WACTH US GROW! Have you seen the above heading? It you have you will remember that ft was at “DEEDLE’S place as it has been his motto, and a very aiqiroprlate one, as it means nothing else but “PROGRESS," because in this stage of nfe you can’t expect to increase your business unless you are progressive, in which we think he is a Booster. If you are asked: Where would you sooner do your trading, at a place where they believe in new ways, new methods, in short, in progress; or to trade where they are contented to do business like grandfather used to do? you naturally would say: “Why. certainly, where they believe in progress. Curt; why not? Grandfather's ways were all right in his time, but not now. He didn't have buggies, automobiles, threshing machines, bind ers. hay loaders, no not even good pikes, nor telephones, and least of all. a huckster wagon. No; but later they managed to progress enough to at least get buggies and fairly good roads, and also the old fashioned huckster wagon which at that time was a great improvement, but now things have changed some more. The old grandfather of those good old times is now riding around in a nice, easyriding automobile, he is seeing his son sow and reap his crops with the most up-to-date implements and even has lived to also find an improvement in the old-fashioned huskster wagon. He no longer need be contented with having the huckster tell him: ‘lm sorry, but I'm clear out of your favorite brand of coffee (or whatever It may be). I put on quite a bit of it this morning when 1 started out, but now it's all gone.” Neither is he running chances of receiving something that had been on the wagon for a few • weeks, or a month, or more, which was i often the case. He knows that when he telephones in his wants to LAWRENCE LINNEMEIER. PREBLE, INDIANA, 'phone No. 10, the day before < he makes his route with his delivery automobile past his place, he will re- i ceive just what he orders—his favor- ’ ite brand of everything in the line of l GROCERIES, MEATS and DRY < GOODS. Also he is sure of receiving i the fresh goods right out of the box. ( That's the place to do you trading, 1 that’s where they believe in progress, i It was a big success last year and < frith a few more improved methods it will undoubtedly be a far bigger < success this year. Not only has he improved the old- 1 fashioned huckster wagon, however. < but he also is willing to share his 1 profits with his customers by allowing i a 5 per cent discount on everything ■ they buy from him for cash lor pro- i duce, which is the same to him as i cash). He is also no fanatic in the < anti-Sears-Roebuck league. He says, « they're in business the same as I am. ■ and as this is a free country they have I a right to be in business and people ’ have a right to buy from them; he 1 likes to see every one satisfied. He < says he’d sooner have people to buy elsewhere and come into his place sat- i isfied to buy from him and go. out dissatisfied. Therefore, he says he loves competition. If we had no competition no one would be satisfied. And furthermore what’s the use to “KNOCK” your fellow merchant. He may be near, or in Chicago; as every knock is a boost and he wishes to knock on himself inasmuch as he says: it’s impossible for me to satisfy everybody, nor do I clam to do so, but I intend to do my part in satisfying all I can. Thanking his old customers for past favors* and in advance both old and new customers for future favors. We would also deem it advisable for you to wait until you see him before promising your summer's trade to any one else, as he intends to see you all in the near future when he will gladly explain anything regarding his new methods. He therefore jinvites everyone to come and see his motto, “WATCH US GROW” become loyal to itself. —Advt. FORT WAYNE AND SPRINGFIELD TRACTION Leave Decatur. A. M.—6:60, 8:30, 11:30. 1-.

SKEPTICAL UNTIL SHE TOOK TANLAC Mrs. Orville Clapp Says She Was Surprised When She Began Improving Rapidly. Marlon, Ind., Mar. 2—Mrs. Orville Clapp, a well known Marion woman, said recently, after she had experienced a great improvement througn the ise of Tanlac, the Master Medicine: “I feel so much better 1 hardly can believe it is true. I was very skeptical about so-called ‘patent’ medicines >efore I began taking Tanlac and nev>r was more surprised than when I >egan improving so rapidly. “I have been in poor health for ome time with catarrh and stomach rouble and was in a generally run town condition. I breathed with ;reat difficulty, had a poor appetite, md was restless at night. “I notice a great improvement since taking Tanlac. I enjoy my food as 1 did when I was a child and I have a ravenous appetite. The.catarrah has been relieved and I now steep soundly through the night. Tanlac has made me feel like a different woman and I certainly can recommend it.” Thousands of Indiana people have been relieved by Tanlac, the Master Medicine, referred to by Mrs. Clapp. It is especially beneficial for stomach, kidney and liver troubles, nervousness, rheumatism and is a general tonic for weak, run down people: Tanlac is sold exclusively in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store. —Advt.
