Rogers & Bro's. Silver-Plated Ware. 



The name of the makers of this ware is a sufficient guarantee 

 of its sterling value. No better plated ware is produced any- 

 where than that bearing the brand on the accompanying cut.

STEEL TABLE CUTLERY. 



26 cts. to 

 snbscribe 



Much has been said of late in the papers in regard to "trusts" of different kinds; 

 i. e., combinations of capital to control the price of certain commodities. The ob- 

 ject is to get higher prices; and it is accomplished by paying some factories to stop 

 work so that there will not be more of the articles, under control, manufactured 

 than will sell at good prices, or than is actually needed by the public. Table cutlery 

 has been largely controlled by such a trust for a j ear or more. As an example, we 

 are asked over 50 per cent more now for a butcher-knife than we had to pay two or 

 three years ago. Other things are not raised quite as much. Now, what I want to 

 tell you is, that we have just bought about $300 worth of table cutlery outside and 

 much below combination price, and have some special bargains for you.
