A Tonic 

 For Sick Ones 



m 



I 



YESTERDAY a grower blew into our office and sat 

 down for what he called "a read-honest-to-good- 

 ness-talk." Having said which, he ssud the following: 

 "1 am sick of that last house 1 bought. Why in 

 thunder did you let me buy it ? Why didn't you hit 

 me between the eyes, when I said your house cost too 

 much? 



"Doggone it all, do you know what my repaur bills 

 are costing me these days? Well, sir, it just makes me 

 sick every time 1 write out a check. ' 



"With the present price of materials of all kinds 

 up in G, blamed if I don't think it would pay me to 

 bum that cheap John house down and build one of 

 yours, no matter what it costs. Now let's get down to 

 facts and figures on a house 68x400 feet." 



To which let us add that the big point to our mind 

 that this man made, was HOW MUCH REPAIRS COST 

 these days, regardless of how little the house cost. 



When you buy a cheap house, just as sure as 

 preaching you are at the same time buying expensive 

 repairs. 



We go anywhere for business, or to talk business.
