The above illustration is the main
building of the Kemper- Paxton Mercan-
tile Company, Kansas City, Mo-, who are
leaders in Modern Methods OF Merchan-
dising.
They have enjoyed wonderful growth
and attribute their success to the mod
ern plan of doing business, to liberal adj
vertising in reputable papers which go
into the home of the consumer, to the
high standard of quality of the goods
they distribute and their prompt and
courteous manner of dealing with their
patrons.
rect sales from factory to user at factory
prices for cash. and one price to every
buyer, large or small. One institution
where every want of the consumer can be
satisfied at the minimum price.
To carry out this plan the kemper-
Paxton Company located their main
| warehouses and offices in Kansas City,
| where they can reach every secton Oh the
United States. Canada and Mexico
They buy, import and manufacture ana
| collect in their Kansas City warehouses
| every kind of merchandise and from there
distribute it to their customers ana tnelr

as well as the large buyer.
/ Not only is vast sum of money IN
| vested. but an army of men. all special
| lists i'm their particular mercantile nne
are kept busy attending to all the details
| distributing the products of many rae
tories.
The fact that this company almost
doubles it's volume of business each year
indicates that this plan of consolidating
| every line OF business into one big insh-
tuition. Is appreciated by the millions or
shrewd buying people OF the tnstee
States .
This plan affords the people OF the
Smaller towing and rural districts the
same advantage the buyer enjoys In the
large cities where there are numerous
retail stores handling all kinds OF goods.

assurance that if they are not pleased it
does not cost them one penny. The KEN
per-Paxton Company do this and do it
because they believe in honest people and
honest goods.
The large Catalog which this company
publishes and distributes free to any adult
who asks for it, is wonderful book of
nearly 500 pages with thousands of illus
trations of merchandise of every deScrip-
ton.
1t costs nearly $1.00 to print and mail
but it is complete store in itself and is
a salesman that is busy for at least one
year and it is a very economical sales
man, too. 1t is called for in such great
quantities that large modern printing
plant is kept busy every working day in
the year and as soon as one edition is
completed another one is begun. They
are constantly changing and keep up to
date in Styles prices and new goods.
A force of artists. engravers and pho
tographers are constantly at work making
illustrations of the thousands of articles
of merchandise listed in this catalog.
Everything is done on a large yet eco
nomical scale and the smallest orders re-
ceive exactly the same prompt careful
attention as the larger ones.
The system necessary to conduct such

busy people.
The thousands of letters addressed to

vENEERED TREE PROTECTORS

Our readers will notice an adver-
tisement of the Hart Pioneer Nur-
series, of TT. Scott, Kans., running
in this paper, regarding an improved
Veneered "Tree Protector"
We have seen sample of these
protectors, and judging from the high
class of testimonials that this firm
furnishes, they evidently are good
thing and will do all that they claim
of them, such as protecting trees
from mice, borers, rabbits. hot winds,
sun scald, etc.
We notice testimonials from some
of the largest orchardists in the coun-
try, who are using them, also from
leading horticulturists and secretaries
of many horticultural societies, adco-
eating the protectors.
Ii any of our readers have trees or
shrubs to protect, they will do well to
correspond with the above firm and
get their circulars and samples.
