We Solicit the Storage of your Wool MORROW WAREHOUSE MILLING CO. o Merchant Tailor-made Suits are the Most (EdDDUdDDimOcait It has been claimed that ready-made clothes are cheapest because they are made in quantities. This is not true. If the manufacturer could have people come to his fac tory and buy there, he could not even then give good value be cause of the poor quality of material and inferior workmanship. To the original cost of the garment, the manufacturer must pay traveling salesmen's expenses and the retailer adds another profit of about 40 per cent The original "quality price" is thereby lost and the price is higher than that of a carefully merchant tailored suit made here. There are a great many men in this town who are proud to say we make their clothes. THEY KNOW WHY I have the exclusive agency in Morrow county for the Famous Detmer Woolen Cos guaranteed all pure wool. FREIDRICH The Best Tailor Pleasantly Surprised.

Tha acci dent haDDcned to him on Friday eve ning: at the swimming hole oo Willow crek wheie he was swimming with a counle of other boys, Kenneth Binns and Brownnll Pratt.
