In buying anything one always
likes to feel that his dealer is of the
highest integrity and that his bust
ness policy is based on honest
methods, but this is perhaps true
in regard to the Jewelry business
more largely than in any other re-

class Soda Fountain in connection
and today he has one of the finest
Iceless fountains Installed to be
seen anywhere in this vicinity.
A First Class Restaurant is also
run in connection where the best
meal in the city is served for 25c.
