"Come Now and Let
Us Reason Together."
A weightier matter than merchandise was at stake when
those words were uttered by the prophet of old, but the words apply
to all conditions in all ages.
Men who have something to tell or something to sell, use
them. We have both.
We believe in telling the people through the medium of the
press, what we have and how we deal.
We sell everything for the home and farm.
'i We have built a large business on our platform; "Every
I Deal a Square deal.'"
' We believe a majority of the people are honest and ,that all
people like to deal where they feel they will be dealt with honestly.
We believe people will deal where they get the most and beat
Sgoods for their money.
We do not claim to be the only folks who are honest, or who
Ican give good values, but we do claim to be of that class, and be
lieve we have good reasons for our claims, some of which follow:
ofr Ideal location on two railroads-Near depots, thus reducing
' cost of drayage to a minimum-Carry large and varied stock-Buy
ie in large quantities direct from mills and factories-Large volume of

- Make immediate shipments, and everything sold "Your
