While probaby only a small percentage of prospective purchasers of mowing- machines are born in the
state of Missouri, there seems to be no remark that applies more perfectly to the condition of mind of mower

the majority of us get so good an idea of an article or proposition as by seeing. Prospective mower buyers
come in and see the old reliable Standard Mower. It was the best mower fifty years ago and it is the best today.

Tho Tribuno docs not nrcsumo to tell

what course it should pursuo locally,
but it respectfully Buggosts that tho

with tho rondbed, the train sorvico, the
motivo power or tho earning canacitv
of tho "Overland Route". Tho sales
of tickets at tho local depot aggrcgato
thousands of dollars monthly and that
means that tho depot is tho temporary
waiting place of hundreds of passen
gors. 'Ihatthcso waiting patrons of
tho Union Pacific havo an uncomfort
nble placo to pass the necessary timo ia
unquestioned; tho fact Is, the gon
cral condition of tho ono room is
such as to prove disagreeable to any
lndy, not only bacauso sho ia thrown In
