GRINNELL PLANS
PUBLIC REST ROOM

Grinnell. June 26.--Grinnell has made
start towards establishing public
rest room for the many women that
come from the country and from other
towns as well as those of this city.
The necessity for something of that
kind was emphasized anew when half
a dozen w. r. c. ladies from Musca-
tine on their way to the state encamp-
ment in Marshalltown, found the park
their resting place until Grinnellites
discovered them and offered the usual
generous Grinnell hospitality.

You Buy SatisfactionWith
Every Purchase Made
Here

No customer can ever come into this
store and go away dissatisfied. This is
definite because we are always glad to
take back anything that is not entirely
satisfactory to the purchaser. But we
make very sure that every customer
shall be satisfied. First, by selling moth
ing but goods of the most satisfactory
quality at their prices and, second: by
being very sure that every article we
sell is the best obtainable, of it's kind, at
it's price.
It is vastly more important to us to
make and keep our customers than it is
to make sales, and it would be very fool
lsh to sell unsatisfactory goods one day
because we would be very sure to have
them come back the next.
Come to our store knowing that you
are going to be perfectly satisfied and
that whenever an accident happens we
are only too anxious to take back the
goods and make the transaction right
IN every particular.

When baking bread be sure when.
rising it forms q thin crust before

When baking lemon pies do not.
have your oven too hot, as the lemon
