S LIST OF FREELAND MERCHANTS j WHO Grl^lE | Hard debate Gtats Will Cast) Pitas. \ PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY. i EXPLANATION ? lle me . rc hants whose names appear in this Directory are the leaxi f ing business people in this vicinity: they want your cash trade, and [ in order to secure it they are going~to"give STANDARD REBATE CHECKS. One check for 1 i every ten-cent purchase or ten with every dollar, etc. When you have saved the required number of Q'TANFIARn RFRATF fHRfHQ from t any or all of these merchants combined, you exchunge "DlmlTi l/DuUIVJ >, at our stores WHICH ARE PERMANENTLY LOCATED IN "THE BETHLEHEMS,' - or K at any of our Branches, for useful and attractive articles to decorate your home. Rebate ' Cheeks bring cash trade and cash trade is always worth 5 percent. The merchant makes : no advance on his goods, but on the contrary, can and does sell cheaper. The merchant may not always think to give you Rebate Checks. For that reason, you must ask for them: they \ belong to you for cash tflade: you are not begging for them, and it pleases the merchants to i get your cash trade. The Standard Rebate Check puts business on a cash basis, enables the 1 merchant to pay his debts, purchase his goods cheaper, and does not figure in his losses a lot P of dead book accounts. Are you not entitled to a discount if you payjcash? Pay cash and f ask for Standard Rebate Checks. They belong to you. ► • Standard Rebate Check Company's Stores, | 30 East Third Street, South Bethlehem, Pa. L 45 South Main Street, Bethlehem, Home Office. [132 South Main Street, Bethlehem, Pa.

The defense offered by Secretary Gage to the Sulzer resolution lias taken away the breath of his best friends. Refore it was submitted, it was taken for granted by them that he would at least have some excuse to offer for his extraordinary custom house deal, in stead, he really confesses that he entered into a conspiracy to deprive the city and state of New York of the taxes on the property, puts forward a pitiful evasion in regard to the rent question, and finally excuses his direct violation of law in treating national bank deposi tories as part of the treasury depart ment, by stating that It has been customary to so regard them, although a recent, as well as an ancient, decision of the supreme court positively states that they are nothing of the kind. The act authorizing the sale of the custom house provided that the monoy received therefor should be covered into the treasury, but the secretary attempts to lead the country to beliove that the sale was made under the general act of 1864, according to which the right to deposit the proceeds might possibly bo inferred by those strongly partisan to that view. He has the assurance to add that his action in regarding depositories as part •f the treasury is supported by deci sions of the supreme court, but does not yenture to tell by what decisions, and Glassware Tasos 300-400- 900-600-800-1000 Water Set* 600-600 Tea Sets, 4 pieces iutKWWU -800 Hose Bowl* ' JOU per [pair Lemonade Seta 500-800 Chlnaware'and Crockery Lamps 300-400- 600-800-800-1000- 1000-1600-lOUO-JOOO Jardlneres 900-400- 500 Tea Sets. 56 nieces 1000-1500 Toilet Seta, 10 piece* .. .1000-1300-1500 Dinner Bets, 112 pieces 0000-2600 Ciubrella Stands 800-1000- 1000-0000 Taso6, per pair 100-400- 600-600-800-1008 Chocolate Pot* 400-600- 600-800-1000 Clock* 500-000- 800-100 hi it, Uuarrrf.
