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 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.
