Mr.. v. j. Greiner informs The Maple
ton Enterprise that on February first
the Peoples Store will be incorporat-
ed under the laws of the state with
capital stock of $4,000 of which amount
$4,000 will be paid in. The incorpora-
tors will be Mr.. Greiner, Miss Laura
Greiner, George A. Dutoit, the well known
capitalist of Chaska, and H. F. Troost
of Mankato, a travelling salesman for
Lindeke, Warner & Sons. The object
of the incorporation is to carry out an
idea proposed by Mr.. Greiner to estab-
lish a chain of stores, believing that
better prices can be secured from
wholesalers in buying for several stores
than for one. In buying large lots
better assortment can be obtained, and
at the same time better terms made,
all of which will reach to the bene-
fit of the local trade.

Taking Desperate Chances


It is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. It
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy, famous for it's cures
of colds, can be had for a. trife? For
