Hosiery and Underwear

At the Black Cat mills are
six experts, all of the time ex-
perimenting with dyes and
yarns to make Black Cat Ho-
siery. This is the reason that
Black Cat Hosiery is all the
time getting better. These
people want you, their Gus
toners, to get all that is pos
sible when you buy their Ho-
siery. When a pair goes
wrong, we return it to the
mill. They then make thor
ough investigation to see
where the defect comes. In
this way they know just what
they are asking you to buy.
Good goods cost more to make.
They show a smaller per cent. OF
profit and larger business increase.
Munsing Underwear is sold all over
the world. MunsIng business has
started during our term Of business
here in Barre. We were one OF their
first customers. They have helped us TO

in our city. You have shared that
help by being able to buy such I'M
derwear at so low price. Our fall
line is ready.

Tempered With Electric Wires

Workmen repairing the roof of
the Dick building occupied by the
Owl pharmacy Tuesday twisted the
electric light wires that feed Kraft
& Brenner's store together making
a short that burned out the trans
former fuse. The trouble was not
easily located and the business
section was without lights that
night. Handling electric light
wires is a dangerous thing and
should not be indulged in by those
without authority. In cases where
the wires need attention this Office
should be notified and it will be
attended to promptly. The electric
light wires are in town by authority
of a city franchise and those who
modest them do so at their own
risk and are accountable for any
damage they may do.

Medal Contest

There will be a silver medal con-
test at the Methodist church Fri
day night of this week, Our girls

we hope the town will show its
interest in their endeavors by
coming out to hear them, 1t takes
considerable effort to get up a con-
test, and the public will find it both
interesting and instructive, and
we'll worth hearing. We bespeak
your loyal support of our home
talent. A silver Offering will be
taken at the door to defray cost of
medal.

Miss EsteIl Mason and her team
Of Eskimo dogs on the last lap of
her trip around the world was in

here she left Nome, Alaska, Octo-

reaches Lincoln, Nebr., she will
have travelled the required number
of miles with her dog team to
entitle her to the reward of $12, 900
and will ship from there to San

livery barns and usually sleeps in
the barn to take care of the dogs
allowing no one to feed them but
herself and prepares the feed with
great care. She remained here
about an hour and attracted a
large crowd while giving an ex-
hibition with her trained dogs.
