IMPLEMENTS
Asa blacksmith I have repaired all kinds of implements
and vehicles. I am therefore a goon judge of which gives
the best satisfaction and wear. In handling those things
there is always some breakage, I don't care how good they
are. In such cases you are put to expense by paying ex
press charges on repairs and also a great loss of time.
There are lots of times when you are busy (and time is
money) which in trading with me I could in most cases
repair and you would lose nothing and I will gain more
trade. I will take your old goods as-part pay on new ones,
and can pay you more than anyone else, owing to my
business. Come in and see my full line of new implements.
I also have second hand goods of all kinds in first-class
running order. In new Buggy Tops, Dashes, Cushions,
Springs, Axels, etc., I can give you prices that will astonish
you. In all kinds of blacksmithing I can give you the very
best of satisfaction. Call on me and I will prove these
statements. Yours Truly,
H. P. HANSEN & CO.

Atlantic it failed to materialize at
the Exira postoffice before Monday

The prevailing muddy roads have
caused the milk haulers to the Blue
Grass Creamery a great deal of
annoyance, and now they have de
cided to discontinue hauling until

are now coming to the creameries

THE JEWEL HAMMOCK
THE JEWEL HAMMOCK is the acme of perfection having many points of
advantage over any plow on the market. It has two movements for the
guages, one a horizontal swing which keeps the shovels at a uniform depth
and the other is a pendulum movement which allows the guages to swing
in a circular form, the shovels raising from the ground as the gang is
swung out, and vice versa. The shift lever relieves team of any neck draft,
regardless of weight of operator. The Jewel Hammock is furnished with
either four or six shovels. For sale by
