THREE CARS OF BUGGIES

Three full cars of buggies within the last twenty days, making

eight cars bought by us this year. To be able to handle this

remarkable number of vehicles in the face of existing compe-

tition, shows that the consumer appreciates our long experi-

ence, which enables us to have our vehicles manufactured in

such a way that we can safely recommend them to our cus-

tomers. There is nothing so desceptive (sic) as a vehicle, the out-

side finish may look good, but unless there is intrinsic value

beneath the paint, trouble is sure to follow.

We had a car of buggies to arrive which had been counter-

manded, and in order to induce us to accept them, the freight

was paid by the factory, which means a saving of $5.00 to $10.00 for

each vehicle. We were compelled to procure a house in which to open

up these goods, and will now sell them from $5.00 to $10.00 less

than regular price. They are all 1908 styles and range from

$35.00 up. Here is a chance to get a good vehicle for a little money.

A line of drummers' samples in lap robes, no two alike, at 20

per cent discount. A bargain in lap robes if you come quick.
