WBuy This Mail Order House Has Grown! We hear the Associated Merchants in their conventions and speeches talking loudly against the mail order houses. What is the MEANING of this association? What is the object of all their argument? It it their IDEA TO REDUCE PRICES to the farmer or to try to keep out anybody who undersells them? . Every result must have its cause. The great and continued growth of this and other reliable mail order houses is the best proof of their nglitful place in merchandising. You cannot DENY to anyone .what is RIGHT ULLT THEIRS. It is certainly the FARMER'S RIGHT to buy where he can get the LOWEST PRICES on DEPENDABLE goods. Because of modern meth ods of immense quantity buying, linked with a cash system, the mail order house SAVES THE EXPENSE OF THE MIDDLEMEN for its customers. A farmer sold part of his apple crop for 40 cents per box. In one box he put a note asking what price the apples brought at the retail store. The man who bought the apples wrote the farmer that he had paid $2 for the box. Who got the $1.60? This talk about the mail order "evil" is just an excuse for antiquated retail methods and a useless system of middlemen. At first the farmer was told he would be taken advantage of by the mail order houses. Millions of satisfactory transactions have disproved this. The mail order house is more liberal in its guarantees and dealings than nine-tenths of the retail stores. The mail order house brings its immense stocks its low prices to the door step of the farmer. His family is Hving betternjoyingrt conveniences --and is keeping out of debt by BUYING FOR CASH AT BOTTOM PRICES and SELLING their PRODUCTS FOR CASH at TOP PRICES. To use plain language, THE FARMER IS NO FOOL! He believes in KEEP ING HIS MONEY AT HOME and is learning to KEEP IT IN HIS OWN POCKET. . ,j v A copy of our Complete Catalog is a guide to economy which should be in every home in the Northwest.

A Real Flesh Builder For Thin People WHO WOCLD INCREASE WEIGHT. Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or IS pounds of healthy "stay-there" fat should try eat- lns a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here is a good test worth trying. First weigh yourself and treasure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet with every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It Isn't a ques tion of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and tape measure will tell their own story. Many people, having followed these simple direc tions, report weight increases of from five to eight pounds with continued gains under further treatment. Sargol does not of Itself make the fat but mixing with your food Its purpose Is to help the digestive organs turn the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten. Into rich, ripe, fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepare It in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept. A great deal of this nourishment now passes from thin people's bodies as waste. Sargol Is designed to stop the waste and make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargol Is non-injurious, pleasant, efficient and Inexpensive. Leading druggists are authorized to sell It In large iuxes 40 tablets, to a package on a guar antee of weight Increase or money back as found In every package. Adv. i
