a lapse of 10 or IA years, we are

A very important part of bicycle
is the pneumatic tires, since their
invention by an Irishman (who is
still Iiving) about Is years ago, we
have had many a blessing, and often
had to listen to profane language
from people who happened to be un-
fortunate in getting bad tires. The
we sell no bad tires. Our prices are
$500, $3.50, $500, $3.50 and $500.
Any priced tire you choose will be
0. KID by us, as we believe in exam
lining every tire before taking your

lawn or garden,-1lse the hose, If you
want to cool off the house and keep
the must down,-use the hose, in
case of fire, it will be handy,--use the

You cannot always make money by
following the other fellows example,
as 1t is hard to do the same thing the
same way the second time. The un-
beaten path is where the daisies grow
the thickest, don't imagine you can
get bigger value in a bigger store.
You are sure of better satisfaction in
a store like ours.
Owing to the fact that our goods
sell themselves, we haven't much to
say, but what little we have to say
from time to time, we will say it to
you personally or through the press,
the catacombs of eternity, will we
remain silent. Tonight, tomorrow
night. and every night when we close
the door, you can hear the hinges
creak with disapproval for not stay
ing open all night to receive custom
