The First State Bank of Grand Rapids, gives the following brief The month of September borne out the prophecies of the op- timists- The stimulus of the bountiful harvests has been felt in all branches of industry. The demand for money is coun-| try wide with a general tightening | i of the rate but the earlier fear of an acute money situation has subsid- ed to a degree although the calling of stock market loans in New York importation of gold indicates that !the requirements of the country will be big and that the bankers are mak- 3 full preparations to meet or pre- |veat unfavorable developments, Rates however, may be expected to continue | stiff throughout the fall and winter. The hardening of the money market is of course direct evidence of the commercial] expansion. The basic industry, iron and steel, continues to maintain a high degree of activity. The steel. corporations | are operating their mill capacity. The Pittsburg district reports the blowing in of additional Dlast fur- naces and the pig iron market closes the month in a strong position with prices advancing. Improvement in the textiles is marked in cotton and the broad demand for woolens is majn- tained. The only really serious factorin the situation is transportation. The car shortage of 1907 is still too viv- idly recalled not to occasion csome fear that the large crops and the strong revival in trade will make de- mands upon the railroads which they are not prepared to meet fully. An ac- tual shortage has already developed but it is by no means general, al- though acute at some of the primary grain markets of the country. Outside of Wall street, polities appears to be taken less seriously than might be expected. T he country is too deeply interested in attending to, business. By this time, with a three cornered contest for the presi- dency, an absorbing and nervous political situation might have been looked#for but the campaign, a month pefore the election, lacks the storm and stress that many believe could FURNISHING HOUSE GRAND RAPIDS.

Norway Heat — Durability — Appearance Naturally you look for—and expect--those three qualities in ANY heating stove you may buy. But— You can get HEAT out of almost any kind of a stove—if you start a fire in it and keep piling in the fuel—and enough of it. And almost any kind of a stove will last a long time—if you stick it away in some seldom-used room and light a fire in it a half dozen or so times each winter. While appearance, of course, is merely a matter of proportion, ornamentation and stove polish. The Round Oak Double Burner is not just ‘“‘any kind of a stove. on earth in its class. A strong statement? justified. It is the truth. In fact there is no other stove Perhaps. But it is The RouND Oak Double Burner is the only stove made that has a DOUBLE hot blast. Any number of heating stoves have a single hot blast which feeds one side of the fire only. But the DOUBLE hot blast—a patented RouND OAK feature—FEEDS ALL AROUND OVER THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE FIRE producing the most nearly perfect fuel combustion that has ever been obtained. The result is the greatest amount of heat from the least quantity of fuel, a small amount of clean ash, no clinkers and no soot or gas. It burns hard or soft coal, wood or coke. The magazine for hard coal is hung in the top and can be put in or taken out in a mo- ment. WARMS THE FLOOR PERFECTLY AROUND THE STOVE. Made by the “Round Oak” folks who have been making stoves of quality for the bust forty-one years. Material throughout the best that money can buy—the iron nsed is stronger than car-wheel iron! With reasonable care this stove will last a life-time. You must see this grand stove to appreciate its handsome appearance. Beautifu: in proportion and outline—rich in ornamentation—it adds attractiveness and charm to any room. The ‘‘Round Oak’’ Peosle guarantee it—so do we. Call and examine it. W. J. & H. D.
