DISCOUNTS FOB, EARLY OHDEHS. 



As is our usual custom, ive are allotoing a liberal discount on orders sent in now for goods to be 

 used next season. After the vexatious delays last spring, it is needless to explain the many 

 advantages secured by those trho order early. Not only do you gain by having your goods to put 

 together and get ready for use during leisure time in the winter moiiths all readij for business ir^ 

 the spring, but you secure a sufficietd discount to make the investmetit a py-ofitable one. You also 

 run the chance of getting better goods, made lohen tve etre not so rushed, than some iceivere obliged 

 to se7id out last spring, made by unskilled workmen on the night force during the " great rush'' ' 

 for supplies, nith the increetsed capacity that our new two-story brick building, 37 x 100 

 feet, gives us we hope to be better prepared than ever for such an umisual irtcrease of business asice 

 have had. the past season. Still, the experience of the past tw<> years has taught that it is not seife 

 to rest with too much confidence on this reasoneibly good prospt-ct. It is much safer for you to 

 OBDEB EARL Y. We have secured from Michigan over ino.OOOfeet of bassivood, out of 'which 

 we are making the whitest and nicest .sections we ever turned out. To verify our word., send 5 

 cents to pay postage on a sam.ple. With a demand equal to leist year, the sections made from this 

 lot will he gone by April 1. We may get more equally good, but the chances are in favor of those 

 who order early. Our new revised catalogue is ready to mail on application. 



DISCOUNTS. 



The discounts xoill apply to every thing m our catalogue ordered for next season's use. They 

 can not, of course, apply to large orders for counter goods or honey -packages; but if only a few of 

 them are included with an order for hii'es, etc., then the d.iscount may be taken from the whole bill. 



Up to Dec. 1st, discount will be 5 per cent. After that date, one per cent a month for each 

 month before March; i. e., 4 per cent in December, 3 per cent in January, and 2 per cent in Feb- 

 ruary. A. I. BOOT, Medina, O.
