But,er P *- A LITTLE TALK. The season has been a backward one on account of the wet weather, yet our business has been greater than ever — WHY IS THIS? It is easily accounted for, our theory has always been that if people are treated fairly and honestly they will appreciate it—anil for fifteen years we have pursued this policy— Never Misrepresent, nor try to get Rich off one Customer, Anil people have found this out and prefer to deal where they know they get the worth of their money— INeighborl The question to ask yourself when you think of buying a buggy or harness is—does the dealer know what he is selling—will he sell an article for just what it is and at the lowest possible price, also is his knowledge of the business sufficient that I may rely on it. Then patronize such a firm—if after all these years our repu tation is not such as to meet all these exactions in your mind, then go elsewhere —bear in mind that bug gies are cheaper now than ever in the history of our country, anil the season is here when you neeil one. CALL AND SEE US. And see if we cannot save you money—if not do not ileal, certainly this is fair. Wc never had as fine a stock of buggies, surries and harness as we have now, and remember we arc the largest Wholesale and Re tail House in our line in the state.
