SOBEL ORE me: Fall Announcement ZUNE: July, August and September were bigger months for trade than the same months of 1908. We propose to make October the best of all. We have the goods and are mak- ing the prices. Our new line is on the floors, and this, the largest and best Furniture Store in Bates county, was never so full of goods as now. You know we handle only first-class goods. It is a rare thing for us to have any com- plaint about our goods not giving satisfaction. We not only buy good goods but keep them in good shape and take a great deal of pains in seeing that you get home with them in good condition. Remember we have gone into the Library Voting Contest. 100 Standard Volumes and a fine Gunn Sectional book case will be given to the school—outside of the incorporated towns —securing the greatest number of votes. You are entitled to one vote for every ten cent pur- chase or paid on account. See these books and case in Hill’s Cash Store Window.
