Bicyclists Haifa can of "Never Leak Fluid" pumped into any bicycle tire makes it positively puncture proof; that is, will iustantlj' heal or mend the leak so that you'll never know you had a puncture.- It is simply pumped into the tire with an ordinary bicycle pump, and left there, where it never evaporates and is always ready to plug a puncture at once. Don't wait until 3-011 have a puncture. Inject the fluid at ouce and pins, needles or tacks have no more terrors. Works equally well in single or double tube tires. Come in the store to-day and test it for yourself by tak ing an awl or tack and runniug it in the tire. Hundreds of punctures made at the same time in the same tire will be nealed or mended instantly without deflating the tire. You know how exaperatiug a puncture is when you're miles from home or railroad, and every step you trudge you wish for just such a preventative as this. We guarantee it to do all that is claimed for it, or will refund the money.. Warranted not to injure any tire; 5 100,000 bucks up the guarantee. Ask to see the legal guarantee, executed be fore a uotar' public. Quo can fixes the two tires. Price, 50c. a can. See it in our west window to-day. We arc sole agents for Scranton. There are other tire fluids, but there is only one "Never Leak." This. is the only article backed up a responsible guarantee. I Rexford's, Water-Damaged It is well known that our tine stock. ot Carpets, Draperies, etc., has never been offered at "great reductions," "clearance sales," etc., for tlie reason that the goods were new and select in styles, durable in quality, and right in price. The recent lire in the Coal Kxclian&'e has made conditions different. The pattern and quality is still the same, but the appearance is somewhat impaired by having been wet. Our trade is such that we cannot afford to have anything i n the store with even a suspicion of damage. Therefore every grade of goods must be closed out for what it will bring whether damaged or not. If you need anything lor Moors or windows, you may never again have the opportunity of buying, such goods at such prices. We Have On Hand e . fHE BEST STOCK . IN THE CITY . AIM the Newest.
