LOOK OUT FOR THE PEDDLER
And Remember What He Tells You.
He may say that he will give you three
or five years to pay for a range. If he
does , don't you believe him ; he wont do
it.
He may say that the paper you sign is
only a receipt to show where the range
is. Don't believe him. It is a note , and
if you sign it you must pay it.
He may tell you that his company only
wants 6 per cent interest , and that they
will extend the time as long as is wanted.
If he does , don't believe him. Thous
ands have been told the same story , and
their notes had to be paid when due , era
a law suit.
He may say that he will board out $10
or $20 with you. If he does , don't be
lieve him. It is seldom , if ever , done.
He may promise to take your old stove
in part payment , and that another man
will come for it. If he does , don't be
lieve him. It is never done.
He may say that his reservoir is better
than the MAJESTIC'S , which is not true ,
for the reason that it is connected In
pipe and a large lock nut , which when
once rusted , cannot be removed withoul
cutting it out. It steams and it pounds ,
drips water on the floor , is uncomforta
ble in the kitchen , and rusts the water
unfitting it for use. The MAJESTIC mov
able reservoir don't fill with litwe or
mud , don't freeze or burst , don't rust
the water , makes no noise , don't drip on
the floor , and will last forever.
He may say that his range is made oi
malleable iron , and the MAJESTIC ol
cast iron. If be does , tell him it is not
true t ; that it has more malleable parts
than his range , and such parts are heav
ier and better.
He may say that his range lias a heav
ier fire box If he does , don't believe
him. The fire box in the MAJESTIC is
double the weight of that in his range
He may say that the steel parts in his
range are heavier than in the MAJESTIC
If he does , say to him that 3011 know
better , and that you have it from author
ity better than he gives.
He may say that his range is better
than the MAJESTIC. If he does , don't
believe him. It is not true. The MA
JESTIC is heavier and better constructed ,
is made of better material , lasts longer ,
is mort- easily managed and consumes
one-half less fuel He -
- maj-plead as a
saint , but he wont tell jou who follows
for the money , and that it must be paid
when the collector comes.
He may say that his company owns a -
mortgage on competitors. If he does ,
don't believe him. The only mortgages
possibly owned are the ones on their
customers.
He mav say that repairs for the MAJESTIC -
JESTIC RAXGKS cannot be had from
dealers who sell them. IF he does , it is
false , as the dealer can be found at all
times , and is responsible to you. Ask
Mr. Peddler where he can be found after
he leaves you.
He may tell you that , if his range is
not satisfactory after thirty days' use ,
the inspector will come and get it , giv
ing back your note. If he does , don't
belieye him. The inspector don't come ;
it is the collector , and , if you are re
sponsible , he never leaves without the
money , a mortgage , or a law suit.
He may say that his range is riveted
and the MAJESTIC is bolted. If he does ,
he is a negotiator of falsehood. In the
construction of the MAJESTIC it is sol
idly riveted , the only bolts used being
He may say that he will take corn ,
wheat or stock at a high price for the
range. If he does see that it is so stated
on the face of the note , the time to be
delivered , at what place , and that the
terms are written with pen and ink
plainly. If this is not done , don't sign
his note. If you do , you will pay it in
cash , as his verbal agreement is of no
value in such matters.
He may say that his company is very
wealthy. If he does , you might ask him
if this money was made on the plan as
now carried on wherever possible , re
gardless of the dealers and without pay
ing taxes.

lives a happy wife. She writes : " I
have used Mother's Friend before
two confinements. The last time I had
twins , and was in labor only a few min
utes. Suffered very little. " The reason
why
does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment ,
to be applied upon the outside , where
much of the strain comes. It helps be
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it , and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished ,
and nervousness is kept'completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced , even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
of all , Mother's Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother , and when the little one comes it
will be strong , lusty and healthy.
Druggists sell Mother's Friend for $1 a bottle.
