WHEN PROSPERITY VAN|SHES.

Brookville is now going through its
darkest time for years. Among the in
dustries that heretofore have been nun
bered among its assets, were the ivy
ford Motor works, which now have
closed down. The Red Bank woolen
mills are closed. The Brookville glass
and tile works are between the order of
starting up and closing down. The work
men in these plants have gone to other
points to find employment. Outside of
these are several planning mills, the
Humphrey Brick and Tile works, the
Deemer furniture factory, all working
full time and one or two minor plants
which employ a few men each. There
are from 80 to 20 dwelling houses vacant,
which makes the outlook for the town
very dark In addition to these dwelling
houses, there are and will be several
store rooms vacant.
The above article, appearing in the
Brookville correspondence to Grit Satur-
day, shows that the county seat is noY
passing through the same stygian gloom
that encompassed Reynoldsville two
years ago. 1t is to be hoped that, like
Reynoldsville, it may emerge with a
better and brighter future than ever.

BURNS, CUTS, BRUISES
San Cura ointment Stops Pain at Once,
Draws Out All Poisons, and Heals
Promptly

In all the world there is no ointment, no
liniment no remedy for burns, cuts and
bruises that can compare with the
antiseptic ointment called San Cura.
Every person ought to have jar on
hand; it is the first and best aid to the
injured in case OF accident and is the ideal
remedy for so many other distressing and
painful ailments besides.
For example: it is guaranteed by Stoke
Il Feicht Drug Co. to cure itching, bleed
ing and protruding piles. eczema, letter,
ulcers, salt rheum, boils, carbuncles and
pimples, or money back.
In case of old or running sores, no matter
how long standing, few poultices of San
Cura ointment will draw out every
particle of poison, and leave it in such a
thoroughly antiseptic condition that the
sore will heal, never to break open again.
We advise every reader to get jar of
San Cura ointment to-day and keep it
ready for any accident or emergeny that
may happen. 25 cents and 80 cents at
Stoke q Feicht Drug Co., on the money

Reynoldsville Merchants are Of

Jefferson County.
VISIT THE STORES TODAY
AND SEE THE DISPLAYS

The stores of Reynoldsville will
probably do the largest holiday bnsi-
ness this year of any place in the
county, due in part to the prevailing
prosperity of the town and in part to
the holding of the county institute in
Reynoldsville this year, which will
bring an influx of guests Immediately
preceding the holidays and stimulate
trade in all channels. The merchants
have prepared for the occasion by lay
ing in the largest and finest lines of
goods they have ever handled
1t is worth visit to any local store
at present to see these lines in their
completeness. And local people who
are wise will visit them NOW for
another reason. The fact that the
town will be full of visitors during the
holidays, on account of the institute,
means that there will be congestion
of trade which will make it far less
pleasant to shop then than now, to say
nothing of being forced at that time
to select from broken lines, while all
lines are now full and for the most
part but recently from the factories.
For your own advantage, do your
holiday shopping NOW and DO 1T IN
REYNOLDSVILLE, where the finest
lines in the county have been secured
for you. There is no excuse what
ever for local people going to other
towns to shop this season.

results are worth the trouble.
