SECOND “LETTER FROM Plains nearer by” and “Buffalo We Originate this Low Price In the matter of price consider that ours is a low cash price. Four stores buying together give a prestage not possible for one. Paying cash for merchandise and tak- pe advantage of every penny of discount reacts in your ‘avor. We buy where the price is right and the value the best possible. We are under no obligations to buy where price is not to advantage. Our duty\as merchants is to secure for our customers the best possitle merchandise for the lowest possible price and this we will do. Our customers know this and not only give us their business but advise their neighbors to trade with us as a result our business is rapidly increasing. Why? Because it is to economy. Why not save for yourself? We are agents for the famous Bon Ton corsets. a make of corsets well known to good dressers.

How-! ever I want to cut back a bit and | explain that I have just thought of a few things down at the low- er that should have been men- tioned. There is, for instance, at the Battery the Aquarium. Many visitors find that of ab- sorbing interest. They have there several hundreds of vari-| ous kinds of fishes including about all those to be found hereabouts, in Idaho, and in Illinois where I and a large num- ber of Cottonwood people grew up, and even a good many from foreign countries. I learned there that an ugly looking thing that | we used once in a while to catch | on the Little Wabash in Illinois and called the Dogfish is not the actual Dogfish, or Hellbender at all but merely the Puppyfish. The Dogfish looks much worse. Still another that interested me was the Flounder. I almost) wrote that fried Flounder be- cause that is the way I have mostly known it. Well, the one they have down there at least I only saw the one, is a curious | animal. Just a very thin, flat | fish with only one eye that looks just as if there had _ originally been two of him and they had cut away the other half. It is uneanny. Here is apparently a half of a fish floating looking just like an ordinary flat fish on the one side but merely like an expanse of white | meat on the other. Sometimes | he swiss like other fish do, the proper way I think too, and some times he lies flat down on the} side of him that isn’t there and just scoots along that way. This may sound fishy but if you | don’t believe it you come here | and I’ll show you Clarence, as 1| named this one, and you will be | convinced, Then, down in that | district there is the spot on Wall | Street on which George Wash- | ington took the oath of office as | the first pr esident of this coun- | try, which is certainly of histori- | cal interest. Also, right on| Broadway there are two very old | Episcopal churches, Trinity and St. Paul’s with their church-| yards, or cemeteries, around | them. They are still being used | and most likely will be for a long |! time but the churchyards have | “ been filled this long while and | {1 don’t know. | character with their around | ngs and then the later Hump farther off. “It modestly enough at Washington Park but you don’t have ‘to’ go along it very far until you are conscious that here is a street that is different.. It is no ordinary commercial strect but, with afew lamentable’ excep- tions, is given over to fine shops selling the unusual or the un- ustially good, books objects of art’and so on. The finest of hotels and restaurants are to be found here, as well as_ clubs, churches, ‘the public library, flowér shops and jewelry stores famous the’ world over. ‘Ina word it is just beautiful and that covers it all. There are no street cars. Only buses that are oper- ated by the city and even these are fine te look upon. They carry some thirty passengers inside and that many more on top and a favorite diversion here on fine days is to take a bus ride on Fifth Avenue, Candor compels me to state that prices on the whole are fully as high as the quality of the street but in‘many instances they are no higher than elsewhere and it is a pleas- ure to buy things here. Anyhow, no one is compelled to buy here and a stroll is as free as the air we breathe and even the bus ride only cost ten cents. Exactly what accounts for all this beauty However, at one time the avenue was the home of the weathiest people and T suppose that the first shops put in naturallly tried to put up a good appearance so as to be in surround- comers just had to follow suit. Now there is'a Fifth Avenue Associa- tion which has some control over |the erection of new buildings, advertising is either forbidden or frowned out of existence and no ‘display of electric lights is per- mitted. May is always be so. It should be stated tho’ that the avenue, tho it extends to T {don’t know where, loses interest after it reaches 59th Street, or the corner of Central Park. After that it is merely a street \facing the park and while good jenough in its way Joses_ its distinctive character. There are fine places along here too but what is meant by Fifth Avenue is really what lies below 59th | Street just as what is meant by Broadway is the threatrical | district, the downtown part be- jing usually specififed as Lower Broadway. If I ever get to be mayor we'll make that official too. There remains now to be A DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR EARNED An implement shed doubles the life of your ma- chinery.
