A week or so later they came by express, And after she saw them she wailed in distress: “Why, I have been bunkoed, for right down the street These bargains I'm sure I could easily beat.

All my barbers are first class men with experience and can give satisfaction. W. H. P. O’Neal. Did you read the other day about a certain prominent Mail Order merchant who was fined a large round sum by Uncle Sam for defraud ing people through the mails? He advertised a so called vacuum cleaner which didn’t clean. The government, brought together at great expense a number of persons from various parts of the country, who testified to the worthlessness of the device. It cost, Uncle Sam money, but lie got it back in the fine paid by the Mail Order merchant. The worthless vacuum cleaner cost these witnesses and many oth ers money, but they didn’t get it back, and they never will. Plenty of other such concerns are working other frauds upon the public. Persons who buy a pig in a poke can expect to get bitten. It is no secret that the country is populous with people who have been bitten by the Mail Order pig. Here’s the secret of satisfaction in buying things: Trade at home, where you can see what you’re getting for your money. The Machine Everyone Buys H. M. Ashe Company, Southern Dealers Y. M. C. A.
