Dear Sir; How much gold do you sell in the course of a year? and how mnch pewter? how many 18 karat watches? how many filled cases ? No matter. A man may wear a gold looking watch, or gold; its nobody's business The money he didn't pay yon he may have in the bank Some women may wear pewter; and paste may be as good as a diamond. Not so with paint. Poor paint lets property go to waste. Lead and oil is good for three years, but that is the end of its wholeness. Zinc is as good for six years as lead for three. Lead and oil will keep out water three years; Devoe lead and zinc six years—sixteen in favorable conditions. Yours truly, 71 F. W. DKVOK & Co. P. S.—Patterson Bros, sell our paint in Butler.

CLINTON, Bntler, P. O. When I Say That The Davis Sewing Machine leads all others, it is not merely to fill a column with an advertisement I mean that no other machine is so simple' I mean that no other machine is so finely made! And that no other machine is so easily run! The "Davis" is polished like a watch; it will not kill a woman to run it; it will do more than double the variety of work, without bastintr, than any other machine can do. All other sewing-machine men acknowledge thin, but says, "Our's is the cheapest." Hut I say that to buy a cheap sewiug ma chine is not economy. The best is al ways the cheapest. I also sell Behr Bros' Mat?lilesa Pianos. For farther i information address W. B. MCCandless, McCandless, Pa. Art in Walt I'aper.
