This work too has helped to keep the

are on the next.

WITH OUR ADVERTISERS
WHAT THEY ARE ADVERTISING
AND SELLING.
Gratifying Results From Graefe’s Big
Rexall Sale—Fall and Winter
Now the Main Offerings.
At it hs been some time since The
Northwestern contained a story of its
. advertisers, space is taken this week
| for a short article dealing with those
who use the advertising columns of
I this paper.
Before we commence the article,
I however, we wish to make mention of
i the big sale at the Rexall gtore last
| week. ilr. G’-aefe used a page ad in
i The Northwestern, advertising his
"one-cent” sale, which proved to be
' the big event of the season. Long be
fore closing time Saturday nearly ev
;ery advertised article was sold out.
jHere was a good example of the ad
vertising value of The Northwestern.
In this week^ Northwestern James
Bartunek is advertising his new line
of fur coats, robes and blankets, of
which he has a complete stock. Mr.
Bartunek added a complete line of
Wyeth hardware recently and his line
of harness and leather goods is com
plete. He has an excellent reputation
as a harnessmaker and repair man.
E. P. Daily advertises, this week,
the Sellers Kitcheneed cabinet. The
J Sellers cabinet represents thoroughly
and in every detail every requirement
| that could be made of a kitchen c-abi
jnet. In connection with these cabi
Jnets ,he is offering a twenty-six piece
| set of the well known Oneida Com
munity silverware in a handsome eabi
j net, and by buying the two articles at
lone time you can save on both the
: sum of $7.55. The Daily guarantee
j stands back of these goods the same
1 as on everything else he sells, and if
I everything is not just as represented
and does not give service and satis
: faction, take them back and get your
money.
| The Hansen Lumber company is
| known as “The Yard With the Red
Card,” and their ad is timely and to
the point this week. Fence, posts,
coal and corn cribs is the gist of their
weekly ad talk and the unprecedented
price of $3.75 for a 400-bushel steel
corn crib is one of the convicing
points contained in their ad space.
A new store, which commenced busi
ness in Loup City on Saturday, Oc
tober 23. in the old Fremont Brewing
company’s building, is Pizer & Co.
They have a large store in Hastings
and promise to make their store here
ong of the best in this section of the
country. Their line is women’s wear
ing apparel exclusively. Miss Ruth
Levi is in charge of the new store,
assisted by Miss Hattie Froehlich.
Read their ad on the last page of The
Northwestern.
That it is poor policy to buy cheap
shoes and more costly in the long run.
is conceded by everyone. Gus Lor
entz is advertising the well known
and popular Ralston shoes, ranging in
price from $4.00 to $6.00. The Ralston
shoe is now, as it has ever been, the
very best value that money can pro
duce.
The Hub Clothing Store, Victor
Viener, proprietor, has an attractive
ad on the first page of this week's
Northwestern, giving their idea of
young men's style. Read this ad; it
is interesting throughout.
Wm. Lewadowski, proprietor of the
Loup City Cash Store, advertised
cloaks, in an ad of few words, but to
the point. It will pay you to give this
store a visit.
The Maxwell Auto company ads, ad
vertising the Maxwell car, known as
the “Wonder Car,” are beauties from a
typographical standpoint and contain
many solid facts as to the worth of
their splendid car, for which Alva O.
Lewis is the local agent.
R. L. Arthur is another leading mer
chant of Loup City who knows the
value of The Northwestern as an ad
I
! vertising medium. This week he is
i falling attention to his new fall line
of blankets, underwear, bath robes,
etc., and to his splendid line of gro
ceries.
The two banks and the First Trust
company are believers in modern ad
vertising and their ads are instructive
| as well as advantageous to those who
j will take the time to peruse them.
The Pioneer Meat Market, O. L.
Toekey, proprietor, is building up a
splendid business. Read their ad from
week to week and give this enterpris
ing firm your patronage.
The Keystone Lumber company is
advertising California redwood tanks,
a oar being received a short time ago.
Better buy one now. as they are going
fast.
IT. M. Eisner, the jeweler, has a nifty
little ad in each issue of The . North
western. Several more advertisers
will be mentioned in future issues and
we will make this weekly ad talk a
I permament feature. But, before we
! close, mention must be made of the
i advertisers at the enterprising little
, town of Rockville, Kozel & Sorensen,
Rockville Cash Store. Rockville Meat
Market, Rockville Pool Hall, Jacob
Ritz, W. R. Henkens, A. A. Gray, the
auctioneer, and Henry Bushhousen,
the blacksmith.

X -.
YOUNG FARMER THROWN FROM HORSE HE WAS
RETURNING TO A NEIGHBOR.
I _
Attempts To Ride Horse Home With Halter For a Bridle and'
Animal Runs Away Throwing Him While Going
Around Sharp Turn—Will Probably Recover.
\\ ill Hawk met with a very serious
;and painful aecident last Monday even
ing in which he sustained injuries
about the head which will no doubt
take him some weeks, perhaps
months, to recover from. He was
thrown from a horse witn the awful
result that the scalp was peeled back
from one-half of the head and laid
| hanging on his shoulder, a severe
jgash cut above the right eye and the
, eyeball almost dislocated, and in ad
dition, was otherwise bruised about
the back and shoulders.
It seems that he had borrowed a
saddle horse from his neighbor. Otto
Henning, and had, during the day. as
sisted in driving a bunch of cattle
from the pasture to the' feed yard,
and when he was returning the pony
about 6 o’clock in the evening, the
animal threw him off with the above
result.
The Henning farm house was only
about a quarter of a mile from Mr.
Haw’k’s residence. He jumped onto
the horse with only a halter to guide
him and the spirited animal set out
on the run. Had the road been
straight, he might have been able to
have stopped the horse without acci
dent, but in turning a sharp corner
iie was thrown violently to the ground
with the above result. When thrown
he wTas near the Henning home and
there is a row of trees by the road
side. It is not known whether his
head struck a tree or not, but pre
sumably not, as the scalp wound was
full of dirt, which it took some time
to remove. Drs. Bowman & Bow’mau
were called and at once hurried to
the scene. The wound wras cleansed
and dressed in the best possible way.
it being necessary to take between
twenty-five and thirty stitches to close
it. The patient has, up to this writ
ing, been conscious all the time which
is an indication that no concussion
of the brain has resulted from the
awful accident, but it will still take
a few days yet to ascertain if there
are internal injuries.
Mr. Hawk is a son of Mrs. J. E.
Hawk, a sister of Mrs. C. F. Beush
ausen, and a brother-in-law of Mrs.
1 A. M. Bennett and W. T. and A. E.
[Chase, all of this city. He is a life
: long resident of Sherman county and
I has scores of friends who will be
pained to learn of his misfortune.

Checks Have An
After Value
When you see a man with a checking account “hand over"
checks in payment, do not conclude that the whole service
of a checking account has been performed.
Not at all. Checks have after value. The bank “hands
back” every check to the man who writes them. The checks
return cancelled and have an after value because they are
legal receipts and sure records of past payments.
