Recently there has located in

the wants and requirements of

building was formerly occupied
by the Hill Furniture Co. The
number is 1HM21 Fast First

Nichols Brothers have decided
that the g >ods sold from their
big store shall be at u small
profit, preferring to give their
customers the profits that
would have gone to the landlord
in the high rent district.
This big farmers store carries
a complete line of hardware,
harness, stoves of nil kinds,
door and window screens, fern

small tools and implements usey
