"Moneybak" Black Silk
 Th. Got Xhe Waars aOd Sa t;SF;as
The Sort that Wears an,


 Only expert weavers are employed in the production of "Moneybak" Silks. But the most expert can have no control of atmospheric and other conditions, so when piece of 'Moneybak' leaves the loom, it is tested. Failing in the test it is cast aside to meet it's fate in the open market of competition If approved, the name Money bak' is attached by the means of patented device on a ribbon Selvage.
 Costly care? Yes; but the manufacturers of 'Moneybak' hold the confidence and satisfaction of dealers and consumers above all cost for to lose such confidence is to lose an invaluable manufac turing asset.
 So, you see, it is no false or flimsy security that "Moneybak stands for Dyes that prove pure are the sort that only an unweighed silk dare use.
 Fourteen thousand four hundred threads to every inch is the quality weight of "Moneybak." :" Now weigh this carefully, impartially and fairly, and we think you will consider that "Moneybak" Silk carries fair price, everything considered.

The Post Offices New Location.

Work is being done on the Lam

arranged his plans for the
new place. The lobby will be
very convenient for the general
public and the work room will af-

Portable place
On the left will be the post

Directly facing the doorway will be

Two doors will open from the
lobby into the inner rooms. One
OH the left to the postmaster g

clerks entrance.
The moving of the postolfice
marks the beginning Of a new era
in the postotfice affairs for San

grown its infancy and may now
be considered full grown. Things
will be departmeutized and the
affairs of the office conducted on
the same scale as those Of the
Offices of larger cities. There
will not be the all-together work

his own duties and attend tt
them and to them alone. All Of
which is but an indication of the
