THERE'S A REASON"
A Famous Advertisers Phrase is APP
pIicabe to HeIIberg's Success in the
Watch Business.

After all it's confidence that counts.
When we believe that merchant
means what he says, that he will de-
liver the goods according to their wall
ue and tell you the truth about them
we are willing to take his judgment
and pay the price. This is what hap
pened for instance at Hellbergs store
this week. A good, substantial Ger
man farmer wanted to buy watch.
He asked Hellberg about various
kinds. Hellberg told him they were all
good, but he didn't carry certain kinds.
Mr.. German wanted to know why he
didn't carry them if they were good
and Hellberg told him frankly he
thought he had something better. Some
of the movements cost little more
but We're worth it. His customer took
plenty of time to look around but
came back and bought an expensive
movement. He had faith in what He'll
berg told him.
The same is true of Hellberg's
watch repairing business. He does the
to fix watch and regulate it in two
or three hours. He learned the trade
properly in the old country and knows
that he can't do good job in that
time nor can anyone else. When he
repairs a watch it is right and stays
right and There's a reason"

FIRE IN OLD BoTTLING WORKS.
Bernstein Bros. Sustain Loss in Blaze
ate Thursday NIGHT

A fire in the old Bernstein Bros. bot
ting works, at IL o'clock Thursday
night, caused a loss estimated by
Charles Bernstein at $1,000. The blaze
is believed to have originated from a
stove in which a fire had been built
on Thursday. Bottling machinery,
which had not been used for some
time, was damaged by water, and Mr..
Bernstein thinks that the loss will be
about equally divided between machin-
cry and building. Insurance Of SLIGO
was carried on the property.

companied by wind, which would have
caused it to drift badly. The MAXI
mum temperature Thursday was %
above zero. The minimum last night
was 10 above, and at 1880 o'clock this
