AN OPEN LETTER
Audubon. Iowa.
August 1O. 1s2.

August 10, 1921.
Dear Customers of Audubon and
Audubon County:
My fall and winter samples have
arrived and are ready for your in
spection. The most wonderful ar
ray of color and texture l have ever
received. In these days when sys-
tematized buying is coming into its
own, the woman with limited
purse need not be dowdy, for the av-
erage well-dressed woman OF these
times has learned the lesson of con-
sideration in sense and cents as well
as dollars.
The Bockley Bros, of New York,
manufacturers and importers, whom
represent, write me that the lower
manufacturing costs have enabled
them to send the highest class fab
RIGS and patterns at very modest
prices. i am sure my customers
will appreciate this, and earnestly
urge them to come and pick out
their goods that they will need for
later use, and they will be put aside
for them, to be sent at any conven-
lent time. Remember, the choicest
patterns are always che first to be
exhausted. But you get your pick
OF the first, and don't pay for goods
until ii is convenient for you to take
them.
Please feel free to call at my
place at any time to inspect these
samples. Or, IL you would rather
for me to call at your home. I will
gladly do so. Just call 400, and you
will get me.
can't resist naming few Of the
different bargains. First, am safe
in saying I have the most beautiful
assortment of plaid goods for skirts
in 56-inch widths at the low price OF
$3.45 per yard. that was ever
brought into this city. One yard
will make skirt.
Do you know that some OF the
most exacting ladies of this vicinity
are making their winter coats them
selves. II you buy ready-made,
patronize your good home stores,
but IL you make one you can't afford
to not buy some of my Atwood plaid
back coating, Sc inches wide, from
$2.95 to $3.50 per yard You will
be delighted with my new brocaded
satins in light blue, green, pink,
brown, white. gold and black. So
inches wide, at 1895 per yard. And
in closing will mention that have
complete line of those lovely ging-
hams in plaids, anc those little and,
larger checks so dear to US in the
fashionable as we'll as serviceable
dresses of today. You simply can't
resist the red and white, blue and
white, pink and white checks.
Remember carry line of wash
able ready-mades of the highest OF
quality, at the lowest prices. The
most talked-of and admired Tissue
handkerchief for men and women,
and the best quality of table dam
ask in the pure Irish linen.
Don't wait. but order your goods
at once, II you want your dress or
wrap ready for the coming fair.
Phone 400 and make an appoint
ment Yours trury,
Mrs. Daisy Phelps

WEE. WEE. WEE,

This little pig went to market"
And he rode in rubber-tired truck,
my children. Railroad rates are so
high, you see that new methods of
transportation are coming into use.
Back east two short line roads have
closed down because the motor truck
took away their business.
Every live stock market is receiv-
ing heavy consignments OF hogs,
sheep, calves and cattle by the gas
oline route. The records of the Om-
aha stock yards show more than
10000 hogs brought in by automo-
bile truck in July and larger num-
Der in June. The railroads may
convince themselves that the long
haul is still theirs, but the POSSIBLE
ity looms OF great deal Of indus
try being localized so that there will
be less and less shipping of products
back and forth across the continent

70 the dispute between the United
States and Great Britain growing out
of the San Reno oil agreement con-
corning Mesopotamia has been, sug-
gested informally to the United States.
1t was learned today officially.
The plan proposed was in a memo

ment but not made in such manner
as to place the necessity for decision
upon this government until more rep
reservations are received.
II was proposed that the United
States appoint q commission to con-
fer with the British petroleum COM
mission in the belief that such direct
negotiations would lead to a more
speedy adjustment than might be ex-
pected through usual diplomatic ex-
changse.
