Farmers and Horse Owners Listen! We have about $500
worth of Coders and Nets at last year's prices. While they
last this means a saving of from 75c to $1.25 a pair as com
pared to what they will cost later. There is no better time
than right now to have your harness repaired and oiled for
the harvest. Headquarters for everything in the harness
line, and trunks, bags and suit cases.

It's no longer necessary to go into the details
describing the practical merits of the Ford car—
everybody knows all about "the Universal car."
How it goes and comes day after day and year
after year at an operating expense so small it is
wonderful. This advertisement is to urge pros
pective buyers to place orders without delay as
the war has produced conditions which may in
terfere with normal production. Buy a Ford
car when you can get one. We'll take care of
your order—get your Ford to you [as soon as
possible —and give the best in "aiter
service" when required.

Up-to-date business men do all their
business through the medium of the
bank. They realize it is the safest
and the surest way. Their check
book shows every cent they deposit.
Their checks show every cent they
pay out, and at the same time are
the safest receipt given. Why not
conduct your business in the man
ner that all successful business men
conduct theirs? Come in and get a
bank book and give it a trial.

Thousands of our boys are going down into the trenches
today—clean-faced, determined, splendid young m£n.
Many are soon to join the army of the lame, the blind
or the dead.
You can at least go down in your pockets for them.
Think it over—be ready on
