have not had as hard a chase
Tor many MONTHS" said Mr.. Tribune.
II was four hours trying to make
one purchase in the afternoon. Mrs.
G. w. Schoregge seemed to bother
me the most. Every time I was
about ready to buy, she would ap-
pear on the scene and queer the
whole works. Mrs. J. M. Stahl sold
me two bath towels and a wash
cloth. II. D. Wilds sold me ono set
of Walk Strate heel pads"
Mr.. Tribune will have TO get
caught four times today to lose his
$3.50 savings deposit at the First
National Bank Of Bismarck. This
bank has served the people Of Bis
marck for nearly SO years, and the
safety and protection Of its depos-
jtors is always it's first considera-
ton. This is evidenced by the size
of the capital, surplus and reserves
and the unusually large proportion
OF its resources always available as
cash.
He will have to get caught three
times to lose the 500 worth of
musical merchandise that he Of
fered at the Music Shop, sos Broad
way.
Mr.. Tribune has driven . Chevro-
let during his visit in Bismarck that
he chose from the Capital Chevrolet
company. This was fully equipped
and fully placarded car, which he
parked in the block in which he was
making his calls. II chose this car
for real service" said Mr.. Tribune.
II found Wonder Bread wrappers
in most all the homes l called on
Thursday, but l caught them off
their guard and they came to the
door without the wrapper. Wonder
bread is baked by the Barker Baking
and Candy company"
The Times watch that Mr.. Tribune
Offered Friday to the first person
who would get him, he saved by
making his calls early in the MORN
ing when they were not looking for
him. The Simmons mattress that
he slept on Friday evening at the
Webb Brothers furniture store was
saved in the same way.
Mr.. Tribune Calls Early
Mr.. Tribune put one over this
morning by making his calls about
1880.
II figured that If they had men,
orized the magic words of greeting
well enough to say them in their
sleep, they would forget some Of the
words early in the morning before
they had time to say them a few
times.'
This morning he saved the $50
which he offered in credit on q
Frigidaire from the B. X. Skeels
Electric company, and the duebill
of $50 to the Olympia CONNECTION
cry, where they make all their own
candy and also all of their ice
cream.
