Buying at Half Price
"Oil, I can set a range Ju.st like that fur half the money, from
a cntalng house."
Have you ever hoard tho nhovo expression? It's just about
as ridiculous as it sounds. To start with, there is not a range bold
l)y a catalog house that is one-third as good as tho
GREAT MAJESTIC
Malleable and Charcoal Iron
Range
and we are riht here on the ground to prove it, if you will call and
give us a chance.
Suppose you ordered one of the ranges from a catalog house,
the best you would m-l is a Cast lnm and Steel Hange, mado of the
cheapest material that can be bought for that purpose. It is bolted
together, because, you can't rivel cast iron. Tho cracks and cor
ners are lillcd with stove putty. It will do what you might con
sider good work for six months or maybe a year at any rate, until
you have paid fur it. What happens then? Kvpatision and con
tract ion work the bolts loose the putty falls out cold air gets
into the range you are compelled to use a lot of fuel and keep
your range red hot to get the oven lint enough to bake. This
constant bent burns out the lire-box you need new parts your
range is out of commission for two or t hree weeks, probably a
month, while you are getting new parts. You must pay good money
for these parts, because you need them. You must pay the ex
press charges, too. Then, when you finally get the parts, you find
the tire-box so warped out of shape from the intense beat that it
takes a mechanic to place them more expense, Finally you get
the range geing again. You find things you bake in the oven are
always full of ashes and soot, ami on examining the oven you find
large openings where the putty has fallen out. You can't get some
one from the catalog house to come and put in more putty, so you
must ask your local man to help you out more expense. In a
llt.tle while you find a hole has rusted or burned through the thin
steel body, (let the tinner to put n patch over the hole more
expense. .lust about this time you begin to realize you have an
expensive range, and either throw ii out or wait a few weeks longer
until it falls to pie. es.
Now, just suppose you ordered A GRKAT M.-UKST1C KANilK
from us.' To begin with you pay a little more money than you did
for catalog house ranue, but von ixet the best that is made.
M.W.LKAltl.K I HON AND CH ARCOAL IKON IS KYKlt YT1IING IN
A KANGIO. It can't break doesn't rust all joints are rivited to
gether perfectly air light. No stove puttv. Xn cold air enters the
range and no hot air esc;. pes. U won't use liatf the fuel, as all the
heat stays in the range, where it should be. You are not compelled
to burn out the range to get the oven hot enough to bake. You
don't constantly spend money for repairs, because there is nothing
that can break or get out of lix.
To be sure, we make a profit on that range. Don't we deserve
ft? We are looking after your interest, why shouldn't you pay us
a reasonable profit if it pays you to do it?
To whom do you pay the profit when you huy from a catalog
house? Why tno-t assuredly to the catalog house. They don't
know you, consequently don't care what happens after they have
their money. They don't make the range they sell; they do the
same as we buy from the manufacturers. The only difference is,
thev buv the cheapest they can get and sell for all they can get;
while we buy the lest and are satisfied with a reasonable profit,
depending on the future for more sales.
(live-this matter a careful thought, and If you are not satisfied
with this argument, put your catalog under your arm and come
and see us; show us what they will do for you. and we will show
you where wo can do better. Don't you think that's fair?

' One of the most fertile and rich
sections of Douglas county is the
Smith r'-rr bottom. Anyone who
hag never been up Smith river from
finrdtner would not realize the won
ilerful productiveness of tills valley,
nor the umount of line bottom luuu
.that lies alone each slue of the river.
Although the chief business of the
. farmers Is dalrylne. they produce tne
ilnest kind of fruits and vegetables,
especially apples, pears, prunes and
berries. There beine no chance at
. present to act such produce to mar-
I ket, the farmers do not attempt to
raise more of these kinds of products
:than for their own and local con-
- sumption. There are samples of po
tatoes in tho show windows of the
Heed & Jewell Co.'s store that would
taks a prize at any fair. Smoothe
and without a blemish of any kind,
wcH'.Miir on an averaue three pounds
iter, and this is not uncommon. The
fruits are Inriie, sound and luscious,
raised v-ithout any care. Hut as was
isald before, the principal business Is
ii;ilr ini:. although some beef stock
is riihed. The logged off hlll-sldes
make tine range, where plenty of
'grass grows, keeping cattle fat the
vear around without extra feed. The
very best grades of dairy stock is be
ing imported, and the several herds
will challenge comparison with any
other herds In the slate. Their cream
is all shipped to the creamery at
Itefdsimrt. the farmers receiving the
highest price for the same. A few
years ago most of theso people were
in debt, but now t hey all appear to
be prosperous, having line residences.
The hams and out-houses are up-to-date,
with good fences where need
ed. Most all the farmers own
launches, the highway of travel be
ing the Smith river which Is navig
able for Iwenty-ilve miles above Gar
diner. There are a great many Ut
ile valleys tributary to this section
that will ill time lie made to pro
duce a variety of prolitablo products.
The onlv draw-back now being a
I method of transporting produce to
! market, but that will be alleviated
with the coming of the railroad; then
the population of this section will he
more than thiibled with room for
liiaiiv more.
The friends of James Watson nnd
Or. Si'iher are expecting them here
in the near future to go on a duck
limit. Warren Iteed is getting his
hail: llxed up and bis launch in run
aing order, taking the precaution to
have ailing life preservers and one
ir more foot ball suits. Tor they may
lie n led. The doctor Is expected
to provide the arnica and bandages.
The new creamery at Keedspoli
;s now running and receiving cream,
't is more centrally located than the
one that was recently burned, and
more up-to-date In every respect, and
its operators expect to do a larger
volume of business and give satisfac
tion to lis pillions than ever before.
