Gleanings improvas with every issue, but it

Goods ordered of you were received all tight. It 

 is almost surprising with what promj>tness you 

 folks do business. When we order goods from you 

 they are always here t)efore we are lo(»king for 

 them. The sewing-machine gives splenflid satisfac- 

 tion. Tlie lady told me she liked it well, and would 



itlst as soon have It as a 1'4(l machine an agent left 

 at her house to try to sell to her before she saw the 

 one 1 got from vou for my danghtor. I^mg life to 

 Gleanings and all Its helpers. L. Dvek.

 The si'wiiig-machine Is nicer and better than we e.\- 

 pected. I have tried it thoroughly, and tliid It tiist-

 sales of mai'liiiies in t his locality by a little work.

Job Lot of Wire Netting. 



CUT PIECES AT A LOWER PRICE THAN FULL ROLLS, 



Having bouglit from the factory, at our own price, 

 five or si.\ hundred remnants, as listed below, we are 

 able to give you the choice of a great variety of 

 piecesat the price of a full roll or lower. Full rolls 

 of netting are 1.50 ft. Ions', and when they are cut we 

 have to cnarge nearly double the full-roll rate, be- 

 cause it is so much trouble to unroll, measure, and 

 cut, and run the risk of having a lot of remnants on 

 hand. No doubt it is in this way that the following 

 remnants have accumulated. It costs a good deal 

 to get all this in shape .so we can easily pick out from 

 the lot the piece you want. But to move it off quick- 

 ly, we put the price down so you can all have a 

 chance at it. Remember, first come, first served. 

 In ordering, therefore, name a second or third choice, 

 or say that we may send the nearest we can if tlie 

 piece selected is gone. (In 5 pieces deduct .5 per cent, 

 on 10 pieces 10 per cent. These remnants are shipped 

 only from here. If any of you want to secure some, 

 and don't want tliem shipped till later, when you 

 will order something else, so as to save freight, pick 

 out the pieces you want, send remittance with the 

 order, with request to lay by till called for, and we 

 will mark tliem as belonging to yon. We prefer to 

 ship them tight out. however.
