A Successful Vacuum Cleaner for $20.00. After trying a half dozen or more low priced so-called vacuum cleaners we have at last found one that is practical and in every way satisfrctory. The Crown Vacuum Cleaner costs but $20.00, but it does all the work of any of the high priced machines. It is easily operated, requires no electric or other motive power (except hand) and is built eo that it has no intricate parts to wear out. We have thoroughly investigated the Crown and do not hesitate to recommend it. Let us have your order for one. The factory is at present sold ahead on them, so that first come, first served. A Window Full of Silk Para, sols. $1.39. Can you figure out how we can sell a Silk Parasol, made of all silk taffeta, long princess handle of white maple, cord and tassel and steel paragon frame, all for $1.39? Let us tell you, it takes pretty close figuring. The manu facturer buys a big lot of materials way under price, then he scales down the cost of making, selling, etc., and cuts his own profit in halt. Then he puts them out in big lots and the stores that have certain buying facilities get a chance at them, and we by sacrificing our profits can place before our trade a remarka ble line of Parasols at a remarkable price. The colors are navy, royal, rose, reseda, emerald, pongee, sky, etc. The Smart & Silberberq Co. OIL CITY. PA. j Oil City Trust Company, Oil City, Pa.
