IIThey All Look Alike To Me. "
To be Bure. You are not a watch
maker. How shoul : } 'O\l know
the difference ? That is just why
you hould buy that watch of a
substantial , located , home jeweler ,
a place where you know of whom
you are buying , and have the
assurance of a bU9iness reputation
and guarantee that goes with every
sale. The best advertising r have
done during the years r have becn
in hcre , dcvelops in the watches r
have sold from month to month
It is my idea of store.kecping t
make people satisficd ; they cOllie
again , and send Mhers , r think
it pays.

AU New Papers
No Left-Overs
Last year we had a cJeal1-
up sale of wall papers. It
certainly was a clean-up and
clean-out ; We didn't have
enoug-h papers left to stuff a
barrd with after that sale
was over. Consequently
our wall paper stock this
year is all new.
It is a splendid example
of the finest 1907 creations.
We invite everyone thinking -
ing of wall papers , to come
and look the whole ntock
over. Do not think about
buying unless you want to.
We want you to see this
stock so that when your
friends talk about wal.1 pnp-
ers you will be posted as to
how the new patterns run.
Open on Sundays froUl
8:30 : to 10:30 : a. m. only.

ONLY ONE Of THE LITCHFIELD
Did it evcr , occur to yon that if one levcr wOl\lel 110 thc work of
six , how entirely uscless thu extra lIvc levers are ? If one lever will do
the work. why should you hl1ve thu , the wear ntHI gcneral annoy-
auces and complications that go hntlt in hl\lld with thc extra thrce to
five 1evers found on othcr Manure Spreadcrs.
If simplicity is an ar umcnt for durahility and absence of rcpair
trouble , we can show you the grcatest sprcader argumcnt yet out. One
lcver starts lhe beater wheel. raises the tail.gatc , starts the conveyor and
then regulatcs the thickness of the distribution , all with one simple
direct molion. Can't get wrong , Rimply impossible.
A cow ncc s six lcgs just as much IU a Manure Spreadcr needs
Inore than one lcver. If you will just eXUluinc this machine and see
how it hl\s hccn silllplifiell , how many complications arc done away with ,
how easy it is to hanelle atHl operate without a whole book of instructions ,
you will then appreciatc w lat we arc talking about.
This is n lIIachinc you can put in the hUllds of the careless hiretl
tUan , or any hey that can Ilrivc a tcalll , and if he knows where to drive
ntlll when to pull the lever up and when to push it down again , this is
all he's got to do. The muchine docs the rcst. Ncver gets out of order
undcr fill ) ' kind of ordinary conditions ; just Bimply docs business all
BAISCH.'W
You know what this mcans if ) 'OU are acquainted with otIter
Sprcaders. Come nnd see us anll look the I11l1chmc over. If we have
I said ahything that is not so , we want to hear ilhout it. It is our intention - I
tention to tell the facts just as we know tItCIII and when you Rce the
I.itchfielcl Sprcadcr we think you will agree lhat we have talkcd husiness.
I Next wcek we ha\'e got ROlllelhing to tell you ahout sleel wheels ,
not chc p ones , but the kind they put undcr 'fraction Engines. I
