Paint

There are two good reasons tor painting
often enough or even too-often. One, to look
pros porous; two, to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or gives one
more credit than paint; supplemented of course
by what goes with it; and paint costs nothing
True, the first cost is S. Or Sc gallon put-on;
but it more than that in the property
saves it from slow going down-not always
slow-it drops with jump when water gets in
on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing, kept dry by
paint.
Better paint when it needs it. Paint never
goes down in tie sense of being more profit
able next year DEVOE

earle & JONES HALF PRICE SALE. We
have had all kinds of sales in the past-fire
sales, smoke and water sales, sacrifice sales,
etc, etc,-but the half price sale of earle &
Jones last Saturday ecipsed them all. This
firm are liberal advertisers the year around,
and when they announced a half-price sale
their regular customers. and the public gener-
ally, knew that real bargains were to be had,
and the two stores were jammed and beseiged
all c"y. Preparations had been made for
crowd, but Mr.. Jones says that twice as many
people came as expected and it was necessary
at times to lock the doors until those inside
could be waited upon. Twenty-one good
clerks were employed. but even that number
found it difficult to keep up with the demands
of the eager customers. All day there was
crowd in front of the store waiting to gain ad
mittance. until the rain in the afternoon drove
them to the shelter of adj AGENT stores or door
ways. People from Liberty, Montville,
Searsmont and many other towns, and Carej &
Jones regret that their island Gus tomers were
unable to gain admittance. They were obliged
to turn away $50 people after s p. There
was no one in the store broken out with small
pox, some one reported. and equally I'M
founded was the story that the firm had lost
many goods. The sale was perfectly salts
factory to Carrie & Jones, and equally so to
their customers. 1t was decided upon because
trade had. been slack during the spring, with
every indication of dull summer, and rather
than carry large stock over they concluded
to turn it into casa. The stores were in good
condition for business Monday morning. al
though Saturday night they looked if they
had been visited by a cyclone.
