We desire to thank all our kind friends and customers for their liberal 

 patronage and generous support, by means of which we have been enabled 

 to build up our business to its present proportions. We will not in this 

 catalogue pretend to give a full list of all the goods we keep in stock. It 

 has always been our aim to handle '' ^/le best goods rather than the cheapest,'' 

 and in this list we think we can show a line of specialties unsurpassed by 

 any house in the country. 



We know that in these days of sharp competition, there is a strong desire 

 on the part of the farmer to economize and buy at the lowest possible prices. 

 This is well and should be done, but the '' lowest priced goods are by no 

 means the cheapest," in fact as a rule they turn out to cost the most. 

 Therefore, do, not be deluded into buying that class of goods, but buy good 

 goods at fair prices : these we claim to have. 



Jn your persual through the following pages you will note that we have 

 made prices to compete with the times. 



To those who have not as yet favored us zoith their orders. We want 

 your trade, we will treat you right ; no order too small or too much trouble, 

 send us a trial order, and we will use our utmost care to please you. 



To onr old Friends. We shall esteem it a great favor if all our old 

 friends will continue to lend a hand by speaking a word for us now and than 

 to their friends. We heartily thank you for past favors and hope for a con- 

 tinuance of your orders, awaiting which. 



We remain, 



Yours to serve,
