When you go to MeKissack & Co.’s
you forget to carry your pocket
books. He will not sell you goods at
cost and charge them.
KEEP AT IT.
If you expect, to conquer,
In the battle of to-day,
You will have to blow your trumpet
In a fiiu and steady nay.
If you toot your little whistle
And lay aside the born,
There’s not a soul will ever know
That such a man was born.
The man that owns Iris acres
Is the man that, plows all day;
Ami tho man that keeps a humping
Is the man that’s here to stay.
But the man that advertises
With a sort of sudden jerk
Is the man that, blames the printer
Because it didn’t work.
But the man that gets the business
Uses brainy printers’ ink,
Not a clatter and a sputter,
But an ad. that makes you think.
And be plans his advertisements,
And he plans his well-bought stock,
And the future of his business
Is as solid as a rock.
Many of you have been waiting until
after the administrators sale to get
you some nice underwear and a suit
clothes. Now you have the chance
to get them. MeKissack <fc Co. will
give you the cost mark and you can do
your own selecting. Suits from $2 up
to $10. Every body can be suited.
They will give you 25 per cent, off on
the overcoats. They want to close
out to make room for their spring
goods.
