LETTER TO ]. P. GREENLEY
Greenville, Miss

Dear Sir: How did you get your
business? Well tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint
perhaps we can do a good turn to
ourselves, you and we, by swapping
experiences.
We began I52 years ago in a little
shop a few-r1inutes walk from where
we are now; a great many things have
happened, we don't remember them
all. We made as good paint as we
could and learned to make better
We are the oldest now; we don't
know whether we had any teacher or
not; it's so long ago; if we had, he's
gone and forgotten. We should have
been forgotten, if we hadn't made
good paint and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that; if you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick; if you
make hit, you can push it quick.
We've had to go slow; it's hard to
pick-out ones own mistakes, and
llOlIltllS DQl run ~ NItI NNl TIC ms
takes OF others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears long time. What a
| comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable!
! We also have a unique advantage
unique, you know, means that no
body else has anything like it. We
make strong paint that takes less
gallons, saves half the cost of paint
/ ing your house, and it's like that
leather of yours for wear. 1t IS al
paint and the strongest OF paint
Paint IS usually adulterated and weak
| We're very old, but we make young
| paint one gallon IS better than two
if it has the stuff in it.
Yours truly,

The Way 10 Do II

When placing letters upon college
flags, banners and emblems it is not
necessary to go TO the trouble OF nlling
and padding the outline. Letters can be
obtained al fancy work shops and it is
an easy matter to embroider about
these well formed letters in simple over
and-over stitch. SILK. linen, or cotton can
be used Baste the form OF the letter
firmly along the edges and then work
over the form and through the material
to be ornamented. II more than one de-
sign Is 10 be used IL viii not come amiss

THE VALUE Or CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it in i'm
 Isrcserviag Health and Reaufy.

Nearly everybody knows -hat char coal is the safest and most efficient few realize it's value when taken int the human system for the same cleans
 Charcoal is remedy that the more drug at all. but simply absorbs he gases and impurities always preEent in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effeetualiy clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antisep- tics in tablet form or rather in the form charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex lion, sWeeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great oenef1t. |.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T ad- yiso stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe the liver Is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores and although Tn some sense q patent preparation. yet l believe I get more and better charcoal in Stu arts Charcoal Losenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.
