WING to advances in many classes of mer
chandise and the delay in replenishing
stocks, many firms are talking higher prices, but
with our foresight in buying the heaviest fall
stock we have ever carried, we are able to con
tinue our early fall prices which were the very
lowest quoted anywhere. A comparison will tell
the tale. This is a very important point to us, for
we are certain that the values we offer will ob
tain the patronage of all well posted buyers. Our
endeavor has been to show a stock superior to
any previously offered to our customers. That
we have succeeded is demonstrated by the early
part of this season's business which is larger by
far than any we have ever obtained before. It is
impossible to quote many prices here, but here
are some of the prices that win trade for us.

DOUBLE
GEARED
Th* D&in
Double-Q?ar^d
Mill
POSSESSES innumerable advantages over all
others. The inside burr revolving as it does,
twice to the sweep's once, gives it double the
grinding surface of any mill using the same size
burrs in other words our burrs being 18 inches
in diameter, have a grinding surface of 36 inches
per revolution as compared with 20 or 25 inches,
as the case may be, in the old style mills, where
the burr revolves only with the same speed the
horses travel. The Dain Double Geared Grinder,
while being a geared mill, is free from complica
tions, yet is operated in the same manner as the
ordinary sweep mill, and runs equally as steady
with only the same power. The burrs are made
of a special mixture of pig iron, and being chilled
are very durable. They are interchangeable, and
when replaced the mill is practically good as new*.
