Wherever they bear that a responsible firm is leasing, they follow up the agent, and try to securi ter ritory in that vicinity. If they cannot get a farm, they will take half of it or even ten or live acres, anything to have a lease in the vicinity of the expected test well. Sometimes they take a lease ami agree to put. down a well iu thirty flays or other short time, or forfeit Ihe lease and on the strength of that lease .ccure leases of neighboring farms, without limit of time, intending to forfeit the first lea e, ami bold and sell tin- others. Sometime* they se cure leases by saying that they represent certain large ami well known linns, and sometimes there are words in their live and ten aere leases that tie up the whole farm.

We have been telling you all summer how we l>egan the buggy business nine years ago, and now probably you would like to know how we are succeeding. We will tell you. First we like to tell it he cause it diil so much for our fellow citi zens. anil second, because it has placed us in the foremost rank among the large dealers in this great State of ours. We believe we have the largest wholesale trade, and are confident we have the lar gest retail trade also. To give you an idea, our Mr. Lieghner has just returned from N. Y. State, where he contracted to have twent\ five thousand dollars worth of one kind of carts made; thi-we believe i the largest deal of the kind ever made in the State, .lust think of it, $25,000 worth of one kind of road carts, aud then think of the many other kinds we are handling. Ton would naturally ask, "Where do they cot" Wo could not tell you here, the Freight agents at the different depots could give you some idea, but they go. One thing you may be certain of, that it's not buying ilrar and selling that makes them go. Then think of the number of l'uggies. Wagons. Harness, Ac., that we sell; it would scare you to tell you the amount we have sold since last January. You ask again, how does it come. Can't others buy for cash too and sell just as cheap as you do? We answer; We use our own capital; we pay no rent; we have not bought a bill in !» years, that we did dis count. You see we make this a business exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad vantage you will understand in an instant when we tell you. According to agree ment among carriage manufacturers the price is uuiform on same grades of work, but pureb.ners of 50 jobs or more get a di count, of 3 per cent; purchasers of KM) jobs or niorr get a dis count of 5 per cent, and purchaser- of :tOO jobs or more get a dis count of 10 per cent, which is the largest discount allowed any dealer, and as we buy more than 300 you see we can sell you work at the same price small dealers pay, and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to give you the benefit of our advantage in the market, for it is your patronage that helps us. and it is only right that while you stand with us we should not betray your confidence, and we won't. Remember we are here all the time, our word is as good as gold. You know what you are getting every time we tell you plainly. We have all kinds, the cheapest and the very best, so can just suit you; we don't try to get rich oil' one customer. We never mis represent. Call and >ee us. whether yon want to buy or not. Yours. S.
