k VOL. XXX. Buggy Buyers, Wouldn't you rather deal with a wise buyer than a shrewd seller? Our 1908 line of VEHICLES proves to you that we can sell you a better buggy for less money than anyone else, and we are right here to demonstrate it; compare our vehicles with anything offered by anyone, anywhere or any time. Our Columbia and Sayers & Scovill are the ONLY buggies; that is why we have selected them for our high-grade line. We have just this week unloaded another car of these buggies, in. which there are some of the latest style Auto, Phaeton Seat, Bike Gear, etc., ever brought West. We have no $100 buggies for $50, but we have the best buggy for $75 in the state. Wecan sell you a good Rubber-Tired Buggy $75.
