Reputation for Quality is the Greatest
Business Asset a Man can Have.

Has it ever occurred to you that the
quality of work that l am furnishing
is being carefully noted by the people
that are looking for the best in monu-
ments.
In every town or city in the United
States there are those who have built
up busines through gaining repu-
tation for reliability for quality and
for giving the people just what they
think they are buying.
You can't buy quality monuments at
bargain sale prices The best satisfied
customers are the ones who pay
good, honest price for monument and
then demands good, honest job.
Why not then give your work to one
who has built up his business on quality
and workmanship and who has had
years of experience and who knows
when monument is finished right and
the quality and material in it, and can
make the monument himself? And
who can be absolutely relied upon to
furnish you honest goods at honest
prices? am inspired by persistent
purpose to produce perfect monuments
and to have them set in perfect con-
dition.
How we'll l have accomplished this,
you have only to look at the many
nice monuments that have erected in
the cemeteries of Cresco and surround
ing country. l ask your business on
these principles Good, honest, straight
forward work, at the lowest price such
work can be furnished for.
l have come in your midst TO build
up business, make living and beauti.
fly your cemeteries with beautiful
monuments built in proportion and we'll
finished. l am carrying in stock the
best granite that is known for monu-
mental purposes and the largest stock
ever carried in Cresco, the most attract
i've designs, and exercise the greatest
care in selecting my stock. l carry a
complete set of the latest designs from
the lowest priced MARKER TO the Nigh
est priced monument, and invite you to
call and look them over whether you
intend to buy now or not. And would
it not be we'll for you to give your
order now so as to have it in time for
Decoration Day. If not convenient to
call at my shop. write me and will
arrange to call on you. The one who
puts off buying until March 18th or
April 1st, and expects their monuments
set by Memorial Day will be disappoint-
ed in more instances this year than
ever before, as the monument manu-
facturers are already being crowded
with orders. Come in and look my
stock over and give me your order.

their deliveries to the government
standards. and the prices OF the differ

spinning values the different grades
as determined by the official test,

limited to the specific grades.
1T is the opinion Of the committee
that this bill should pass. According

mittee that the passage OF this bill wi
ultimately force the exchanges to ac.
cept the government Standardization
and to acknowledge that the fictitious
differences as they have heretofore
fixed them between the several grades
