IF you were going to have a pair of rubber boots made to your order you could’nt have them made any better than our Century Boot. They are made up-river-fine rubber, the best rubber that is brought to this country. The ankles are re-enforced to prevent breaking at that point and the vamps are made extra strong by forcing rubber into ducking by hydraulic presure. We have one of these boots cut intwo to show the construction. Come in and see it. Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

-ar 7£e FAVORITE i —■ —I—i 1 —i L|. i| "■ j ~ : li Being a Story of How we Were Convinced First, we were attracted by the handsome ap1 PF- Pi 1 VwW 'ri pearance of the Favorite, but we did not decide d to handle it for this reason alone, although we I decided it was the most handsome base burner l i - on the market. • C 0 ’lfc We wanted a better reason than an attractive looking stove, so we looked it over thorough! comparing it point by point with other I ■ - burners, and this is what we found. That the material from which it is made JS aJI of the highest grades —the doors, mica r ames anc j joints being absolutely air and paper We were told the Favorite p ro(, Zced the most satisfactory results with about half as much coal i W l "' as other base burners. We discovered this ’ - | e Flu“ d ~ “«• The sectional cv't herewith explains these flues - e better than can m words. The heat passes from the fire pot into tne two outsiue down flues, across the bottom of the stove, under nto the ash pan, where it enters the central flue. It then passes back over the bottom and up the central flue to the chimney. Just think of this .great radiating surface, and it is more than doubled, because the flues are SET OUT from the back of the stove. The flues therefore radiate from 'i EiiSg all sides, and the back of the stove radiates heat, also. ' wWL This feature alone places the Favorite in a class by \ itself, making it the best and most economical heating \ m ifi stove in existence. But other features of its con- \ || g# struction must not be overlooked. Would like to tell Z W-» you all about them. d B /SWX Do not put off bu y* n « your heating stove ™[i t c °ld days come. Come and ’ see us now > an d our Favorite will be your Favorite too. I Call and Lets Talk the Matter Over Il Schafer Hardware Co. jj
