the advantages Of Mason City over

ming Mr.. Stanbery, who 10 news editor
of the paper, says:
While Marshalltown deserves to be

MIR. Stanbery put in a day as stu
dent Of commission methods. Mar
shalltown is without a plumbing in
spector and while there is an ordinance
regulating this it is sort Of dead letter
on account of not having an inspector
on the job. The city owns its own cleo

but the cluster lights are paid for by
the city and the Juice Is secured from
the Iowa Railway and Light Company.
Sewers are put in and paid for by a
direct levy of mills, while Mason City

Everyone has found our Club
Plan to be Just as dignified and
surrounded with the same pri-
vacy as a regular charge account.
Naturally we do not accept
everybody into our Household
Club. If we did the Club Plan
would degenerate into an ordi-
nary instalment scheme and we
would be hauling furniture out
of, houses and selling It over
again, which we have not found
necessary because of our restric-
tons of club membership. Only
persons of reputation as steady
wage-earners or salaried men can
join our clubs. The privilege of
becoming club members is ex-
tended TO only those We deem
worthy; therefore we have expert
enced little or no trouble, and
everyone is happy over the
scheme.
1t must be q satisfaction to
everyone TO know that they are
not buying secondhand furniture
in this establishment because of
promiscuous selling. The care We
exercise in extending the advan-
tages of the Club Plan keeps the
stock free from that faint.
