Buy Early This Year
This year, American farmers have need of first class
equipment in harvesting machinery, twine -
and binder repairs
Buy none but well known, long tried machines and buy early. The early
buyer alone can be sure of securing the necessary repairs and new machines to
take care of his grain harvest.
Buy good twine, and buy it now. This is no time to be thinking about
saving a cent or two on twine, but to think of the dollars that good, twine will
save in the field. Our advice to every farmer is to buy at once the full amount
he is going to need, and not alone to buy it but get it and take it home.

The Kid Leather Par Excellent
Queen Quality manufacturers were the first to
recognize the wonderful possibilities of Shoe
Soap Leather. We benefit by their foresight
and wisdom.
For Women’s fine shoes there is
no kid leather that gives more
satisfaction. It Is sped ally tan-
ned by a process that insures a
beautiful and long-lived shoe.
These shoes, if properly cared for.
and dressed occasionally with
Shoe Soap Products, will wear
long and retain their beauty.
We heartily recommend them to
those who want high class shoes.
