It brings them the Hupmobile-a greater measure of motor car luxury and quality and value than $10S5 ever before made pos sible.
 Sales everywhere are marching far in ad- vance of the shipments made possible by increased output.
 This situation is such a wonderful adver tisement of Hupmobile value that it leaves little more to be said.
 The new Hupmobile deserves its good fortune.
 In point of past and proven worth, in point of present perfection in point of size and beauty and luxury-we cannot find car in the world comparable at the price.
 The 1916 Hupmobile shows distinct gain in quality over preceding models.
 It has 20 per cent more power, quicker pickup, stronger pull on hills and on heavy roads, and even more pronounced motor flexibility

Two important developments followed closely the first showing of the 1916 Hup- mobile.
 All over America the Told guard' came Hooking back to renew their allegiance. Almost on their heels new army of en- thusiasts marched.
 Those of the first group needed no urg ing.
 They know-50,OO0 and more-how good the Hupmobile is. They ride in it. They rive it.
 These men appreciate, better than any perhaps, the full meaning of Hupmobile at $1085. Hupmoble quality has been real and tangible to them for years.
 In the second group are those who, in- spired by the good they have heard of the car, have long looked forward to Hupmo bile ownership.
 To them the lowered price is simply the means to an end.

life and I was brought here.
THE operation was successful"

into a fine physical condition, but,
MaTgie, we have been so worried,

would never be yourself again. Not

no menNDry of anything since that
awful moment when knew my baby
was dead, until day before yester-

Now, dear" said Aunt Mary,
you must let the nurse put you in
chair this morning, for Dick will soon
be here and I want him to see that
you are getting better"
How do you happen to be here so
early, Aunt Nary"
q stayed here all night, dear. We
have another room beside you and
ever since you have been here, either
Dick or I have slept there"

Dicks business. Hasn't he been able
to be out of town for 10 weeks?"
Dick, my dear, has been with you
all the time. Mr. SeIwin has been
very kind indeed and told Dick to let
everything go that he found would
interfere with his devotion to you.

You did not recognize anyone and

shock after giving birth to a child,

Eyes, darling, you are all right

took me in his arms. 'Margie, don't
leave me again. I could not stand it.
You broke my heart when you would

now that you're back it will be all

CAN BEAT CATALOC
CONCERN AT HOME
Duluth Herald Points Out Proof
of the Pudding and Urges
Buying at Home

One of the bugbears of the county
merchant is the catalog house. 1t is
worse than bIgbear, it is a real men,
ace. 1t is worse than menace even,
it is a formidable competitor. Drsy
loads of fat catalogs reach many rural
communities, and carloads of goods
are brought into town to follow them.
Some country merchants sit behind
their counters and bewail their fate {;
yet all the cursing of the catalog
houses in the world, and all the
appeals to local patriotism imagin-
able, do not turn the tide.
But other country merchants have
an Invaluable ally right at home, if
they have the sense to- use it. That is
the local paper.
Down in the beautiful and thriving
city Of Luverne, a community of g.
500 people, the Nelson's have a
department store that would be Gre
dit to Duluth. The catalog house has
no terrors for this store, for it beats
them at their own game. Pages and
double pages of up-to-d and we'll
written and attractive advertisements
in the Luverne papers tell how this
rural store fights-and beats-the cat
alloys.
That's enc case, and there are
many others. A wise partnership be-
tween the local newspaper and the
local merchant will profit both, de-
velop the community and beat the
catalog house to death.
Kings department store at Frazee
prints catalog prices and its own
prices side by side, showing that it
can meet and even beat the prices of
the catalog houses.
Another interesting case just comes
to hand. In the Sandstone Courier
is full page advertisement inserted
by the Webb Hardware company of
that town, The company offers to
meet the prices of any catalog house
and in addition to save half the
freight cost. 1t asks its patrons to
