The water in the Baker Memorial fuun-
tain i'll Market square has been turnc, i
off for u number of days, probably on
account of the extreme cold weather, but
now that there seems to have come a let
up it would be a humane act to turn
the water on again for the sake of the
work horses of this section if for no 9th
cr reason. Many of the horses use the
fountain for their daily supply Of water
during working hours and one cannot
help plying them when they make their
way up to the fountain only to find 1,
empty. When a man wants a drink of
water he has means of finding one, but
q horse does not. and no matter how
badly he needs drink he cannot ask for
it, and so has to wait until someone
brings it to him.

To The Lovers
Of FAIR PLAY

Is this right; to charge one man
j S25 for suit, and later on sell
the same thing to another man
for S1875.
Of course, it's all wrong -th ats
why we decided to do business on a
different plan, when we started our
business, over four years ago-Our
plan, was to treat every man alike
give them all the biggest posi-
BILE value every day in the year; to
charge one low price the year
round; and to run no mark-doWn
sales
Any one who stops t 0 think, will
know that the store that runs peri
odical mark-doWn sales, has got to,
at some time, mark their goods,
high enough to offset the antici-
pated sale losses.
We named this plan, 'T h e Right
Selling Plan, because it's Ri ght
for you and Right for us.
