Hicks
the
by
that his paper and Almanac have come
to stay His splendid journal Word
and Works is now entering its tenth
year largely increased in circulation
and in every way improved until it
deserves the national reputation it has
attained His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued It con
tains 108 pages including cover artist
ically printed in colors and is filled
from back to back with just what is
wanted in every shop office and home
in America One feature of the
Almanac for 1897 is a series of 12
original beautifully engraved star
maps with explanatory chapters
Which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on astron
omy As Mr Hicks has correctly and
faithfully warned the public of coming
droughts floods cold waves blizzards
tornadoes and cyclones in the years
passed aside from the other varied
and splendid features of his paper and
Almanac these considerations alone
should prompt every family to sub
scribe at once for 1897 The Almanac
is only 25cts a copy Word and
Works is one dollar a year and a copy
of the fine Almanac goes as a premium
with every yearly subscription Write

IIoxv th e Dipper Sa ved the Farm
Father was sick and the mortgage on the farm
was coming due I saw in the Christian Advo
cate where Miss A M Frita of Station A St
Louis Mo would send a sample combination
dipper for 18 two cent stamps und I ordered one
I saw that the dipser could be used as a frwit jar
filler a plain dipper a tine strainer a funnel i
strainer funnel a sickroom warming pan and a
pint measure These eight different uses makes
the dipper such a necessary article that I went
to work with it and it sells at very near every
house -and in four months I paid off the mort
gage 1 think I can clear as much as S200 per
month If you need work you can do well by

I have been doing sowed this summer celling
combination dippers that I think it my duty to
tell others about it I have not made as much
money as some I read about but I never make
less than S3 and often 5 a day The dipper can
be used as a fruit jar filler a plain dipper a flue
strainer a funnel a strainer tunnel a sick room
wanning pan and a pint meusure These eight
different uses makes the dipper such a necessary
articte that it sells at nearly every house it is so
cheap You can get a sample by sendinc as I
did 18 two cent stamps to pav postage etc to W

they will mail you a dipper and you can go right
