CHAS. Nj. SMITH.
Singer Sewing Machines.

- NIGER is the name that stands
for highest quality In sewing
~ machines. The name, as well
as the quality of the machine
~ is known the world over. No
matter what type you require,
two-thread or single-thread, either
round or long bobbin, you can be
suited as to style and price. The
old hand way, that passed out gen.
Grafton ago or more, has been sup
planted by one Of the most wonder
full inventions of history. The sew
ing machine has come into it's own
many years ago. At first the price
was so prohibitive that only the few
could make use OF its many advan-
tages, but that Is not the case today,
for the Singer sewing machine is sold
at such a reasonable price that there
that cannot afford one. In buying
sewing machines 1t has been general
ly assumed that one machine is as
good as another. But this is an
error that should be brought to
light, for there is much difference
between sewing machines as there is
between automobileh or horses. >The
reputation of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine has been built on serviceability,
durability and simplicity of the
mechanism as we'll as the style and
beauty of the cabinet work. 1t is
in class by itself.
For this reason the manager and
sales representative here, Mr. Chas
NJ. Smith, has been selling Singer
Sewing Machines as fast as he can
supply the trade. He has charge OF
a large territory in st. Tammany
and Tangipahoa parishes, including
Covington, Madisonville, Ramsay,
Uneedus, Folsom and the territory
contiguous Mr.. Smith is now offer
ing unusual inducements. Selling
for cash with 20 per cent off, monthly
payments, and is also taking in old
machines and offering liberal dis
counts for them.

sCHOEN q MOLIOY, UNDERTAKE
Frs AND EMBALNERS.

VwW HIS widely known concern has
been furnishing the highest
quality of service known to
the profession. 1t is a con-
u Germ worthy Of special men
ton because of it's progress
slve policy and the high character
Of the service. The business was
started a good many years ago and
was formerly conducted by w. R.
Badon, who was succeeded by Schoen
& Molloy. The name Of schoen &
Molloy, when spoken Of in a business
way, is symbolic Of the best Of SER
vice. The rolling stock Of this con-
Germ is unquestionably as good as
could be found in establishments Of
this kind in much larger cities. They
appreciate the desires of their many
friends and patrons and desire to
give them everything Of the best
The equipment embraces everything,
horses, carriages, and also an auto
mobile ambulance, which is at the
disposal Of the people of this COM
munity at all times. At the demise
of Mr. Molloy, the business has been
managed by Mr.. Schoen and Mrs. w.
D. Molloy, who devotes her entire
time to the affairs Of the concern.
She has successfully endeavored to
maintain the high standard of ser
vice which has always been charac-
teristic of Schoen & Molloy. A
special feature of the business and
one worthy of special mention, is the
fact that this concern Is in position
to furnish the services of a lady en-
balmer. This is a special service
which formerly was granted only to
people Of the larger cities.
