HARD KNOCKS
Will Not Effect Your Plumbing
or Electrical Work If 1t Has
Been Executed by Experts.

A man cannot learn the plumbing
or electrical trades by proxy or by
letter. In order tobecome thorough
ly efficient in either of these lines a
man must learn from actual exper-
ience. The best work is therefore
executed by men who have become
thoroughly conversant with every
feature of their business while en-
gagged in actual work on the job.
That is why Behringer Brothers is
the popular firm in this city and
county. They know the business
from top to bottom. They employ
only the most capable and efficient
workmen and when you entrust a
Job of work into their care you can
do so with the satisfaction that when
completed it will please you.
This firm speeiallzes in plumbing
and heating and electrical wiring of
the better class and is equipped to do
all kinds if work. 1t makes no diff
ference whether you want them to re-
pair a leak in your lines or install a

J. W. SHIVELY
Operates a Most Complete Gener-
al Store at Stedeke, Offering
a Class of Stock Selected
for Its Value.

Stedcke and Mercer County people
are indeed fortunate in having in
their midst the J w. Shively gener-
al store. The departments of the
place vie with each other in their eff
forts to serve the public. This es-
tablishment is one of the leading
trade centers of the county and has
long been known as headquarters for
thousands of people. Space limlta-
tions forbid even short review OF
the large and varied stock OF this
concern, but such detailed reference
is not necessary. The reputation of
this store for goods of quality, eX-
tent of stock and reasonable prices
comes from the territory for miles
around You can't complete a shop
ping tour of the county without do
ing a part of your buying here.
They are up-to-date and by buying
in quantities are able tooffer wonder
values. Their service is based on
the theory that courtesy and asso-
citation are just as essential in the
sale that amounts to five cents as the
one that runs into dollars. This in
stitution merits your confidence and
patronage.
Mr.. Shively has one of the largest
genral stores in this part Of Ohio and
is large purchaser of country pro-
duce, farmers having learned that he
always pays the highest prices CON
sistent with good business.
His beautiful and spacious new
country home, northwest of this city,
is one of the beauty spots in Mercer
County, and a place where the latch
string is always out. Excellent busi-
ness Judgment, keen foresight and
hustling spirit have made Mr..
Shively one of the most prosperous
and best known residents of the
county.
