Coffee That Has Made
History
The Old Secret Blend Unchanged
for A Hundred Years.

In the heyday Of the Old French
Market, New Orleans, the leaders Of
affairs met there to chat and to dis
cuss the serious topics of the day over
a cup Of French Market Coffee.
What tales the old building could
tell-what stories of plot and counter
plot-what secrets remain unrevealed
under its high gabled roof!
And of these none would be more
interesting than that of French Market
Cofee-the Old Secret Blend. But
while the secret is still a secret,
French Market is now used by ma
ton Of coffee lovers, instead of being
the privilege of only few as in early
French Market days. &
Secret blending of world-famous cof-
fees-secret grinding and roasting
these explain the wonderful goodness
of French Market, found in no other
coffee in America. Many have tried to
initiate it, but have given it up in de-
spair.
Send 10c for II cup sample ard

French Market. We will also send

sell French Market Coffee.

Business Based on Service.

Modern business is built up largely
on guarantees. People don't trade with
folks they can't trust. That business
is getting freer from traps and hooks
Is due largely to guarantees, some Of
which assure you Of satisfaction or
your money back. Others promise long
continued service and free repairs.
while others give a free trial till you
make up your mind you want to buy.
The idea Is to help you get your full
moneys worth and to make you feel
safe in buying an article on which you
are not fully posted, but which you
want If it suits you.-Farm and Fire

the French authorities have agreed to
give Carpenter leave of absence, in
view of the fact that the boxer has
announced he will give his share of
the purse to the relief fund.
Contracts have been drawn up be-
tween Carpenter, the officials of the
American relief fund and Richard, and
one of these is thought to have ar
rived in Paris today, for the sigma
ture of the French pugilist. The
contract, which stipulates that Car
pentier shall meet any white boxer,
calls for the payment of $25, 600 to the
American relief fund for French
wounded and $4,000 to Carpenter, in
