Farm Wagon Economy. 



The economy of this proposition is not all found in 

 the very reasonable price of the wagon itself, but in 

 the great amount of labor it will save, and its great 

 durability. The Electric Wheel Co.. who make this 

 Electric Handy Wagon and the now famous Electric 

 Wheels, have solved the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down wagon at a reasonable price. 



after buying a nice handkerchief, and taking 

 it home, to find it all cotton, non-absorbent, 

 and just a useless ornament ? 



So few store-keepers realize the necessity of 

 a linen handkerchief, and because the cotton 

 ones are cheaper to buy, they buy them instead 

 of linen. 



Our specialty is linen handkerchiefs — pretty, 

 absorbent, daintily embroidered, hemstitched 

 to prevent fraying — an entirely satisfactory 

 article. 



We especially advertise for Christmas the 

 following, which we consider the most popu- 

 lar quality we have ever imported. 



Our imported, Belfast Linen, Embroidered, 

 Hemstitched, Ladies' Handkerchief, very 

 sheer, and equal to most 25 ct. ones. We will 

 send you three (3) for SOcts., by mail, postpaid. 



Here is a handkerchief for a gentleman. 

 We have an All-linen, Hemstitched, Laun- 

 dried, Large-sized Handkerchief. This is an 

 extra good value, and not to disappoint the 

 gentlemen; will sell at same price — (3) three 

 for 50 cts. by mail postpaid.

Electric 



This wagon is composed of the best material 

 throughout — white hickory axles, steel wheels, steel 

 hounds, etc Guaranteed to carry 

 4000 pounds. These Electric Steel 

 Wheels are made to fit any wagon, 

 and make practically a new wagon 

 out of the old one. They can be 

 had in any height desired and any 

 width of tire up to 8 inches. With 

 an extra set of these wheels a farm- 

 er can interchange them with his 

 regular wheels and have a high or 

 low-down wagon at will. Write for 

 catalog of the full " Electric Line" 

 to Electric Wheel Co., Box 95, Quin- 

 cy, Illinois. Mention Gleani?igs. 



An Opportunity to Double Receipts. 



Rochester stock is ioo well known to require com- 

 ment. We want one bee-keeper in every county to 

 sell our nursery prodncts. Liberal pay. H. C. Ahlers, 

 a West Bend, Wis. bee-keeper, received $81.00 for Nov. 

 Write immediately for further particulars.
