This Is the Way to Make
Every Buy a Bargain

DUY advertised goods. Only GOOD goods, fairly
priced, can stand the spotlight Of publicity.
Amerchant or manufacturer would not dare to advertise
merchandise that is poor in quality, poor In make or that
will not give reasonable wear. The penalty of such
tactics is too heavy. No goods-and no business con-
cern-can thrive under the weight Of public condem-
nation.
A merchant places the whole reputation Of his business
at stake every time he advertses. Naturally enough,
he IS careful Of what he says and when his statement
is placed in The newspaper-where everyone in town
may read-so that any unhuth in it will be known to
alhs employees ard most Of his nends-then you may
be sure he is doubly careful.
When you buy advertised goods you get a bargain
because THEY MUST BE AS ADVERTISED.
So it pays you to read advertisements. Advertising
protects you.
Read the advertisements in this paper and get the best
Of the bargain.

Ending the season at least a
week later than any period in the
last several years, the ferry run
ming between Rock Island and Dav-
export has been taken to the Kahlke
boat yards for the winter. Captain
M. L. Henderson, owner, had in
tended to operate the boat through
the holiday week, but when it was
endangered Saturday evening by
the cold, the last trip was made
The boat did not operate Sunday
or yesterday. Unable to make
schedule time Saturday, Mr.. Hen
derson decided to place the boat in
the yards for the winter.
For the first time in eight years
the boat will be pulled upon a dry
dock and the bottom repaired. No
such thorough examination of the
bottom of the boat has been made
for eight or ten years. Minor i'm
provements such as painting will
be made during the winter months.
