some delay in calling out others. be-

THE DIGGING OF pos1.HoLEs
A Company Located Here to Intro
duce the Ideal Post-hole Digger
in This State.

You have often seen a man try
to dig a post-hole with a spade and
the great amount of labor that he
eXpends in the operation. With the
spade he has to dig the hole about
twice as large as he wants it and
has to excavate a lot of ground that
is unnecessary, not to mention the
laborious part of the performance.
The work is lessened by using an
auger handled by the Ideal Post-Hole
Digger Co., which has located here
for the purpose of introducing an
implement of this character. The
company is Differed by j. w. Beam
er, president, and A. A. Hoylman,
secretary-treasurer. Their Offices
are on the second floor at 2O2 Main
street, where they will be pleased to
show this new tool.
1t is we'll said that with this you
can dig all day and dance all night"
1t pays for itself in nine hours. 1t
is the only digger in the world that
feeds itself into the earth. By using
the 'Ideal'' you don't have to scratch
and scrape around in the hole to get
the dirt out, like the old-fashioned
tool of this character. 1t takes all
the earth out at once and leaves a
perfect round hole. In a word. it is
a light. neat, complete digger, and
with IL Won can mt down thraa tin,oc
the number of holes with less than
half the work.
The company has a new advertise
ment in The Republican today, to
which we desire to call the attention
of our readers.
