buyer in this territory. The plan
we are using in giving away this
piano is equitable and fair to all,
simply this, every person buying one
dollars worth of anything in our
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes. The person returning to
us ON July 8, 1914 the largest num-
Der of votes will be given the piano
absolutely free of all cost. No favors
will be shown. Our reputation for
square dealing assures our customs
ers of that fact.

grocer or the meat dealer can tele-
phone to the farmer and have any of
the products of the farm sent in aud

man at both ends of the line. It
will be some job alright.
