Letter to q. L. Creexer.
Thurmont, Md.
Dear Sir: Two years ago, Mr.. Grant Smith,
Erie Pa, painted three frame houses, and the
woodwork of brick house.
The painter estimated $116.50 for the
paint, lead snd-oll.
He bought Devoe $97 40 and returned I'll
60. Saved $81.10 on the paint.
Don't know the cost Of the work. BY the
rule, the saving of labor would be from $50
to 800. On all, from 500 to $40 This is
the tale, as 1t comes from Messrs W F Nick
& Son, our agents there for 40 years.
Yours truly

CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK

The Easton Star Democrat says that
major VIM. E. Stewart found in the
list Of dormant accounts in the Eutaw
Savings Bank Of Baltimore the sum Of
$27.9O due Maj Stewart. He had lived
10 Baltimore from 1868 to 1876 and at
times deposited money in the Eutaw Sa
wings Bank. He received very cour.
teous letter from the Treasurer Of the
bank, stating that the balance to his
credit at the last withdrawal In 1875.
amounted to 6S CENTS which Was
80 years ago that the interest period
showed SOIL interest due. increasing
the balance to $l0.79 and from this bal.
ance hia account has grown. This shows
that in 30 years a very little money in
a Savings Bank is very profitable in
vestment."
The above is only one of many cases where
a very little money placed in a Savings Bank
and allowed TO remain uhdisturbed for 4 term
of years soon amounts to surprisingly large
sum 1t is more especially so If you keep add
ing to II and then compound your interest
every siv months just try 1t. Open an &C
coun, In our Savings Department, where w
ray 81 per cent interest end then add TO 1t as
you can also add your interest every six
months-,t will surprise you how 1t grows.

Missouri and Wisconsin. In the two

not likely that he will take his seat in

DON'T BE DECEIVED

The International Harvester Co.,
comprising the Mccormick, Deering,
Osborne, Plano, Champion, and Mil
waukee Companies are sending out
printed matter through the different
fam papers, educating. as they say,
the farmers to what they ought to buy,
and the advantages of their machines
over all other machines, and stating
that they own their own forests. iron
mines, and steel plants, and that they
can make their machines from the
ground up, as they have the material;
but they do not state, with all the
monopoly that they control, that they
are going to sell their machines any
cheaper or that their machines are
going to be made better than any
others. Everyone knows that they
are after the whole hog or none.
That is, they stated in Convention
some time ago. that they were going
to take away the canvassers so they
would not bother the farmer, and in
that way, they would reduce the price,
but have you had any reduction yet?
No. They are after it all, and if they
could wipe out competition, they
would put the price still higher.
Don't be bamboozled, hornswoggled,
or hood winked by this octupus.
They are slick fellows. They will be
talking smoothly to your face, telling
you what they are going 20 do, and
while they are entertaining you, they
have both hands in your pockets, tax
ing every dolles you have, and if they
could, weuld have you mortgaged
for the next five years.
Ne speak plainly, and to the point
and give the facts, just as they are
and want you farmers to realize tbs
situation you are getting into if you
patronize them.
Now there would be something II
it if they would give you just as gooe
machines for less money, but they
don / do it, and if they don't do il
now. do you think they will do
when they have everything else tiee
up?
