To Our Trade and Friends.

On and after February LIST we have
arranged to change our plan of doing
business to a cash basis, opening ac-
counts with only those who arrange fer
same by note payable at specified
time.
For years we have tried the credit
business but find former methods are
not adequate to the present. Goods
now are sold on an entirely different
plan. Cash buyers buy where they can
buy the cheapest, and in order to meet
this class of trade we are compelled to
buy and sell for cash. Everything in
the hardware line is advancing in price
and manufacturers are greatly Behind
in filling orders, but Notwithstanding
these facts by buying and selling for
cash and contracting for goods before
advances for 1907 were made, we will
be able to furnish our trade with goods
at very little advance for sometime to
come
We are now receiving three carloads
of field fencing, barbed wire and
nails, all Of which have advanced sever
al times in the market since we made
our contract, and we are prepared to
make liberal offer to our trade during
the month of January, giving special
prices far below the market value.
Contracts must be made before Febru-
airy LIST, after which time the price will
be advanced to the market value Farm
ers contemplating buying field fence
would find it to their interest to place
their orders at once. Besides the adj
vantage given in price our fencing this
year is better galvanized and made
with stronger stays. Please do not
forget these special offers are for this
month.
Respectfully yours,
Al st J. M. DAVIS & Sons.

Barbarous Treatment of GroOms.

One of our exchanges observes as
follows: Some of the young men are
still engaged in the laudable pastime of
making marriage ridiculous. Instead
Of treating bridegroom and his bride
with the respect and consideration that
belong to a pair newly welded,
the wedding is turned into a circus
and buffoonery Of a contemplate sort.
The tagging of the bridal coach and the
placarding of the house are jokes so an
cient and musty that it is remarkable
that any persons who do not wish to be
placed in the category Of witless should
perpetrate them. Everett Republican.

Honest graft will reach its highest
