It's all due to an over-abun-

you can readily overcome, and
prolong life by taking the advice
of DR.. Pierce, which is avoid too
much meat, or tea. Drink plenty
of pure water, preferably hot
water, before meals and drive

by taking "Anuric. These anti

Why We
Advertise

1t Is Just as necessary for us 10 ad-
vcrtisc as it is for farmer to plant
corn II he did not plant corn he
would have no corn raised. II We did
not advertise we.would not have such
a large business. And 1t is just as
necessary for us to continue adverts-
ing as it is for the farmer to cult
waite his corn.
BY advertising we let you know
what we have to SELL we let You
know just what kind Of a business
house we are, BY advertising we let
YOU know that we have very low
prices and our buying right enables
us to sell right BY advertising makes
it possible to sell more goods, and by
selling more goods makes it possible
to sell on smaller margin of profit BY
advertising We reach most every
home and most every one IN the
homes BY advertising brings us new
customers, because people read our
advertisements. II we quit advertis
ing we might as we'll quit business.
Just like the farmer that would not
cultivate his corn after II was planted.
He soon would have to quit business.
When we advertise we spend money.
but then in return we make money
II is our advertising that makes
money for our customers because our
advertising tells him where to buy SO
he can save money.
So Mr.. Auto Owner If You don't
come here and buy your tires, tubes
and supplies We both lose money.
Without YOU we cannot make money
and without us YOU cannot make
money. Let's work together, because
we are selling tires now many dollars
cheaper than ever before, Come up
and get our latest tire prices; we
have the best to be had and just think
OF it when YOU can buy 5000 mile tires
for X3 ribbed only $l2.@& and @hX3la
$IJ.Z5 and 30X3i2 nonskids $3.50 and
all other sizes at the same low re.
duced prices. We have these sizes
30X3la for even less money. Oh bow
nov is the time 10 buy bargains. The
other fellow needed the money and
had to sell his tires away below cost.
We had the money to buy them ana
th3t's why we have these high grade
guaranteed tires for such low prices.
This is Fair week and you will be In
the city so why not come up and take
home tires and tubes and supplies.
You can save more money than you
will spend at the Fair.
Remember 20 years in business
means that we know how to conduct
a business We live here and we are
going to stay here by buying tires
from us means safety and your
moneys worth just like putting your
money into a good bank. A good tire
bought from reliable dealer means
a good investment. We save you 40
to 80 per cent.
