Otis Harlan has a brand new story
On Covaleskfe, the pitcher OF the Phila-
delphia National league team, who
beat our Giants out Of a pennant q
few years ago by beating them three
times in q week.
"COvey," rs Harlan tells It, was not
much shucks as a pitcher despite his
Giant killing feat. One day he was
pitching against the Pittsburgh team.
A runner got on first and straightway
stole second while Covey held the ball.
after the inning Billy Murray, who
was managing the team, called Kitty
Bransfieid over to the bench and while
the big pitcher beamed his approval
said:
See here, Kitty, I don't want any
secrets On this team. The next time
one 0f those fellows gets on your base
You inst let everybody on the team
know It Do you understand? ?
That's right, BILL said Covaleskie;
he had that call coming to him.

Milbank, South Dakota, June. II, 1914

It is to our friends that we wish to have a heart to
heart talk with. and tell them Of what we have to offer:
To all those who have lived in and about Milbauk,
there is no need of asking them to try and recall that we
have ever had, or conducted, a socalled 'Sale, with the pos.
sible acception of the sale we had in 1912, when we had a So
called "Fire Sale y which in reality was an insurance sale as
we received money for trying to save our stock, and in do
ing so sustained some loss, and for which we were amply re-
paid, thus, giving the purchaser the benefit.
All this talk has been to call your attention to the fact
that at no time have we tried to force anything on you thru
a socalled 'sale' but that you have had value received for
the money invested.
We have had small discount sales on certain classes
of merchandise and have some now that we wish you to take
advantage OF, but this must not be confused with the idea
that we are trying to sell off our stock, for we certainly are
not, we are only giving a discount on a speciallot of ''Boys
Knickers' suits vt SOC on the Dollar, also on a large stock of
Ladies Oxfords and Pumps. The line of Mems and Womens'
shoes are also sold at this price. The baby shoes and slip
pers are in three lots 25c, SOC and 75e. We assure you that
you are receiving full value on every purchase made.
This is your chance to buy shoes for house work and
rough use cheap, and also to buy your boy a good wool suit
to wear this summer to play and work in.
These goods must go, and you will more then do we'll
to look them over, for we stand back of everything we say
to you in our advertisement.
