For it is that much less than any other
truck of similar capacity in the world.
See what you get, too, in the Maxwell: not
only a rugged, sturdy, tug-boat truck, but one
that weighs only 2400 pounds. Which explains
why so many Maxwell users are getting 16
miles to the gallon.
Service records show a verdict of 99.6%
perfect based on the 6600 Maxwells now in use.

The partnership heretofore existing between A. A.
Smith and John Butterton in the Smith & Butterton
Plumbing and Heating business, has been dissolved,
and I have purchased the interests from Mr. Smith. 1
expect to continue busines in the same location and in
the future the same as in the past will strive to give the
best of service.
1 will retain the services of S. 11. Ripley, who has
been with us the past two years and who is an expert
plumbing and heating man.
If you have anything in our line, bring it to us, and
if you are contemplating any changes we would be
pleased to submit our figures.
I want to thank the patrons for their support in the
past and hope by a continuance* of the best of service,
that J may merit the same generous support in the
future.

MARQUESEN & KERWIN
Don’t Gamble on Quality
This Season—
If there ever was a time when
a man should make every dollar bring the
maximum, that time is now.
But some people are apt to get
the idea that buying cheaper goods will solve
the problem. It is a fallacy that we want to warn you
against before you learn it in the bitter school of
experience.
In Clothes it is a time to buy
better clothes—to pay a little more and. get
quality— to get long-wearing fabrics and superior work
manship.
Though wool is scarce
THE HOUSE OF
KUPPENHEIMER
has maintained the high quality of its fabrics
and workmanship, but they will cost a little more now.
We advise you to buy these better clothes
and if you were to ask at what price you could get a suit or
overcoat that would be the best value, deliver the longest service and
the fullest measure of satisfaction, we would recommend $25 or $35.
Others that represent the utmost in value anywhere at $22.50 to S4O.
