The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the. Blood on the Mucous Sur-
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Our First Birthday
Just one year ago we opened our little store to the public, and
I every month since that time we have added new customers, and
I today we have a business we are proud of, and our success, we owe
to our many loyal friends and patrons, who by their constant pat-
ronage and enthusiastic support, have put the stamp of public ap-
i proval upon our store.
■ From Saturday, September 1st until Saturday, September 8th,
I we will give five per cent off on every dollar’s worth of merchandise
I bought at our store. This reduction, we trust, will serve in a small
degree at least, to express our heartfelt appreciation of your liberal
i patronage.
I Whether you are a customer or not, the honor of your pres-
j ence is requested at our store during our Celebration.
We express the hope that this Birthday Celebration will please
I you in every respect, and bespeak for our , store a continuance of
I your valued patronage for the remainder of 1917, and 1918, for we
j realize that your support and patronage is the life of our business,
i and we promise in return to continue to give the same high-class
j service, courteous treatment and reasonable prices in the future
I as we have in the past.
We hope to become an indespensable benefit to the community
and with this end in view we shall always endeavor to conduct our
j business in an honest, fair and honorable manner, with justice and
j fairness to all, and partiality to none.
Therefore we earnestly ask your support that we might grow
from a “little acorn” to a “mighty oak” and thereby become a
mighty factor in the economic and commercial sphere of our
influence, resulting to the mutual good of the community.
