GOOD CLOTHES.

It is often puzzling tn ing to the layman, to walk into one clothing store and find suit or coat he likes, at one price, and find after he has purchased it, apparently the same thing in an- other store for less money. Yet the explanation is simple one. The big woolen mills sell to many makers of clothes, and the most popular patterns are widely distributed. But while some makers strive to put out clothing tha merely look well, and skip every detail of the making which tends to add per manency to style or to wear, others use the best grades of canvas, hair cloth and stays and put lot of extra tailoring and extra handwork into their clothing. These extras do not show on the outside, but they have everything to do with the shape-keeping and wear Ing qualities of the garment. For these better-made suits and overcoats man is asked to pay perhaps dollar or two more than he would for garments made of the same cloth in another store; but the extra dollar or two means the difference between satis- faction and disappointment. A distin- gushing feature of Meigs & Co.'s clothes has always been large meas- ure of extra tailoring, extra handwork, extra quality of trimmings and extra fine finish, the essentials of good
 clothes, and this is one reason why Meigs & Go. 5 clothing has more style, fits better, wears longer and ho Ids its shape better than the average.

You can secure ALL the benefits of cod liver oil without having to endure the various distresses which accompany the taking of the plain oil. The dis agreeable mouth rolling, the constant taste of fish, in the mouth, the ris- ing of gas in the throat and the up- setting of the stomach, which are caused by taking cod liver oil plain, are all entirely unnecessary.

GRAPE HARVEST IS
AT ITS ZENITH
Over 100000 Baskets Being
Shipped From Paw
Paw Daily.
PRICE HIGHER THAN EXPECTED
on the Track For From 13 to
10 Gents Each.

From sunrise until long after sunset
the thousands of acres of vineyards pour
their purple, luscious punches, confined
in prisons ranging from four pound
basket to bushel crate, into the cspa-
cious maws Of refrigerator cars and are
sent spinning over the steel ribbons to
all parts OF this great country.
And when you realize that Paw Paw
is shipping over 100000 baskets daily
for a season that lasts about six weeks
and that it is only one of several towns
in this corner of Van Buren county that
comprises the 10000 acre grape belt,
you cannot but stop and wonder who
drinks all the wine and grape juice and
who eats ali the grapes and all the jelly
and other dishes made from this deli
cious fruit.
The grape situation here is just as it
should be. The labor question is solved
by everybody getting into the harness
aud earning the 81 80 per day. Grapes
are great social leveler. The bankers
son and the jolly tramp work side by
side; the merchants daughter and the
poor working girl joke and deftly handle
the purple clusters at the same packing
table, and they all seem healthy and
happy.
The basket famine, which caused so
much uneasiness earlier in the season,
has largely passed away, as the grower
realizes that the holding back of the
crop from lack of baskets has caused
the price to stifen, and the prospects
now are that the whole crop will be
marketed at a much better figure than
was at first anticipated. Grapes are
now worth from S22 to $50 per ton and
eight pound baskets from 13 to ID cents
on the track. We have a half dozen
growers within a radius of four miles
from Paw Paw, any one of whom could
supply juice factory or load a train of
80 cars alone, in addition to the hun
dreds of small growers. And this great
CROP estimated by competent judges at
| 100000 baskets, is being handled by
the different companies, associations
and unions economically and success
! fully.
And he said let there be grapes and
there are grapes.

JUICE FACTORY
STARTED MONDAY
500 Tons of Grapes Contracted
Will Make Over Is, 900
Gallons of Juice.
MAKE ONLY PURITAN" BRAND
Rich Dark Purple Color and of Elk
cellent Quality. Factory
Employs % Men.

The Paw Paw Grape uice factory will
be a busy place for the next four or five
weeks. The work of securing the sea-
sons supply of juice commenced last
Monday. The management have con-
tracted to date 500 tons of Copcords,
which is an excess of $50 tons more than
was used last year. The manager, Mr..
Miller, states that they may contract
about 100 tons more making in all 600
tons of fruit. Twenty-Five men are EN-.
ployed there, and it will take this force
four or five weeks to press that amount
of grapes. Six hundred tons of fruit
will make from $4,000 to 100000 gallons
of iuice. AS the grapes are pressed the
Juice runs into large vat in the base
ment. From there it is pumped into
large kettles, where it is heated, then
Theoretically sealed in five gallon jugs
and put away in the storage rooms
where it will remain until time for bot
tling.
But one brand will be made this year.
1t is called the puritan" and is of a
rich dark purple color. 1t will be ship
ped IN car load lots to the several dis
/
tributing points located at Memphis
Tenn, Little Rock, Ark, Kansas City
! Mo, Pittsburg, Pa, and Philadelphia,
Pa. The company will employ from rs
to 100 travelling statesmen, and it is ex
pected that the entire output of the
factory will be sold early 10 the winter
The grapes this season are excellent
in quality, being large, juicy and of fine
flavor. This, of course, will enhance the
value of the juice. Growers like to sell
at the factory, as it does away with the
trouble of packing into baskets. The
fruit is simply put into crates or boxes
and drawn to the factory.
All indications point to a successful
and profitable season for the grape Juice
company.
