The Story Of the Piercing Arrow

In the days of old the bow and arrow as we'll
as the lance and shield played prominent part in
the battles waged i'm every land. Christopher 60
Iumbus, the undaunted navigator, found the Bow
and Arrow in the hands of the Wary Red Man upon
his landing in this land of the Free, Great, Grand,
and Glorious America. In later years PIERCING
ARROWS in the hands of these same Red Men who
at first joyfully greeted the Great Discoverer left
death and desolation in the wake of these bold and
hardy pioneers who braved the dangers of the great
unknown; and in every mighty battle of these early
times these piercing shafts played prominent
part in the history that destiny had preordalned.
These Piping times of peace find the Red War
rior calmly dreaming his life away upon the fertile
plains of the West and contentment regns supreme
except that civilization has wrought queer changes,
and to-day the MODERN MERCHANT is fighting
trade battles that for intensity of purpose are as
modern and mighty any ever waged by the war
riors of old, and learning through the school OF
ingenuity and thrift has compelled the ancient and
modern to respond to his call and has turned the
PIERCING ARROWS to his advantage, and here
to-day i'm OLAR it is not only casting death and
desolation upon high prices but is doing yoemen
service in dollar saving for the people. These
piercing emblems of the mighty and modern trade
battles are penetrating the heart of prices.
