WHY THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY? Don't Be Humbugged Any Longer. Go to Klingler's for your Flour and Feed. A heady over FIFTEEN HUNDRED FAMILIES made happy. That little "card" did it. Tho-'card" will surprise you. Every one of tbe fifteen hundred "card" customers say— "GET A CARD AND SAVE YOUR MONEY." Why pay retail prices to the dealer when you can buy direct from the manu facturers at wholesale, or at just the name price the dealer pays T The "card" grants you this privilege.

It is stronger, purer, whiter, more wholesome than any so called family flour shipped in to the town. When you buy from Kling lers, YOUR MONEY HAS A TWO-FOLD VALUE. It buy# more and better flour and feed and grain than anywhere else. But more, your money remains in Butler, and fosters your own industries and employs your own labor. DON'T DELAY.
