It Is a remarkable uplift of nature,
which has tho uppeurance, however, of

One side of the mountain Is almost

Important Notice Regarding

Washington and Florida Laws, and furthermore,
that these laws have been acknowledged by the

fore, to encourage early buying we

we realize that it is much better to

Every model offered in this event
is absolutely exclusive in style and

As under the law it will be financially impossible for
us to continue the practice of giving Trading Stamps after
the enforcement of this Act, we would urge all our custo­
mers who have partially filled books to endeavor to have
them tilled as early as possible.
We are prepared as here-to-fore to live up to our guar­
antee, that is, to redeem all filled books for $2.00 in Cash
