Possibly a thousand homes in

there there has been but little use
for one, but now we are going to
have tome real cold weather and
you can yet save the price of a
first-class heater by buying one
right now, while we are unloading
our stock, which it .y*ry largo, at
just what , the factory would
charge you for building a atove.
And another thing which every
great- man would do; and that is
to buy now for next winter. A
millionaire wonld buy every time
if he could have 20 per cent, for
that is exactly the way that many
peopie go from-clerks to million-
