Prevailing high prices for all foodstuffs induces every household to utilize every foot of ground for garden purposes. Nobody can have a good garden without shovels, hoes, rakes, etc., to properly prepare and keep the soil in a condition to secure a maximum yield. Bear in mind that this store has a large supply of garden tools as good as made and don’t forget to buy them here. We also have a large variety of seeds. i WILLARD E.
