Geot Me ‘Gets-It’ Quick!” 2 Drops Make Corn “Fall” Off ! *“T've joined the Never-Again Club. Never again will I use anything for corns but ‘Gets-It.” Put 2 drops of ‘Gets-It’ on, and from that sec- ond the corn begins to shrivel, “Oh, Don’t Touch It! It’s So Sore!” Use “Geta-It” and It Will Never Be Sore! instead of swelling up like a little white sponge. Then it loosens from your toe—and, glory ha.llelujah' the corn comes off as thouph you'd take a glove off your hand!” Yes, “Gets-It"” is the corn discov- ery of the age. More “Gets-It” is sold by many times than any other corn remedy in existence. Try it and you'll know the rea: n why. It takes:{wo seconds to apply it, and it dries at once. That's all. Don't experiment—follow the experience of millions and use “Gets-It.” “Gets-It” is sold everywhere, 25c & bottle, or sent on receipt of price by E.

The Gas Gompany Is On the Job The Simplex Universal Combina- tion Range is the latest achievement in the combination coal, wood and gas stoves. In order to change from wood to gas you simply turn on your gas key, which opens the burner in the oven and lets on the gas ready to light. There is no plate to move whatever. The arrangement is such that if your wood fire is a little low vou can switch on a little gas and burn both wood and gas. We are ready to demonstrate the advantages of the Universal and as the Gas Company is putting the mains in it will be to your advan- tage to look the Universal over. When vou are in don’t forget to have us show you the Blue Beauty Range. We had a customer in see- ing it the other evening and she said she would sooner have that range than a piano. She certainly would get an article that looked just as good, would be more useful and are much cheaper in price compared with a piano. Queen Incubators Why not have a nice bunch of chickens to sell this fall whe the prices of meats and eggs are bound to be high? It will surprise you what a bunch of chickens will bring in beside supplying vou with lots of eating. We handle the Queen In- cubator and can thoroughly recom- him the utmost of service and hatch. Carl Nelson, proprietor of the Shore Acres Truck farm, says they are dandies. Carl says he set 250! eggs and got a record of 235 chick- ens; pretty hard to beat that. DoLaval Gream Separators Why do you persist in feeding 48- cent butter fat to your calves and pigs? It is not the butterfat that puts beef on your stock, but is the mother warmth. Without a cream separator you lose a big percentage of your butterfat and then have to feed your young stock on cold skim milk. With a DeLaval cream sep- arator you get ALL the cream and then your warm milk is ready to feed to the stock. It has been proven that a calf will do better on separator milk than it will on skim milk. We sell the DeLaval on easy monthly payments and would appre- ciate the privilege of letting you try one without any obligation on your part. Peter Frost on the Becida road had us take him out a No. 12 DeLaval and says it is surely a dandy. Minnesota Paints Bring in une size of your build- ings and let us give you an estimate of what it will cost you to get paint for them. It will surprise you when you find out how little difference there is over a couple of years ago. It will not pay you to let those build- ings go without paint, and Minne- sota Paint is the cheapest in the long | run as it covers more than the great majority of paints, because it is a Pure Lead and Oil paint. John Deere Farm Machinery Have you ever stopped to think what a name like the JOHN DEERE stands for behind a line of goods? The John Deere people have insisted in putting out a complete line of goods that are made to preserve the reputation that has been established by them. In most lines of their makes ‘hey are in @ class by them- selves when it comes to the capacity of their plants and if they wanted to they could put out a cheaper ma- chine than anyone on the market. But they insist on keeping up the high grade of their goods, for if ONE PIECE of their machinery was put out and would not give good service it would not only spoil the sale of that article, but also spofl their reputation in other lines. That is the reason for the high quality of the John Deere goods and we are proud to be able to offer you this line. We have a very complete line at this time and ask your inspection of same before you purchase elsewhere. We want you to see other goods, if possible, before you buy as the more machinery you see the stronger you will feel toward the JOHN DEERE LINE. There’s a reason. Hoover Potato Planters, the most accurate on the market, are much in demand right now and we would advise you to call in early and place your order.
