WATCHES
Our stock of watches
speaks eloquently'of good
things, and there are jt
many people whose hap,- t
py experiences contirm
the reliability and worth
of them.
Our success as watch
sellers has not been
merely fortuitous, but is
the result of the unwav-
ering integrity and knowl-
t edge gained by long
jf years of study. Every &
watch we sell is a guar- t
t anteed time keeper.
Thus you have more
reason to consider this
store as an object wor-
thy your seeking.

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
buyers than the one that is nationally associated with the state of Missouri, "Show me. " In no other way do
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.
We carry all sizes of the mower and rake.
Yours for the Mower trade,
