FIREWORKS
GRISWOLD
Has Something to Say
About Them

The Sane and Safe" movement
has forced the manufacturer of pyro-
technics to exert every effort to pro-
tect his business just as it would
| force you or | to do, if We had mil
lions of money invested.
AS a result this reliable Get that
word reliable) firms are making their
goods with the greatest care and at
prices as low as consistent with safe
ty. to weaB people from the crazy no.
ton that fireworks are directly re-
sponsible for the many accidents of
July Fourth.
All the goods put out by these men
now, are practically safe, when handl-
ed intelligently and according to their
directions.
OF course if baby is given a light
ed sky rocket to hold, it would be
a tender-hearted rocket that would
nestle gently in its hand and not try
to get into the sky where it belongs,
just because it was the baby.
And if a politician in all his glory
attempts to hold a lighted Cannon
Cracker in his grasp, who wouldn't
be ashamed of the cracker that would
not explode with indignation.
There is a sane way and a safe
way to use fireworks.
Things that are considered danger
Gus, like the toy blank cartridge pis-
to, we will not handle.
In thirtyseven years of experience
selling them We recall only one acct
dent caused from the use of our fire
works, and that was not the fault of
the goods.
This long experience enables US to
know the business from a to 2, and
you take less chances in buying from
us than from someone who has
bought their stock. innocent!y
enough, but without this knowledge
of good from bad.
Our line is complete. We can fur
nish from stock a $500 exhibit with
everything but the set pieces. We
have bomb shells, h. Exhibition
Rockets, Whirlwinds, Mines, Batter
les and other large pieces which you
can not obtain from other dealers in
this vicinity.
For the children to fire themselves
We have nearly 100 different penny to
five cent novelties. Five different
brands of Manarin crackers, IA
kinds of torpedoes, figure paper bal
looms, colored fire, etc.
Finally brethren, let us be Sane.
Don't refuse an Uneeda Biscuit be-
cause some ancient maiden lady calls
II cracker or to let the kid have a
few torpedoes because the Battleship
Maine was blown up by one. Be
sane. The little noise they make
will not disturb half so much as the
ringing of Church bells when the
poor fellow wants TO rest and sleep
Sunday morning
Surprising the boys are little
noisy once a year. Our Glorious
Country is worth It, by lingo.
Be sane. Let the youngsters have
some fireworks, under your supervis.
ion il you wish but give them the
good time you used to have.
Be safe, by buying reliable fire
works from a reliable firm that has
been with you 81 years and always
tried to act on the square with their
fellow men.
p. S. The village Fathers have re-
quested us not to sell fireworks until
July Bird.
Its a little tough on our poor frail
bodies to try to crowd two weeks
work into two days, but we are used
to it, and will heartily cooperate with
our daddies in trying to prevent the
disturbance on our streets before the
night of the third. 1t is neither safe
nor sane to have the boys popping
around the streets a week before the
4th.
We will therefore be closed this
evening, but tomorrow and the Glor-
ious Fourth we will be yours for
business.
