we change our plan Of reaching
the purchaser from the present to the
one indicated above, we could not let
them go for less than s35 more money
than we are now asking. In other
words the buyers of machines from
our out t-side statesmen, would be ex-
pected to pay their proportion for the
horses, wagons, statesmen, and a por-
ton Of our losses through bad trading,
besides living profit" for US.
We know that our SIS machine will
do as good work, run as light and last
as long as any machine on the market,
regardless Of price, and that our guar
antee Is as good and as strong as any
body's.
We have never been in England, but
we have information so straight that
we are bound to believe 1t to be cor
rect, that so-called high grade sew
ing machines that are manufactured
and sold in the United States at from
$50 to SIS a piece, and are no better
than our SIS machine, sell for from $14
to s1S in England. The reason Is that
England is a free trade country and
outsiders as result come in and COM
pete with home manufacturers Of sew
ing machines and everything else and
sell their wares on their merits.
II the American manufacturer Of
sewing machines can pay freight and
other expenses necessary 10 market
their goods 5000 miles from home. and
make a profit, does 1t not seem reason
able that they could sell them at the
same price to home folks and make a
profit.
Even though our logic does not en-
tirely convince you Of the reasonable
ness of our claim, suppose you call at
our place of business and examine our
machines before buying one at a high
er price.

A low shoe OF fairly -hued tan. with

Some OF these days pretty soon, when
the snow gets of the ground and the
streets get cleaned q bit, the town is
going to wake up TO the fact that
Spring is here. And the masculine
part of it, inspired by the seeking OF
gowns and chapeaux by tho other half
is going to discover that the hats and
coats and shoes and things it's been
wearing all winter are shabby and out
Of date, and to wonder what's what for
the balmy season.
In the first place, the impecunious
who have semi-new suits left over from
last year needn't be alarmed about
what they're going to do. They won't
have to hang up" anything TO get new
ones. There isn't a great lot Of change
to the ordinary walking or business
garments.
The Proper Suits to Wear.
sack coats are a trine longer and ht
somewhat snugger to the shoulders and
breast The shoulders are still OF the
5erculean type. They probably are
responsible for some Of the recent riots
In The cotton market. The extra price
of the padding is made up for by econ
omy in the matter OF buttons. Three
seem 10 be enough this year.
Trousers appear TO be coming down
gradually TO normal width again. There
is a saving of a yard or two Of material
in the upper part Of the legs. Waist
coats are about the same as ever
double breasted ones with lapels and
single breasted ones without. The
opening Of the top is a bit lower than
heretofore.
Waistcoats OF hues that disturb the
peace are not permissible. however. 1t
is not au fait TO wear wallpaper de-
signs any more. Light brown, steel. or
gun-metal color are all right, but that's
the limit.
OF course. dark colors are the thing
for ordinary sack suits, but the real
lively youths will flash gray and steel
and brown upon the admiring populace.
Brown is having quite a run.
In fact, man who can wear COM
plete brown outft from head to foot
will be the real thing after Easter, for
shoes and hats and even shirts and
ties Of that color are coming to the
front strong.
