THE SPIDER AND THE FLY.
I '
| Doubtless many if not all who
Iread this advertisement have
heard or read of the awful fate
that befell the poor little fly that
was allured to its death by the
assumed friendliness of the wick
ed and blood-thirsty spider.
There are spiders of many
kinds, but they are not of the
same species, nor do they all be
long to the same family. There is
the human or two-legged spider
that reminds one of the real
thing by the methods they adopt
to catch the unwary and unsus
pecting, and, woe to the poor fel
low that allows himself to fall into
their trap. He may be a little
more fortunate than the fly and
escape with his life, but he will
have little of the long green left,
and but little to show for it. We
use no clap-trap methods to catch
business, but do business strictly
on business h rinciples. We have
no pets in business, treat all alike,
ona price to all and your money
back when you are not satisfied.
We make our money in the
buying, not in the selling, and
guarantee to save you something
on every purchase.
Tons and tons of new desirable
Merchandise to arrive this week
at the rockiest of rock bottom
i prices.
