and served It in such a manner that
the most fastidious could have no
fault to find.

STORE NEWS
CRight on the heels of the big "Chicken Meeting" of
last week comes our announcement of Incubators and
Brooders which we handle. It is up to you now to call
and see the different lines and sizes which we carry in
stock.
C.Of course they are the Petaluma we've carried this
line for the past four years and don't see any reason why
we should change. Every one we have ever sold has giv
en great satisfaction.
CPrices range from $12.50 up to $30.00, according to
capacity. The small sizes are constructed exactly the
same as the larger ones not a thing lacking. Send for a
Free Booklet while the Chicken Raising is uppermost in
your mind. It will be interesting reading and you are
most welcome to it, even though you never buy.
CAnd on the same postal card you can ask for our
Sprayer Catalogue. We pride ourselves especially on this
line of machinery. With the variety of sizes and prices
which we can offer you, together with our guarantee of
service, we cannot help but please you. If you will but
investigate, not only the merits of our machines, but the
class of service we have given our customers, your search
for a Power Sprayer will end right here.
CWe could go into details about these machines and
tell you all about the engines and pumps, the agitator, the
trucks and equipment but you wouldn't read it. Just
send for the Catalogue and get the whole story.
CBy the way though - we've added a little outfit called
the Hardie Junior to our list made for' use with one
horse. Light outfit with a light price. Made just like
the big fellows only the capacity i3 smaller.
CGood time now too, to investigate our Plows and
Harrows, our Vehicles and Wagons, our Harness, etc.
We've got an assortment of new goods which we are
proud of.
CTake an . hour off when you are in town and just
spend it wandering around our store.
