OUR "BUTCHER.MAa"
SECOND TO JOB

GA. Marshall of the Pioneer
Meat Market is lamenting the fact
that be gets called Gown about five
times a day through no fault Of
his own. Each morning from about
1O:30 until noon between 20 and
40 orders are received at his shop
by phone, and almost every Gus
toner wants his order delivered
Immediately AS ; Mr.. Marshall
employs only one delivery boy the
on1ySthing he can do is to have the
orders delivered in the order in
which they are received. and in
many cases the last order does not
go out until noon or later. Then
of course, the customer calls up
and registers a kick on the service.
If all people in the city wanting
meat would give their orders ear
lier., in the morning, all this grief
could be avoided. Mr.. Marshall
asks us to let the people know that
their orders will be delivered in
plenty of time for dinner If same
are filed as early as possible.

MOORE HARDWARE !.
co. BRANCHES our

Mayor ]. w. Moore of the Moore
Hardware Co. believes he now has
a system whereby he can compete
with all the mail order houses, and
is mailing out a hundred catalogs.
In this catalog is listed practically
everything person can think OF,
and the prices are as low as the
lowest. In order TO get goods at
these prices Mr.. Moore asks that
the customer make out his order
on the regular blanks, and either
mail or bring same to his store
with the amount of money neces-
sary, the same as what is required
with other houses. The goods or
dered will be shipped direct to the
customer and he pays the freight
when the goods arrive. Every
article is guaranteed to be as re-
presented and in case the customer
is not satisfied with his purchase
he is at liberty to return the goods
and get his money back. Wher>
ever this system has been tried it
has proven highly satisfactory to
the customers, and a better grade
of goods in almost all cases are re-
ceived than what ordinarily comes
from mail order houses. We
would suggest that our readers
give Mr.. Moore a trial order, and
see just how much money he can
save them.

liamsi county, where he is organic
ing a farmers elevator company.
Cottonwood Lake is on the Wild
rose extension of the Great North

things in all lines are being over
done, and the towns are growing
much faster than what the sur

land broken up along the extension
he opined that those who went

UNCLE IKE ROSS
TO HAVE BIG CROP

Old Uncle Ike Ross, the demo1

who keeps the county building as
clean as the kitchen of any Dutch
housewife, and is the most popular
among all the employees, at the
court house, but who spend; all his
spare time in boosting for President
Wilson, brought a handful of blue
stem wheat to The Tribune office
last Tuesday afternoon, which he
had pulled from the field on his
farm that day. He told us that
his whole field averaged about the
same as this sample. The sample
looked very much as though it was
good for at least 25 bushels to the
acre if the weather proved favor
able between now and harvest,
and looks as good as any marquis
wheat in the country.
