summer her landscape is dotted
with the varying bues of great
fialds of corn, wheat, oats, timothy.
clover and all other plants that Can
be grown in the temperate zone
The great productiveness of her soil
has drawn here some of the most en-.
srgetic and progressive farmers to be
found anywhere. They are not only
willing, but anxious, to try whatever
SHOWS promise of being beneficial to
them. They want and must have the
best varieties of seeds and the best i'm
plements to put them in the ground
and till the soil. When the crops
are yesdy for the harvest, they mus.
have the best machinery to care for
it, whether it be mower, binder or
corn harvester. They must have the
best rakes and stackers for their hay;
the best wagons on which to haul
away the harvested crop; the best
buggies and carriages when they go
away for pleasure, and the best mar
kat for their surplus crops.
1t might seem strange to some, but
Laclede has one man who is able to
supply all these needs, yet such is the
case, and only stranger to the
county would need to ask his name.
For thirty-nine long years-not long
to him, for he has been too busy to
note the flight of time-the name of
Peter F. Felt, of Laclede, has meant
to the farmers of this and adjoining G
counties the man who sold honest
goods at honest prices-the man. who
sold more farming implements than
anybody else, and who sold nothing
that he could not guarantee. And
the farmers have appreciated it.
They know that he is always ready
to make good anything that might
fall short of what it WAS represented
to be. His guarantee means that the
material and workmanship are what
they should be.
Mr.. Felt huys heir surplus grain
of all kinds and pays all the market
will justify. In the past six mouths
he has paid out over 100000 to farm
ess for grain and seeds. He does a
retail business in seeds, also, and if
you want the best varieties to plant
this spring, be can supply yon.
A visit to Mr.. Felt's establishment
will surprise and please you. The
Office building ON North Main street
is 2Ox1OO feet. The office proper is
uiceIy furnished and fitted up.
Above it is his undertaking depart
ment, for Mr.. Felt is also an expert
in that line, and can put you under
ground in most scientific manner.
In the rear of the building is Ware
room No. l, filed with buggies, car
riages, phaetons, surreys, ETC., all SO
arranged that it only takes mo-
ment's time to remove them. Across
the street is Warehouse No. 2, 24x50
feet, filled with vehicles similar to
those in No. 1.
About two blocks east, near the K.
G.. tracks, he has another row of
buildings. The one on the west is 20
x8O and is just now filed with wheat.
The main building is S0x10O feet and
