MERCHANDISING

The primary purpose of every
good store is to sell the best posi-
bic merchandise, in such a way
and at such price, as to make foi
is own profit and the satisfaction
of the customer.
No store can give away goods
continually without a skimping OF
quality and service. But a live
store can frequently obtain really
good merchandise that it can offer
at below regular prices.
Adopting for our store policy the
fundamentals of good merchandis-
Inequality and service have
consistently aimed to broaden our
scope so as TO meet the need of all
people. The result is store or
ganization dominated throughout
by spirit Of fair play to customer
and employee, and offering quality
in merchandise, modesty IN price,
excellence in service.

HON w. A. JONES DIES SUDDENLY
Stricken at His Home in this City En-
tire Community Shocked and
Saddened.
Not Only a Man of Local Prominence.
but of State and National Force.
Loss 10 Family lrretrievable To City
Serious.

The latter part of Tuesday afternoon,
Sept II, our citizens were abruptly
stricken with sadness by the announce
ment that w. A. Jones was dead.
Scarcely anyone knew he was sick or
ailing. Monday, the day previous he
was attending to his duties as usual
those Of president of the Mineral Point
& Northern railway and local manager
of the Mineral Point Zinc Works
About four o'clock that afternoon Mr.
Jones experienced a tired and dizzy
feeling and telephoned for his horse and
buggy 10 convey him home. Doctor
Ludden who was called in administered
relief During the night Mr.. Jones
himself summoned the doctor by phone,
who got there about three O'Clock and
remained for some time. The following
morning he was cheerful and seemed
somewhat better, but kept his bed.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
and some little time after the doctor
had left Mr.. Jones asked Harry Harris,
who is employed at the home, to get
him q drink of water This was done
as quickly as possible, but when Mr..
Harris reached the bedroom with the
water he found Mr.. Jones in a gasping
condition A rush was made for the
doctor who quickly responded, but only
to find that Mr. Jones' earthly career
had terminated.
William A. Jones was born in South
Wales the 9th of September, 1874, and
thus lacked only ten days of being 6S
years of age. He came to Wisconsin
in 1851 with his parents, who settled in
Iowa county. He received common
school education and graduated later
from the Platteville Normal. Taught
school, was principal of the Mineral
Point high school, and served two terms
as county superintendent, has been
mayor Of Mineral Point, member Of the
count board. cashier of the First Ma
tiona Bank. and in 1894 was elected to
the assembly and again in 1896, after
which he served the government with
dignity, integrity and efficiency as In
dian Commissioner
Upon retiring from public Office, Mr..
Jones returned to his Mineral Point
home entering upon the duties Of local
manager of the Mineral Point Zinc
Works, which position he held, together
with that of president of the VI. P. &
N. Railway at the time Of his death.
Thus it viii be noted that Mr. Jones
life was one of activity, intelligence and
usefulness. That he was not only Of
local prominence, but state and national.
1t is history that Mr.. Jones was ever
active in any movement that had for
it's aim the advancement Of Mineral
Point His mild, kindly manner made
him approachable TO one and all, from
the merest tot to the most aged, regard
less Of life's conditions. This community
has sustained loss that it can i'll afford.
His wife. formerly Miss Sarah
Ansley of this city, together with one
son, w. A. Jones, Jr., and three daugh-
ters, the Misses Agnes, Florence and
Marion, survive; also two brothers,
David and Thomas Jones, of Chicago.
The funeral will be held at the home
on Friday afternoon ct 3 O'Clock

The Martinique has been called the most
homelike hotel in New York. We are sure YOU
will find this to be true, because we have
directed our efforts to make it so.
The living apartments at the Martinique
are cheerful and well proportioned; equipped
with tasteful, appropriate furniture, Just as
they would be in well appointed dwelling.
We have never believed you could take so
much stone and SO much furniture and produce

the thoughtful and courteous attitude of the
