purse. In this way you will be both
insurer and insured.
By buying THE PIONEER each
day and taking a few minutes
time to read the advertisements
you can protect yourself against
the loss occasioned by foolish buy
ing. You and your family owe it
to yourselves to make sure that
every dollar spent is we'll spent.
/. There is no better way to do
this than to familiarize yourself
with the best articles manufactur-
ed and offered for sale in the
