FINANCIAL WORRY
Doesn't Keep People From Eating.

No use weeping, keep on eating and
let the Wall street fellows walk the
floor. The general business of the
country is on a safe, sound, solid and
sensible basis. Don't compare this with
'93, when everybody was poor, and
there was little in the country to eat,
but think of the condition now. Rail-
roads cannot handle the business.
There has been some undesirable finan-
ciering way down east. A lot Of fell
lows have had frequent brain storms.
1t means fewer monkey dinners, less
watered stock, and more common
sense in the financial world. Solitaire
canned goods, Ribbon coffee, Upto-
Date Flour and Cooper Wagons are
safe investments, always in demand
and are good staples.
Eighty millions of people are still
eating, while a few are weeping. We
want your business. Keep your cour
