And when anyone offers yeu goods cheaper, you will fiod by comparing the brands that they are Nor the same goods. We do our best to please you, and we know no firm in Bates county can sell you the same quality of goods cheaper than we can, for we know we buy cheaper, as we pay cash for every dollar's worth we buy; and being 20 years in business in Butler, have had lots of experience in learn- ing how to buy and what to buy. We have lots to contend with. We have competitors in the town who do not try to talk the quality ef THEIR goods, but put in their full time try ing to run ovr goods down. We don’t know what they have against us, unless it is because we have seld this year 76 buggies, road wagons and carriages; 41 walking cultivators, 27 riding cultivators, 17 corn plant ers, 6 threshing machines, 21 bar rows, 28 McCormick mowers, 10 binders and hay balers, hay loaders, and all other goods in same propor- tion. This may be what eaused the trouble. If this is what caused our com petitors to talk so bard agaiost us this year, you people will eurely hear lots of it next year, for we have already bought the same goods again for next year, and about three times as many. For when we sell a cultivator that every customer who buys says is the best they ever used, or a planter that they say could not be beaten; or a riding plow that they say could not be made better, that 8-year-old child can eperate it, then we surely would buy the same goods again, and we expect to sell three times as many next year. And we can safely say that we have the best buggies in the world: the Sayers & Scovill buggies. They were awarded first premium at the World’s Fair and every state fair wherever skown. We have sold them for the last 2 years, and enly paid out 75c for repairs. and that was for a@ wood spring bar. We have not sold all or half of these buggies our selves. Our customers that we have sold these buggies to, have sold them for us. They tell their friends or neighbors that they have used one of these buggies for one or two years, and they think itis the best buggy they ever saw, and their friend comes and gets one. And every time we cell one of these bug gies, it makes us a friend. compete in price with the cheap Plow Co. buggies. but as we havea We can’t! car of 33 of these buggies coming and are crowded for roem, will make the lowest possible price on them.
