Neckwear is a Hobby of Ours
a house that is known for its honesty
and its willingness to guarantee the
quality of its goods.
Economy requires that quality be
proportionate to price.
The home dealer is known to you.
He can not afford to sell you shoddy
or inferior article because it would
come back to him. He can not afford
to gouge you because it would put
him out of business.
Both his honor and his business
safety compel him to give you a
square deal.

on.
People who think twice before
they buy seldom make a mistake.

PLEASING PROFITS
Every farmer is in business for profit. He
is interested in anything that will increase his
profit. He knows the importance of good seed
and well bred stock. He has been talking
about it for years.
Thought and a little investment pay big
dividends in buildings as in stock and seed.
When good farm buildings will pay for
themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed
and machinery in one season—surely they can
be called a good investment.
Practical working plans, specifications and
r bills of material free to customers.
