“Grandfather Traded With Us 
32 years ago we occupied one room 
with two clerks and published a cata¬ 
logue a quarter the size of a hymn-book.

We Want Y,^^to Try Us 
and test for yourself our ability to pleasCD *-i. Tell us what kind of goods you are 
interested in and we will send you witl^ Vharge any of the following illustrated 
special catalogues quoting wholesale prices. Merely mention the number or 
letter of the catalogue you want. 
S’ne of the greatest joys of this great business is the many kind letters we receive daily from our 
**mers, expressing their pleasure and satisfaction with our goods and methods. 
£?3ften the most significant part of the letter is embodied in the few words: “My grandfather traded with 
•"years ago.’’ It is the complete confidence of our customers in our honesty, born of past experience in 
’"Ing here, that enables us to hold their continued trade. 
Sj One-time special “below cost offerings” to catch an occasional customer, and 
*-*dng up the loss on subsequent orders, would never build a business like ours. 
^ It is the constant saving and steady stream of pleasant business relations which 
►- makes our patrons eager to speak a good word for 
us at every opportunity. 
Our prices are 15 to 50 per cent below regular 
retail figures.

SYRACUSE TL L o L r 
shown here has proved one of the most 
popular. Wearing parts all chilled, made

furrow it turns. It’s the plow of all 
others that’s at home in the gravelly, 
stony soils. If your dealer does not 
handle the Syracuse Chilled write us.

WATER. 
If you want water only when the wind blows a windmill will do your work 
and cost less money than our Rider and Ericsson Hot-Air Pumps, but if you want 
water every day while your flowers are growi ng 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.
