Why Support Home
Business?
Because the money spent at home may
come back to you; that spent outside of
your town cannot return.
Because the towns that support home
stores always have the best stores.
M»INS WORK DELATED
BYINGLEMENTWEATHER
Because property values in any town are
based largely upon the prosperity of the
business interests of the community. When
you buy it at home you help to make ours
a live town with increasing property values.

Sargon Brought Health
“Sargon restored my health at a time when I thought
nothing could help me,” recently stated Frank Bennett
of 905 Macon St., Fort Worth. His statement follows:
“My troubles started two years ago when I commenced
to suffer with indigestion, I lost my appetite and w’hat
little I ate caused me lots of misery. I suffered with
gas pains around my heart, and could taste my food for
hours. I seldom got a good night’s sleep and was so
nervous at times that I would shake all over. I took
lots of medicines and treatments with no lasting benefit.
“Then I tried Sargon. My appetite returned and my
strength and energy began to come back with the first
bottle. Now I sleep fine, eat anything, and everything
agrees with me. I have gained nine pounds.
Sargon may be obtained in Deport at

tion of Scoutcraft at the next
meeting.
