Uy Tremendous rivalry in the jewelry busi- 

 ness. Now is your time to get bargains. See 

 Houriet & Go's radical announcement. 



I^= That good suit of gray that the editor 

 has been wearing every day for the last seven 

 months was purchased at O'Baniou and 

 Kent's San Jose clothing store, opposite the 

 Auzerais, for only $22. If any one can find 

 a better bargain than that anywhere else he 

 would like to know it. The suit is apparent- 

 ly not more than half worn out yet. O'Ban- 

 iou & Kent do business on the square, oue- 

 p rice system, and sell good clothing at the 

 very lowest prices. Small profits and honor- 

 able dealing is their motto all the time. Ho 

 speaks this "good wo rd" without solicitation.

Evert/ Intelligent Farmer knows that 

 neither boys nor hired men are always to 

 be relied upon, in his absence from home, 

 for watering stock. 



Every Stock Raiser will admit that a 

 constant supjily of water keeps his stock 

 in an easy and contented condition, and 

 they will consequently fatten faster. By 

 the use of the ECLIPSE SELF-GOV- 

 ERNING WIND-MILLS water can be 

 abundantly furnished at any desired 

 place. 



By making a tank 16 ft, long, 8 ft. wide 

 and 2 ft. deep, you have a reservoir of 

 nearly GO barrels of water, which the 

 ECLIPSE MILL will keep filled, for 

 occasional calms. 



We do not buikl the ECLIPSE for a 

 cheap mill. We make it for service, and 

 our castings alone weigh 107 lbs. more 

 than those of other mills. Our wood- 

 work is too well known for comment, as 

 all acknowledge our wide, heavy fans su- 

 perior to the thin, narrow slats. 



Having over 3,000 mills in successful 

 operation, a ijurohaser knows just what 

 he is buying. 



Should you desire a windmill for any 

 purpose, or pumps, address Charles P. 

 Hoag, 118 Beale St. San Francissco, Cal., 

 for descriptive circulars.
