ROLL OF HONOR. 



The following list of names of my customers Is one of which I 

 may well be proud. During the last twenty years I have pa'd out 

 thousands of dollars In premiums to my friends, and I can safely say it 

 has proven one of the best advertisements I have ever had. This year 

 I thought It would be Interesting to publish a list, with the post office 

 address, of those who have secured premiums In the' past, each and 

 every one of whom, so far as living, is a witness to the fair, square and 

 impartial manner In which I conduct my business. 



As an illustration of how premiums have been and can be earned, I 

 will mention the case of J. N. Brown of Pennsylvania, w hose name 

 heads the Honor List, with amount of cash received. I have paid Mr. 

 Blown $1,627 in cash as premiums; lie la entirely unknown to ine 

 personally, and to ray knowledge lias never even been In my 

 store. The tirst premium secured by Mr. Brown was announced in my 

 1889 catalogue, and amounted to S2.00 for a small club order. In 1880 he 

 secured a $25.00 prize, and the next year followed It up with one of $250. 

 The premiums he then secured year by vear are as follows : is;i2 S100, 1898 

 8100, 1894 $50.00, 1895 $250, 1890 $250, 1897 0, 189S $200, 1899 8200, 1900 $200, and he 

 winds it up with a $200 prize as announced in this years catalogue, mak- 

 ing a total paid him in prizes of $1,627. What has been accomplished 

 by Mr. Brown could have been accomplished by hundreds of my other 

 customers. The following is a list of those who secured cash prizes
