New Store
New System of Selling Goods
The object of this ad. is to tell you of our new system of selling
goods, that means an opportunity to save money for every man,
woman and child in Logan county.
On the second floor of our store we will operate what is called
a "self serve" store. On that floor will be displayed wearing ap-
parel for the entire family, and the customers will wait on them-
selves. Everything will be displayed on tables and counters,
marked in plain figures, with the description, size, etc., 011 the
ticket, so it will be easy to select what you want. You then take
your purchase to the cashier, who will wrap your package and
make change for you.
So much for the place. Now for the benefits to be derived
from this new method of selling goods. This is a day of conser-
vation; to save and conserve is the patriotic duty of every loyal
American citizen. By eliminating the expense of salespeople to
wait on you, we can easily sell you goods at a saving of 20 per
cent on every purchase. Besides, if you wait on yourself, you will
not be influenced to buy something you do not like, and we think
can suit yourself better.
These stores are becoming very popular, and are proving a
huge success. Every article on the floor will be a real bargain.
We invite you to come to our opening, Saturday, May 11th. Re-
member the time and the place, second floor of our store.

There's A Size Avery Tractor For Every Size Farm
These six sizes of Avery Kerosene Tractors make Tractor
Farming a success on any size farm—large, medium or small.
Avery Tractors are built in sizes for pulling any number from one
to ten plows. You can get an Avery Tractor in the size that ex-
actly fits your size farm.
With any of these Avery Kerosene Tractors you can make
tractor farming a success. You can raise bigger and better crops
and do the work cheaper, easier and at the right time. With the
added profits you and your family can enjoy life more.
Let An Avery Kerosene Traclor Start Waking More Money For You
Right now is the time you should buy an Avery Kerosene
Tractor and let it start making money for you.
No other tractors have met such tests as have the Avery's.
They have been entered in every important public contest and
demonstration. They are equipped with Duplex (Jasifiers, a de-
vice which turns kerosene into gas and makes them the only trac-
tors that burn ALL the kerosene.
They have been proven to be successful money-makers by
thousands of owners. The Avery Catalog contains facts you ought
to know about Tractor Farming. Ask for a copy.
