Hoosier Kitchen Cabinets
The only nationally advertised Kitchen Cabinet
The greatest compliment ever paid the Hoosier is the fact that all other
makers of kitchen cabinets are trying to imitate it It is a marvelous labor
aartr, a time saver and a money saver. Everything needed in an ordinary
day's baking can be kept in the Hoosier, and all unnecessary steps are elimi
nated. Ask your neighbor she has one and come in and see just Why.
Brenlin Window Shades
This new shade material will certainly fill a long felt want in window
shades. It won't crack, won't wrinkle.
It Keeps oat the light. Ask ns about it.
Sanitaire Iron Beds
These beds are the only nationally advertised line made. Positively

Prices from $2.50 to $20.00.
Mot the " Just as Good Kind"
Our store is the store where you can buy the well known
articles the ones you see advertised in the leading maga
zines. 1
These are the real articles don't take substitutes an
imitation is never equal to the genuine article. The manu
facturer of an advertised article has a reputation to sustain
he must "deliver the goods" or he would have wasted the
money spent in advertising. -
Besides, the advertised article is cheaper, quality consid
ered, than the substitute. ' The maker of the advertised
goods sells in such large quantities that it costs less per article
to make and less to sell.
We handle the following well known advertised lines: .
Macey Sectional Bookcases
Here is a bookcase that fills all the requirements of a library case for
the home and office. It combines utility, service and beauty, as no other
bookcase does. The only bookcase with absolutely a non-binding door. ,
Made in all finishes and all sizes. If you need a bookcase and don't want
to buy a large one, begin with one or two sections of a Macey and add to it
as you feel able. No other "just as good."
Stearns & Foster Mattresses
This is the only mattress that is marketed today which yon can buy
strictly on your own judgment. You needn't take our word. It has a laced
end and you can see exactly what you buy.
Prices, $8.00 to $15.00.
McCray Refrigerators
The refrigerator season will soon be here. A perfect refrigerator will
save you more than its cost in one season. ' -
Why experiment? A McCray is a perfect refrigerator. It keeps butter,
milk and vegetables in perfect condition without tainting.
Let us show you a McCray.
Why take a chance in buying imitations? They never claim the "just as good" kind is better. When you buy
the real thing you know it cannot be inferior. It is better or it would not be so well known. We carry the real
article; we let others deal in the "just as good" kind. Come and see for yourself.

The Omaha Western Laborer has
this to say of Jere Sullivan, and The
Yv'Egeworker wants to endorse every
void of it:
Jere Sulliv.n, secretary of tho
Waiters and Bartenders' Vnion and
editor of the Mixer and Server, is a
bright spot. His sunny, cheerful, crisp
ai:d witty paragraphs and heart-to-iuart
talks to the members excel the
v riting of any official organ editor in
the movement bar none. He says
something in every paragraph and
every line. The Mixer and Server is
always a relish and a relief from
the "heavy" dope that gorges tlie
other organs. He is gifted with a
pen that roasts, but does not offend.
