SUBLIMITY CITIZEN SECURES PATENT SPECIALS AT DITTER BELL & CO. A very practical grader and draff combined has been invented by John Kintz o f Sublimity. Oreffon. It is inexpensive and simple o f construction. For draff purposes it can be operated by one man and a team of three horses. When used for ffradinff four horses are ffenerally used. Mr. Kintz has been road supervisor in his district for a number of years and has tried many devices for ffradinff and levelinff roads. The followingr cut ffives a very ffood idea of the invention. SUBLIM ITY, OREGON From March 12 to M arch 31, w e will offer to the trade the following high class merchandise At These Extremely Low Prices Practical Grader and Drag Hosiery JOHN KINTZ, Inventor He has used this draff in his district for a considerable period with excellent results. It is perhaps the most practical device ever invented to keep roads in condition. It will also be found invalu-1 able for levelinff land for general farm purposes. It is primarily intended to keep roads in condition for travel although it has been used with good results in the first construction and no doubt will be in general use in the near future. Mr. Kintz secured his patent in last November. He has one o f the new model in use at the present time and two others are being constructed. The construction of the device is simple and strong and will last indefinitely. Any one interested in geod roads wishing to look at this grader may do so by calling at the farm of Mr. Kintz near Sublimity, where he has one complete and two more under course o f construction. He contemplates manufacturing them for sale to the general public in the near future. However, in order to intro duce them in a general way to establish their superiority over other devices in road work he is planning on granting special permits to I counties and road districts to make and use them for road”purposes. Any one who is interested in road work will do well to inspect this ! grader. Mr. Kintz states that this grader not only does better! work than any other device he has seen, but will do a great deal ■ i more work in the same time. During these times of high prices for labor md materials it ought to ne a boon to road work. adv. : Miscellaneous Dry Goods SALE PRICE Calico............ ........................... 18c...................................12c Percale 36-inch...................... 36c.....................................28c Dress Gingham............ .......... 30c .................................25c Apron Gingham ................... 30c ................................24c Comforter Goods ........... 4 0 c .................................. 32c Cretonnes............................... 3 0 c .................................. 23c O utings................. ................. 3 0 c ................. * .............23c Coats Crochet C otton........... 1 5 c ........ ............................12c SALE PRICE Ladies Burspn................................60c.................. .......... 40c Ladies Burson................................4 0 c ...........................33c Indies Beaver Knit...................... 3 6 c ........................... 22c Childrens Hose..............................4fk'.............................40c Childrens H o s e .............................40c............................ 33c Childrens Hose.............................. 35c........................... 30c ^Childrens Underwear, two-piece garments, in gray and white, all sizes, at 7c reduction on the garment.
