Readers of this paper should not get
the idea that Cole’s Hot Blast is in any
sense an experiment. It has been proved
supreme over all heating stoves by years
of use by hundreds of thousands of
customers. Their annual output of the
famous Cole’s Hot Blast from Chicago,
the Original, is 60,000 stoves. They are
in use in every state of the Union in
the homes of capitalists and wage earn-
ers, and the most enthusiastic testimoni-
als are received at the factory of the
Cole Manufacturing Co. in Chicago
every day.
The reason the Cole’s Hot Blast is
three times over the biggest selling soft
coal heater is because the patented fea-
tures that make it remarkable are con-
trolled by the Cole Manufacturing Co.,
and, therefore, could not be used on any
other stove.
So Cole’s Hot Blast is backed by its
astounding guarantee only after the
manufacturers have proved in thousands
of cases absolutely everything they guar-
antee.
We have a letter from the President
of the Cole Manufacturing Co. author-
izing us to guarantee every purchaser
of Cole’s Hot Blast in this way:
Cole’s Hot Blast is guaranteed to re-
duce the fuel bill a third over any lower
draft stove of the same size; guaranteed
to hold fire from Saturday night until
Monday morning; guaranteed to have a
smoke proof feed door; guaranteed to
remain air tight as long as used; guar-
anteed to give uniform heat day and
night with soft coal, hard coal or lignite;
guaranteed to use less hard coal for
heating a given space than any base
burner with same size fire pot, and guar-
anteed to heat the rooms from one to
three hours in the morning with the fuel
put in the day before fwhich does away
with kindling or rebuilding the fire each
morning).
This is making a great heater business
try phone or write me and I will in-
spect vour property and allow you
the most liberal terms that can be giv-
en and do a safe business, and in case
of a loss I will use my influence to see
that you get a fait settlement. The
fire loses have been enormous this
year and it is not surprising if the
utuals are small companies all drop
out. Take none but the best. But
don’t fail to take the best. Better to
have insurance and have no loss than
to have a loss and have no insurance.

Geo. W. Ragsdale, Agent.
W. G. Moses living near town, has
brought in some Egyptian wheat or
corn, raised on his farm, which is
supposed to be the same grain Joseph
gave to his brethren in Egypt. The
grain somewhat resembles wheat and
grows on a stalk like cane. Several
stalks grow from one seed, and the
yield is from 300 to 400 bushels per
acre. Experts say it is fine feed and
will make good flour. The grain is
on display at Snyder’s grocery.
The house on Ed Baumgaertner's
farm just west of town burned last
Sunday. The house was occupied by
Charley Simpson, who lost every-
thing he had in the fire. When the
house burned Mr. Simpson and fam-
ily were attending church, and when
they returned their home and house-
hold goods were in ashes. No insur-
ance on house or goods. Origin of
fire unknown.
There is some pleasure, of course, in seeing cotton grow,
but the real reason for raising cotton is to sell it for
money.
When you raise cotton and get money for it, there is
always danger that the money may be lost, unless you
put it in a safe place.
If you are raising cotton, corn or anything else that
grows on a farm, you are liable to loose all the results of
your labor, unless you place in safety the money that
comes from it.
We offer you a safe place for the money that arises from
your crops, and if you are a customer of ours, you will
always have a strong friend, able and willing to help you
between times when you need money to make crops.
If you are raising cotton or anything else that grows, and
if you want to place the money that resules therefrom in
safety, and if you want pecuniary assistance and advice
that will be of advantage to you, we invite you to become
a customer of this bank.
With a record of Twenty-six Years of Continuous Service
in your midst, we feel as though we are not an experiment
but the REAL THING. We invite your account.
