Good Things to Eat
WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUGHARYS'
OFFICE BOY
6 4a
It must be a great consolation to a
widow to know that the insurance
more than covers the loss. It's only
natural for a widow to looking out for
number one, but I know a number
down where we live who are looking
out for number two. I heard a fellow
say, "If you've got hay fever don't
marry a grass widow." I guess people
don't get the bay fever around these
parts; it's mostly alfalfa. A fellow
came in the store the other day and
said to the boss, "Why don't you hire
a man to write your ads and a kid to
run tbe errands?" Gee, wouldn't that
turn your whiskers gray? I guess
that was a dig at me. I nave been so
busy in the store of late to carry pack
ages and so they come In the store and
hand them to me. Well, you can lay
bets" on one thing and that is I am
cut out for a literary career. Some
day J,will be a big editor and mould
publics thought Meanwhile I am
satisfied with being a big eater ar j
helping to run the Loughary Grocery.
If you're a big eater you .know we are
the people and if you're 'a big editor
you know our thoughts; viz, "Good
things to eat and drink."

During the month of June it will be our privilege to
exhibit the most exclusive line of carpets ever brought
to this city. Particular attention has been paid to get
ting designs that would please the most fastidious
tastes in carpets. Pretty designs when taken with
good solid weaving is what makes a carpet to be de
sired. We can guarantee that our carpets are first
class. . We have been asked by some manufacturers to
buy seconds in carpets. Some with slight defects,
something a customer would never notice, just a few
mis-threads, but we declined. Its something you
would find out in the time to come and we can not
afford that. We have always bought the first-grade
and let some one else have the other kind.
Thats what we want you to know and we want you to
examine the goods and know for yourself its the truth.
