We've Planned for You
Winter orSummer, whatever tbe season, you will always find that
we have speut months in planning and preparing ior that partioular
time that's part of tbe Davis-Kaser idea of service safeguarding the
intereets'of its customers in tbe matter of quality, in tbe matter of
prioe and by bating the proper merobandise when wanted. Noting
tbe tendenoy of tbe markets we plaoed large orders for onr piiooipal
Hues tefoie piioe advanoes beoame eSeotive. As a result we are able
to soil most of onr lines at last year's prioea so long as present atook
lasts. But none should delay pnrobasing. Onr advantageous prioea
are likely to so deplete our stooks before tbe season is over, and wben
ws have to replenish we will have to pay almost as muoh ia Borne oases
as we are cow eelling for.
Buy" now--It pays.
Among tbe lines we are selling al old prices for tbe present are
tbe following: Palmer hammocks and Coneb hammocks; Automatio
Refrigerators; Ioe Cream Freezers; Croquet sats, $1.00 to 14.00; Wash
ing MBOhines; Wringers; ABU metal Beds and Cribs; Goodrion and
Cbiettain Beel Hose; Stmgis Luxnry Go-Carts; (Wonarob Malleable
Ranges; Tudor Poroh Shades; World brand Silvorware; Fine Out
(Jlass; Rugs, all grades.
Buy Ruga now. AH manufacturers of Roes have advanced prioea
veiy ebnrply on many grades and some ooloriogs will not te obtain
able when present stooks are exhausted. Tben, too, onr atook is nn
usually complete as to styles, quality and size, wbils at present prioea
tbey are distinot bargains.

A Marohant Cured After Having Olven Up Hop.
Foley & Co., Chicago.
Gentlemen: I was aKlicted with Kidney and
Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous
preparations without getting any relief and had given
up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY'S KIDNEY
CURE was recommended to me. After using one
bottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking
six fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kid -cy and
Bladder trouble and have not felt so vtell for the past
twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY'S KIDNEY
CURE. James Smith, Bentons Ferry, W. Va.

of Suffering.
R. A. Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writea:
"Most of the time for ten yeara I was confined to my
bed with some disease of the kidneys. It was ao
severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted
the best medical skill available, but got no relief until
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me.
I am grateful to be able to say that it entirely cured me."
