THE SPIDER AND THE FLY Doubtless many if not all who read 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 principles. 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.
