8 You can't judge of Dry Goods by the price, like
you can sugar. We are not ashamed to admit
V, •-Jthat vou can sometimes buy dry goods cheaper,
S^prrather, at a lower price, than we sell them
2*"On account of the hard times many people
who do not usually grumble at price, now feel
5 that they must economize. To economize they
S think they must pay less for what they buy. To
3 satisfy this demand for cheap goods,'shoddy
5 must often times be sold. We admit that we
S are often tempted to sell that kind of goods. It
takes all our best resolves and a look into
the future to withstand the tempation. Shoddy
S may go now, but we believe it would cost us
dearly in the years to come. We are not building
a temporary trade. We intend doing business
2
in Audubon for many years to come. Therefore
2 -we cannot afford to sell poor goods.

We haven't a poor corset in our
store. Like in everything else,
when a little too much is taken out
of the price of a corset, it is done
at a sacrifice to the fit, wear and
comfort, while a few cents more
will often times double the actual
value. You run no risk in buying
corsets of us, because you can get
your money back if you want it.

What there is in a Name.
How much did you pay for that little pig?" Ten
dollars," replied the farmer. "Is it worth it?" we',
asked. Yes, because I bought it of Hunt." "How4
much will you take for that calf Fifty dollars,"
said the farmer. Why do you ask fifty dollars?"^
Because I bought it of Maharg, and it is worth the'
price," replied the farmer. "John, how much will
you take for that colt Sixty dollars," replied the1
farmer. Well, that is a big price now for a colt, is it®,
not "Yes, but he is a 'Limber Jim' and, is worth'
it," replied John. "Jim, will you take fifty dollars'
for your dog?" No," replied Jim. Why?" we asked,
"Because he is worth more. I bought him from the
best kennel of St. Bernards in" America.'.' "Bill, how,
long have you worn that suit?" "Five years," re-gj
plied Bill, and I paid fifteen dollars for it, and it was
worth the price, for it is one of Henry W. King's make'
and I bought it of Kate." We find that there is some
thing in a name. The name on a machine tells the',
buyer that if he buys a machine it will prove satisfac
tory. The name of a merchant should be taken in
consideration when you buy clothing. When you call
a doctor you are careful to send for the one you want.
When you buy medicine you ask for the kind you
want, and will not take any other. If you will be as
careful when you buy clothing and see that you get
the best, and buy of a merchant that you have confi
dence in like your doctor, you will not be disappoint
ed, and you will get better clothing for less money. If
you buy of us you need not fear that it will bring to
your home some dreadful contagious disease. Our
clothing is made in a clean factory and has the name
of the maker on every suit. We have sold clothing to
people here for seventeen years. Good, clean, healthy
clothing, free from contagious disease, and if you buy
of us you will use the same judgment you do in othe
things, believing there is something in a name, anc
not buying anything that you do not know it is a?
right.
