Hello, Brother Farmers!

. Good leather stock has advanced five
to ten cents a pound but you must not
think that this advance fixes the pres
ent prices of good harness in Austin or
that it places harness out of your reach.
The fact is that, our prices are. not
raised at all to compare with the ad-
vance in leather stocks. You need
not think that you must send away to
get lowest prices. Poor harness is al
ways dear and you can buy good har-
ness at reasonable prices right hele.
Don't ask simply how cheap a harness
is but also how poor. You are nothing
ahead by sending away your money,
If you do, not wish to buy of me, buy
of some other home dealer. I empha,

away below what the high prices of
