We have redeemed the Lightning
Rod business from the odium cast
upon it in the past by unscrupulous
men and agents going through the
country. We sell only to local dealers
and through them you are able to get
our Pure Soft Copper Cable Lightning
Rod for less money than you could
from agents.
The result now is that some men
who we do not care to have represent
us may buy some inferior initiation of
our goods and claim to sell it cheaper,
We furnish each of our dealers
Agent's Certificates which authorizes
them to give you our written guaran
tee on all work done by them. Also
each spool of our cable has our Trade
Mark (W. C. S. ) burned on end of
spool.
This is for your protection. You
should require them to show you this
Certificate and if they cannot they are
not our dealer and you may regret it
if you do noi get Sbinn's Copper Cable
Lightning Rod.
August Gorder and L. B. Under
wood are our Uuthorized Dealers at
Plattsmouth and Murray, respectively,
and you cannot get our Cable and
Guarantee of anyone else. Therefore
be careful of the imitators.
