The firm known as Smith, Buser
Co. was organized about five or
six years ago and started in The
brick building vacated by Mr.. Reiger,
The Sunlight Store. as 1t was called,
oon became the stopping place not
only for farmers but also the town
people.
Business grew so rapidly that the
firm finally realized that in order
to do justice. not only to their Gus
toners but also 10 themselves SO
last month they purchased the large
brick building right north of their old
place of business. Now they have
the finest business house in town
and strangers coming To Dawson have
said. well | didn't know Dawson
had iush 4 fine store building but
yes she has and we are proud of IT,.
The beautiful show windows, when
decorated will greatly add to the
appearance of their already attractive
store.
But the outside is not the only
beautiful part of this store. On
entering the door to the southeast
the first thing that attracts our at
tention is the large ribbon case with
every color one could possibly think
of and on walking farther we notice
the shelves of dress goods, etc,
We ca hardly leave this place but
we must move ON for this is not
all. Now we see steps which lead
to the second floor, where are kept
many useful things. Right TO the
side of these steps ON the first
floor are large eases containing mems
hats, always the very latest, for
Smith. Buser Co. Is TO be an up-to-
date store. The store Is divided
as It were into two parts, one mostly
dry goods and the other groceries
and shoes. On passing from the
dry goods to the other department
we pass two large cases IN which
are kept notions of different kinds.
My, that large ease containing that
nice candy does look awful tempting.
also those nice juicy oranges.
Only one objection | have TO this
store and that is it always makes
me hungry TO see 81 many good
things around. Those cookiesl Did
you ever taste them2 II moi just
try them. Now | must say you don't
know how you like a thing until
you have tried ii, so if you hayn't
tried Smith-Buser's cookies yet
just try them and see how well pleas
ed you will be with everything.
Now let me say that one thing
which is bound to drive customers
away from a store is cranky clerks,
but how many of this kind do you
find at Smith, Buser Cos, not one,
for they always have something kind
to say and the proprietor always has
a joke of some kind to give his
customers. Many more beautiful
and useful articles are found in this
store but before leaving the store
from the north entrance, | ust call
your attention to the shelves loaded
with shoes, and | do want to win a
pair of those shoes. for the last pair
we got fro this store were certainly
good ones.
Now there are lots of other things
about this store that | have not
entioned, but go into this building
and see for yourself and Mr.. Sith
will welcome you and ask you TO
call again but you will have al
ready made up your mind TO be a
frequent caller. NORA KEAN.

I think Mr.. Smith has a good store.
It is better then he just moved out
of. Just before he moved he sold
out all his old goods and bought a
large new stock. He has a nicer
stock of goods than he had before.
His store is on the west side of

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 1S-The football
team that wins here tomorrow-Yale
or Harvard-will take place not only
as undisputed champions of the. east,
but among the great teams in the his
tory of the sport.
If Yale wins she will have shown a
resiliency, courage. against odds and
ability not only to will, but to do,
that, although these things have al
ways been part of the very name of
Yale, will mark her 1910 eleven as the
| pluckiest fighting team she ever put
| out.
If Harvard wins she will only estab-
lish more firmly the reputation she has
been making all season. Her game has
been solid in the fundamentals, alert
and ingenious in offense and rigid in
defense If her form at New Haven
tomorrow equals what she has shown
in other games and she wins conclu-
sively, her performance will be a
tribute to Percy Haughton, the head
choach, that must place him among
the ma sters of the game and his team
as one of the smoothest moving, re-
sourceful and efficient of football ma
chimes.
Yale always plays here best against
Harvard. Whatever the team has in it
comes out in the last game of the
season. OuC Ine1e nave Deen L ale
games before this where Harvard ruled
favorite in the betting and paid the
long end of the money when time was
called for the last half.
Against Dartmouth, Cornell and
Brown this year Harvard has never
been forced to extend herself.
Yale, considered an Indifferent third
rate team until last Saturday, rose up
then and defeated Princeton, despite
unfavorable betting odds of 2 to l.
Harvard is the favorite as she logi-
cally ought to be. Coaches in both
camps claim victory.
From applications received for
tickets it seems probable that 100000
persons will flock to the field tonor-
row if there are seats enough to hold
them But that is precisely what the
athletic committees in charge do not
want. They fear TO commercialize the
game There will be scarcely enough
room for graduates and undergraduates
of both schools.
The game will have a strong infu
ence on new football" If Harvard
should win, Coach Percy Haughton and
the other ''progresSives" would gain
added power in the councils to be held
this winter on the rules. If Yale wins
her opposition to the forward pass
which she has accepted and with which
she won at Princeton last Saturday,
both of which she does not approve
will be correspondingly more powerful.
The following lineup of the team was
