T e RED FRONT improves with age until now its the
most popular trading place for the majority of Cherry Co s
shoppers The reason why tis so easy to explain We
never dissapoint if we can help it we always give our custo
mers what we advertise our prices for the same quality cf
merchandise are always lower than our neighbors We
dont only say compare prices but we do say compare
quality as well We carry nothing for our customers that
we do not use ourselves Our goods are always clean and
fresh no shelf worn or bankrupt stock and when we adver
tise a sale we always sell goods lower than the regular
price Hence tbe reason of our phenomenal success and
the household word it pays to trade at the BED FRONT

CLOTHING
Is our principal line and ordinarily we are proud of
the fact that we have the largest assortment in Cherry
county but at present we are sorry to say that we have
TOO BIG A STOCK
Especially of Winter goods owing to mild -weather and
in order to reduce it we are making discounts on heavy
goods amounting in some instances to 50 per cent

OUR BIRTHDAY
WW

This issue is our birthday issue in
the newspaper business and we wish
to thank you one and all who have
contributed to make the past a suc
cessful year for the Democrat Wc
are thankful for some things that you
have done and sorry foi some things
that we have left undone But it
has been a prosperous year for the
Democrat despite the difficulties we
have ba4 to encounter Though our
obstacles have at times loomed up as
mountains we have surmounted them
and as the shadows grew longer they
were less dense until finally they mer
ged into light and to day the Demo
crat stands on a firmer foundation
than when we began its management
During the coming year we want
each of you who are patrons to help
to make this the best year by paying
vour subscription and other accounts
promptly which we must have to con
duct the business and which we believe
you will not with hold from us We
are thankful for the liberal patron
age we have received and in turn will
show our thankfulness by using the
money you pay us for last years work
to make a better paper this year

which together has brought him a
nice income from the ice stored in
the winter and furnished the town in
the summer At times having ice
