The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1909-07-08

1T has always been our aim to
give the most for the least
money. Those who have been
our patrons for years can best
attest this statement, those
who have never purchased our
ready-to-wear Clothing, Hats
and Furnishings we ask that
you call and see our line before
buying, look over the VALUES
we are Offering, this is the
BEST TEST and your Judge
ment will tell you that we have
spoken the absolute truth when
we say that our REGULAR
PRICE is even lower than
other stores sale prices, and
which will also prove to you the
great saving that people make
In buying at our store In regu-
ular season. Remember it's an
easy matter to cut prices when
they were "Sky High" origin
ally. OF course we believe in
closing out "Odds and Ends"
whenever they appear in stock,
but when we do close them out
the price Is low enough to make
a quick job of it. 1t always has
been the policy of this store to
put the "price down" to where
''it belongs" at the beginning
of the season when people
mostly need and buy clothing.
This moves our stock quick,
keeps it clean and fresh the
year around. Extravagant
claims are never INDUCED in by
this store, the facts as above
stated, are so clear that no man
can logically afford TO ignore
them.

Obituary..

Drusilla Kaminer was born Dec. 49,,
1949, and died Dec. 7, 1905, making
her earthly stay IS years, IL months
and 1S days.
She was baptized in infancy and be-
came a member of New Horeb church
when it was first organized and re-
manned a faithful member until death.
She leaves to mourn her departure a
husband, four sons and two daugh-
ters, one son having preceded her to
the grave. Her remains we're laid to
rest in New Horeb cemetery in the
presence Of a large number of rela-
tives and friends.
Through all pain at tines she'd smile,
A smile of heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our sainted mother sleeps.

Rhines is now vice president of a

caught for Cincinnati for still another
year after Rhines left.
