go as far as possible? We can save you $1.00 out of every $5.00 you spend. Our 
goods are purchased direct from the manufacturer and sold to our trade at practically whole* 
sale prices. Over two million people are now patronizing us and buying everything they use at a saving

people who know that a dollar saved is a dollar gained.

The House That Tells The Truth. 
HUMOROUS 
$50.00 Feed 
There was a young lady—vivacious, 
Who partook of a luncheon crustaceous, 
Bivalves, out of season, 
She devoured without reason. 
But her “after sensations’’—O gracious! 
—'What to Eat. 
Schoolmistress (just beginning a nice 
improving lesson upon minerals to the 
juniors): "Now, what are the principal 
things we get out of the earth?” Youth¬ 
ful Angler, aged four (confidently): 
“Worms.”—Tit-Bits. 
“Do you think there is anything re¬ 
markable in love at first sight?” asked 
the romantic youth. “Not at all,” an¬ 
swered the cynic. "It’s when people 
have been looking at each other for four 
or five years that it becomes remark¬ 
able.”—Washington Star. 
“Weren’t you ever a boy, sir?” asked 
the bright young man, who had heard 
that this was the proper remark with 
which to come back at the grouchy old 
Grinder for 
$15.00

WATER. 
If you want water only when the wind blows a windmill will do your work 
and cost less money than our ltider and Ericsson Hot-Air Pumps, but if you want 
water every day while your flowers are growing and do not want your pump blown 
down when the wind blows too hard, no pump in the world can equal ours. We 
have sold about 20,000 of them during the past twenty-five years, which is proof 
that we are not making wild statements. 
Our Catalogue “C 4” will tell you all about them. Write to nearest store.
