We know by experience the special wants of our farmers. whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the arious farmer Alliances, and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and ere appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in his and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, nd the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned pop .larity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus loiners during the busy season, and this fact can be verified )V a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cor ectness of our statement.
