has won for himself the good will
of all those who are fortunate
enough to know him. What is the

Who is the proprietor?
(40) Select your blacksmith as
you would motor car. Two black
smiths can vary as much as two
makes of automobiles. One can be
efficient, reliable and satisfactory,
the other just the contrary. There
fore, when the need for blacksmith
is felt, play safe. Don't say black
smith and take your work there, but
take your work to firm whose sec
ond name starts with the letter "O'',
and you will get all that person
can desire, all that master mechanics
can produce from the best material
that money can buy. You will find

always found in a first class store
of this kind. Their motto has been
to buy nothing but the best the mar
kets afford and sell it at price con-
sistent with fair margin of profit.
And that this motto has proved a
success is best exemplified by the
substantial trade he now has. The
owner handles all the business per-
