lin Well, it was nota patchin to the flood of 1903. For it only rained 40 days and nights, and the late flood lasted 150 days and nights, and we didn’t have the looking forward ability of Noah, or we would hare built a boat and took in our uncles, aunts, cousins and all the neighbors, and we would have built it large enough to have taken in the corn fields, 80 that our many friends and customers would not have to plant their corn two or three times. But a word to the wise is sufficient. We have an inkling that corn will be a little short in acreage and probably not over 50 bushels to the acre, Hence be wise. Save all your hay, as you will need it to feed and sell and the cheapest way to save it is to come to our large Implement house and load up a Six Foot Standard Mower, the best on earth, and there is plenty of room in the wagon to put in one of our Standard Self or Hand Dump Rakes orone of our Sweep Rakes. Then after your hay is all cured. Buy a Lightning Hay Press, and bale your hay ready for market, Also remember that we are the only people in Butler that handle Bale Ties in car lots and always have what you want. You may also need a wagon. So please don’t forget our big 4—The Schuttler, Mitchell, Moline and Buerkens. They can’t be beat, and our prices are right, as we buy them in car lots and pay spot cash for eame. We still have a good atock of the best Cultivators on earth, (the Deere and Pattee) and the prices we are making would indicate that we want to sell them. So don’t be misled by other dealers talking low prices. Cheap prices are always afloat, but the goods to buy are first-class goods at the lowest market price and that is what we have to offer you. As the flood is over and you didn’t get to take your sweetheart 4 boat ride, you should come in and buy one of those Velie or Anchor buggies, as they can’t be beat for the J price and are beauties. We also have a nice line of = Bike wagons in steel and rubber tires, and our prices as low as the lowest. We also have a large stock of spring wagons and surries. Our stock of American fence and all kinds of barb and smooth wire us well as poultry netting. Also screen wire and screen doors is complete and the price is right. If in need of har- ness, robes, collars, collar pads, hats or anything to decorate the horse and bring comfort to the man, we have it. Don’t forget that we handle the Milwaukee binder, the best on earth. Bring us your produce and get the highest market price, CASH OR TRADE. Our stock of groceries and hardware was never better Call and see us. We have some bargains for you, Yours truly, Bennell-Wheele’ Merc. Co.
