Y t t t 3 (mi 1 To Threshermen and Those Not Threshermen Who contemplate entering into a new undertaking, we would say by all means to in vestigate threshing as a business it offers great opportunities a business that requires comparatively small capital is easily conducted and pays a handsome percentage on the investment if you buy wisely and exercise ordinary judgment in the operation of your machinery. To those who are not satisfied with the result of their past year's work who feel that they have not bought wisely we have only one word of advice buy a CASE outfit, one that can be operated year in and year out at a profit under more various conditions than any other threshing machinery on earth. Case equipment represents a lifetime spent in building threshing machines no guess or slipshod work is put on Case Machinery. "We do not experiment at the expense of our customers. No improvement is added to Case Machinery until it has been thoroughly tested and proved that it will add to life of the machine, increase its earning capacity, or make it do more perfect work.

Some mouths aito a young peasant ftlrl began to visit the residence of the baroness, offering the servants (heap articles for sa!e. Subsequently the baroness used to buy different ar ticles from the peasant, who was In telligent, had good manners and con siderable eonveipatletial talents.

Dealer Left with Memory cf Good Jcke to Compensate Him for Loss cf Ssl. A hardware dealer In town tells a story about n prim old lady who came Into his store the other day to pur chase a carpet sweeper. She gazed here and there about the store as she entered, and finally going up to the dealer she looked ut him quizzically ever her glasses and uskea: "lie- you keep carpet sweepers ? ' "Yes. madam," replied the denier, and naming the two kinds which he had In stock, asked hlch she. de sired. "Well," siild the lady, "you may show 1.1c both kinds, if you will." ".lust a moment, madam, until I get them from the rear of the store." And with that he went to an obscure cor ner and lonk ilowu the carpet-sweepers from their books upon the wall. It hnppo! eil that in I'en; ef one of the 111: lies which he desired there was a lawn mower so hum: tj;:t ho had to move it. lie teok it down fumi the hook and as he did so it rolled along the floor with a grinding rattle. Hefore he had time to turn around he heard the old lady shout from the front of the store: "That makes more noise than my old one, and I don't care to look nt it," and so saying, she whisked out to the door, leaving the dealer to wonder whether the Joke was worth the loss of the sule.
