Hi
There They Are, the Pretty
Cows Coming Down-
the Roadway
at the foothills of the Allegheny
Mountains Holsteins,. Durhams and
Alderneys.
Standing on. the bridge over the
Creek, close by the mineral springs, one
seems to be looking at a real Troyon
cattle painting, true to life.
The old colored man, with an Uncle Remus
face, the master keeper of the herd, is leading
his flock away from the sun-parched fields to
the fresher pasture grounds. He says he "bees
gittin' old," but his fine, big benevolent eyes
keep close watch on each member of his four
footed, long-eared family, and he talks to them,
calling their names. ,
The same old handsome Holstein cow is still
the leader, heading the seventeen cows, who,
dumb as they are, nearly always follow.
The other morning one of the handsome
black beauties lingered behind for some time.
Old Billy hobbled up to her and said, "Bessie,
what's you about anyhow; 'ees you 'spectin'
anybody? Ain't you 'shamed? Yure jist a bad
old girl."
Blessings on our caretakers,, be they black
or white, who arc doing their best to help us
along safely.

TVTUCH of the upholstered furniture we sell
A is made in our own workrooms by our
own people.
We have given this class of furniture a
great deal of study. We brought some of the
finest overstuffed pieces from Europe, particu
larly from England, and when we ripped them
open we found them as excellent as they are
reputed to be, but not as good as the pieces .we
ourselves made.
This overstuffed furniture of ours is of the
custom-made type, as distinct from the factory-made
kind.
Everything that goes into it is of the best
kind webbing, springs, twine and fillings.
The only fillings we'use are clean, curled hair
and down no tow, moss or trash; and the
workmanship is careful to extremes.
We can sell this custom-made furniture
for a great deal less than we would have to
charge for the same class of goods if we had
to buy them from somebody else.
In other words, no furniture that would
come anywhere near it in quality could be sold
for so little. A saving of even 10 per cent on
this furniture means more than an apparent
saving of twice as much on the kind that is not
nearly as good.

Men's "Club Stripe" Neckties
of Fine Silk Rep at $1
All well-dressed men know and admire what is known as the

clubs in their scarfs.
Getting some pieces of fine silk rep at a special price, we had
an American maker copy a lot of the broad diagonal club stripes
in various colors. The result is that wc can sell for $1 each a
little lot of tics that would ordinarily be twice this price.

In the August Bedding Sal
Economy Is Based on Quality
People who begin to economize in bedding had better be careful not that there
is no good bedding at low prices, but that so much low-priced bedding is purposely
skimped or curtailed in quality to meet a seeming reduction.
All the bedding in our half-yearly sale is of the standard kind we sell all through
the year. The only change made is in the prices.
If ever you see bedding that seems to be the same as ours, but marked lower,
you will invariably find that jn some particular it i3 inferior to ours, through a curtail
ment of size or the use of inferior materials.
There is no excuse for buying doubtful bedding while bedding of undoubted
quality is going in this Sale in unstinted choice at actual reductions from our regular
prices. I
This applies to all mattresses, pillows, bolsters and springs in our stock.
