Next morning the city man motored out to the farmer's niace on his buzz wagon and gave that astonished indi- { vidual just five minutes ta return his maney in full and just ene full day to take those notatges qut of-his cellar. Both of which thines the farmer did. The transaction having thus been con- cluded, the eity consumer registered a solemn vow that he'd never huy an- other thing of any d—Aa skin of a farm- er. He'd buy from the corner grocer instead. Even if that nerson was no more honest, inherently, than a farm- er: he at least had business sense enough to know that selling unfit Zoods on misrepresentations wasn't seod for trade. Because our Fur arrangements were made early, with the thought of giving our patrons the benefit of the savings we are now able to offer Choice Furs at ad- vantageous prices, varying from 30to40PerCent.
