AS W ELL AS 



SELLER 



Much is heard of how to sell goods — the buyer 

 seems to be taken for granted. On the con- 

 trary, we think the buyer entitled to equal 

 consideration. Well bought is half sold. We 

 aim to be the faithful servant of both buyer and 

 seller. Equal justice to both is our motto. Send 

 your orders or consignments to us and judge.

Extract from verses read at the out-

"And wblle our brothers 'cross the sea, 



Die In this sad .and cruel strife, 

 Our duty, so it seems to me. 



In this gre.it sacrifice of life. 

 Is ever to protest and pra.v 



That war's dread horrors soon may cease. 

 And from this universal fray 



May dawn the age of lasting peace."
