as low and lower than ever, notwithstanding the fact that manu-

reality. It is customary to say in advertisements that “our prices
are the lowest,” and anything else that looks well on paper. We
don’t believe the public should be imposed upon even in adver-
tisements., We have gained a reputation since we are in business
that we are jealous of and propose sustaining that reputation so
long as our sign announces our business. That reputation is fair
and honorable dealing and prices that give us buta living profit

of a complete line of all kinds of harness, both factory and hand

flynets are the moet sought after now. We have a full stock and
can suit all in styles and quality. Trace chains, hames, halters,

will find horse brushes, curry combs, harness oil, shoe
