American railways run their passenger equipment from 60 to 100 miles
with periodical stops for lubrication. They expend annually large sums for
expert mechanics to do nothing but make inspection and recomendation.
Can the inexperience afford to undertake what the high salaried ones are
doing? Drive in and receive a thorough inspection at a nominal cost and

while you have one of our
cold drinks in your hand. These hot, stuffy days while
rulers are clashing against one another, while millions of men are
fighting for the love of their country and their ruler, demand
that a refreshing drink be served while you ponder over the grav-
ity of the Eurpean situation. Then too, nothing goes better with
serious matters, as this war is, than a nice fat cigar. Everybody
is invited to our store to read our war bulletins and discuss the re-

Inferior flour, poor potatoes, any kind of foodstuffs that are a
little “off” may spoil an otherwise perfect repast.
Some grocers make it a point of honor to never sell an article
that is “off.” They build up a reputation fiom which they are
inseparable. It is an invaluable asset in business.

of the fair, and this work will be
done as soon as they can get to it.
Mr. Holer also informs us that
after all expenses had been paid
from the subscription list that
’there was a balance of $13 left in
the treasury. This is better than
was expected, and those who so
successfully handled the financ-
ing of the fair deserve credit for
their good work.
