tOXY GRANDPA > HE DOES THE HANDSOME THING BY THE NEWLYWEDS B| ie v Come to Decatur and Fit Themselves Out for Housekeeping. Grandpa Gives Them the Benefit of His Experience and Foots the Bills.

Sunimifl’s Polly 1-er-dnrc I Ih<- speaker took a header over only to hear a sweet: H*'y e .s Charley." ■•■ Can I aspire to-er to-that is—". 9\i'!in a lapse into silence follow- ■ by an encouraging: ■••Yt-s Charley.” ■ "Oh. if 1 arht ~n' y ,l °l >e toer-to—” ■ Another failure of language. It was ■emlngly a hopeless case and it ■IkIiI have been only for a demure: ■ "Charley I have said yes twice it ■hi meat! it. 1 mean it too and -" ■ And to this day that young man ■hints that ho popped the question. Kll this happened away back in Ver■ont. H wasn't long before there ■ ~< wedding. Not much longer belt 0 there cam 0 a letter from Polly's ■ oxy Grandpa, old Grandpa Twruer. ■ I1( . a resident of Adams county who ■ rote of his delight at her ■xhihitiou of what he called grit and ■reposed if the young couple would ■.uh- at Decatur, a dandy place io* ■ivr with good merchantile institutions ■nd excellent school facilities, he ■ mild start them in life as a wedding ■lft. Os course they accepted and ■ere soon bidding their friends adieu. ■ few weeks subsequent to the above K travelstaiued party arrived in Delatin'. Our friend. Foxy Grandpa. took charge and >;d them straight away to the Murray Hotel. The home of good things to eat. entirely renovated. "After breakfast.” remarked Foxy Grandpa, "we will go out and buy your outfit and as 1 promised you an auto as one of your first presents, upon your arrival here, we will call at once on Porter & Beavers with whom 1 have arranged for a handsome 1923 model Buick Sedan. I don't want to go into any high soundir phrases as applied to motor cars th.y are all to common and their force, is lost. They convey no thought ether than the importance of the iuser. But the comliness of design, the solidity of structure, the economy of upkeep and operation, the ease and coinfort in driving and lastly the intimate integrity of the whole as exi iiipllfied in this swell Buick before | '; ou settled it with me and you ought j to he pleased. "We are,” said both, | l i chorus. "We will be proud of our I i-ir and come to Porter & Beavers for ; 1 our accessories, V. S. Tires and Buick service. You will like the treatment you receive at Porter &' I'-avers always.” "The basis of a home.” said Foxy Grandpa, as they entered the auto, "is a hut of mother earth, therefor a v isit to Erwin Real Estate Agency "is a bit of mother earth, therefor a l-.-rty that is very desirable and al-1 I ways has excellent bargains on hand. ' 1: is worth your while to know him for if you ever want to buy, rent, i f 11 or exchange. If you wish to beerme a real estate owner, he will sell you a vacant lot on weekly or j t'oathly payments, with a small cash I nyment, anywhere, but especially in t'is section, he is the man to call on’ ; what he tells you can be set down ■ : facts." The visit resulted in ini eating Charles in some very de-. ible city property on which to build ■ : ud an engagement for a drive into t! country to view some farm | I operty in which he offers some, retable bargains. fie will regol ate a farm loan for you on long! lime and at a conservative rate ofj i t rest, also does notary work, conveyancing, etc. You will get a > quote deal at Erwin Real Estate "my everytime. He is looking for •' purchaser now for a dandy five room house on payments like rent. "The next thing to look after," said Criyidpa, “is the lumber necessary it) building the new house on the lots on bought so come with me and I I introduce you to O. L. Kirsch, of 1< i.sch-Rep'pert Company, who are in that line here. They carry •he most complete line of builders i derial in the country, everything m the sills to the foundation to *1 1 red cedar shingles for the roof, i luding lime, brick, cement, plast--1 sash, doors, Cornell and Beaver ' rd, Barrett Asphalt shingles, all I inds of interior decorations and mill "■ irk and also furnish plans and estir ates free. Now is the time to build •' you can buy building material at !' ’’sent at about one-half of what it ' uuld cost a few years back. There s n difference in lumber, as well as in > erything else, also In the way it is hmsed. You will find the better rades always at Kirscb-Reppert Co., ways properly housed. Figure with them and they will figure right with . <>u.” "'fhe necesary material being pur- ' iased," said Foxy Grandpa, "we must now look up a reliable contrac-

ting firm to draw the plans and build the home and my friends Chas. N. ( hristen ft Co., are the men to figure with. Honest workmanship and material are essential in building. You will find them using both and employing first class workmen who know their business and exercise it. They do contracting in all its branches including Interior work shelving, etc, and will give you n turnkey Job. As samples of their handiwork. I want you to give the 'once over' to Mrs. Christena Niblick's residence on Jackson and 2nd. the Presbyterian church and the Schafer Hardware Co., building. When they take a contract they push it through to completon without delay. You will be more than pleased with your new home when turned over to you from their hands.” "While the house is in course of construction," continued Foxy Grandpa, "there will be tinning, roofing, guttering, cornice bracket, skylight work, etc. to be done and A. R. Ashbaucher is the man in tin and sheet nietal. You will want a galvanized iron tank, well casing, tithing. lightning rods slate roofing and other tin work and he can supply you with the proper articles at proper prices. He installs the Majestic Warm Air furnace heat and does everything in repair. After taking it everywhere else, take it to Ashbauch er's Tin Shop, if they can't fix it, you might just as well sell it for Junk.” “As I am a firm believer in the economy and safety of electricity in preference to all of its so-called equals," said Grandpa, “we will now call at the Schafer Hardware Co. and make arrangements for thoroughly wiring the house for this commodity. Electricity is the light.” said he. “it is artistic, cleanly, a labor saver and best of all costs no more than ordinary light and is always ready. Your Grandma has used it in the old home for years and she would be lost, she says, without it. Get into the efficiency class, do everything electrically. thereby making household work I a pleasure, thryi get all of your elecjtrici.l appliances and equipment at I Schafer Hardware Co. They carry | the American Beauty, Hot Point and I Universal goods in percolators, irons, ■ Toasters, toaster stoves, family irons mangles, grills, curling irons, nursing bottles. Desk, wall, ceiling, floor and National Mazda lamps. All kinds of electrical fixtures. The Wester . Electric and A. B. C. washing machines, Hoover electrical sweeper. Ever Ready flashlights and electrical equipment and hardware of every description. The beauts part about i trading at Schafer Hardware Company is prices are always a little (less than you expect to pay." "It is said there tie five autos to jone bath tub in Indian i,” said Grand- | pa. “and as we want to help change I'.iat ratio, we will nlerview August | Walters and make arrangements for a modern bathroom and shower, with ' all appurtenances. Kohler fixtures |and strictly sanitary plumbing. Any- ' body can figure on a plumbing Job I but it takes a mechanic who knows | his business to install as you want it i done and you must be satisfied with (all goods and workmanship or i August is not. He does all kinds of heating, steam, hot water, vapor and | vacuum heatirtg and carries all kinds l of plumbing fixtures, bathroom supplies. etc. .He also does everything in repair. Have your plumbing and heating done the Walters way and keep the doctor away.” “Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating con tests of this competative age.” said Grandpa, “and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of the well informed. The knowledge of forms, functions and component parts of concrete possessed by the operators lit Acker Cement Works enables them to turn out cement products that have stability and lasting qualities and are satisfying a host of pleased customers. There is no job too large for them to handle nor too small tor their attention. They will start in with laying your walks, curbings, lintels, etc. make the ideal blocks for foundations, garages, or any building complete. Then comes your porch columns, any design, porch balustrading porch coping, lawn vases, bird baths, garden furniture ol every description and they have some unique designs in this line. Their work is all the better grade, proper proportions and they will gladly figure with You at any time. So when cement or cement products are the theme see Acker Cement Works every time.” "Say it with flowers,” said Grandpa, to Charley. "You don't have to

I tell tne that," said ho. “I said It that i way and It worked with Polly," "Tea, ■bm it would have boon so much I quicker if you'd have said it with | Mbsos Greenhouse Co’s. Howers. Ed 8. manager here, has been in the floral business for years, knows the business thoroughly and no matter what kind of a design or decoration you may want for nny occasion, wedding, party, birthday, ball or funeral it will be carried out and sent anywhere promptly as you will find them affiliated with 'F. T. D.' Florists Telegraph Delivery which insures promptness always* Their roses, curnaHons, chrysanthemums and all other cut flowers and plants In season are the choicest and the assembling the best. A beautiful boquet, changed often in the home, gives it that homey, comfy feeling and 'tends to keep hubby nt home—try it. They fill any order in this line promptly. They carry all kinds of greenhouse supplies and their fancy lettuce and cucumbers are a household word with the housewife. You will like the flowers and the treatment you revive at Moses Greenhouse company." "The home being complete." said Foxy Grandpa, "we must now look to the furnishings for It. Hereupon Polly declared she heard so much of the swell furniture and house fur nishlngs at E. A. Beavers that she desired to go there. The result was they were ush. red into such a line display that the girl was puzzled at first how to select hut she soon yielded to the seductiveness of a magnificent parlor suite, a bed room suite in American walnut and a dining room set to match of Queen Anne. To these she added brass, iron and duofolds for the extra rooms, pictures and wall ornaments, rugs, linoleums, mattings, and art squares. She purchased a swell buffet, fancy rockers. Hoosier kitchen cabinet, not forgetting a combination writing desk for hubby, coming to the conclusion that prices at E. A. Beavers were below the very whisper of competition—and that meant any kind of competition.” "A pretty good start." said he, “and now we will visit Lee Hardware companies big hardware and stove store, where Polly’s housewifely instincts will have full sway in the marvels of kitchen aparatus. There’s not a more comprehensive stock of cooking machinery in this section,” said ho, “every possible piece of kitchen furniture from a tin dipper to a cooking range is here in all styles and variety. Polly was not long in selecting a Round Oak range and heater and a Detroit Vapor for quick action. She purchased a complete supply of graniteware, enamelware, tinware, aluminum ware, and cutlery insisting on Charles working up an appetite on a Thor washing machine. Daisy churn and DeLaval Cream separator which she purchased. Grandpa added that this was the home of John Deere implements. International tractors, Goodyear tires, New Home sewing machines, Torring electric sweeper, guns, ammunition .and sporting goods and about anything else the farmer or home owner wanted. All hardware built to stand hardwear properly priced at Lee Hardware company." "You cannot live on love alone in that big house," said Grandpk, so at the grocery he waxed philosophical. "Never neglect your larder," said he, “that important adjunct of housekeeping controls masculine temper to that and you must patronize a grocery firm on whom you can depend for honest goods. For sometime 1 have found Fisher ft Harris perfectly reliable. You are sure to find careful dealers always fuy stocked with everything in staple and fancy groceries, fresh and first class, including such well-known articles as Chase & Sanborns famous teas and coffees. Beechnut pickles, catsup and relishes, Gooch's flour, all that's best in canned goods and fresh fruits and 1 vegetables. You will find this the up-to-the-minute grocery, regular delivery, phone 5-4 S and 231. They arc Johnny on the spot, and prices down to brass lacks." "Next is your bakery goods,” said Grandpa, “and 1 want you to take your Grandma's advice and buy good fresh home bakery products. When it comes to buying all your ingredients then wasting valuable time over the breadboard and hot oven you are wasting time that could be given to other good uses and you are wasting money too besides in most 1 cases getting an inferior article, as it stands to reason that bakers who 1 have devoted a life time to the busd--1 ness can bake better bread than a novice and better bread is the kind you gel in Blue Ribbon and Golden Cream bread at Miller’s Bakery. They make it fresh and first class daily, also whole wheat, Purina , whole wheat and rye bread. Their , pies, cakes, buns, pastry, etc. are top ' notchers. They fill any special ord- ■ ers promptly. Cleanliness with the i use of purest ingredients are bywords here so call for Miller Bakery products every time." “tfo* for your meat,” said Grandpa, "it goes hand in hand with bread i so we must locate a good market where you can get fresh, pure and wholesome meat, home rendered lard sausage, etc., and my friend. C. J. I

(Ireeti !<t the irmn to supply J-nn. The reason for this Is because he buys the »ost of ecerythinß and keeps things frosh in cold storage. You v 111 find packing house products here such as hums, bacon and delicatessen and lie will always treat you right. To keep your hubby in good humor Polly get your juicy steaks and other good things to ton including fish and oysters at C. J. Green's market" "Il's about my lunch time," said Grandpa, "und as you young folks must be hungry too we will lo.se no time in calling on Joe Lose, proprietor of "Eats" Restaurant. For a quick lunch, short orders, regular meals, fish, oysters, fruits and every delicacy in season his place is the place to go. I've tried him and I know. Cleanliness, prompt service, generous portions and courteous treatment are by-words here and it’s the good cooking and good coffee that makes ’em popular. Eat at the “Eats" and wear that satisfied look.” “And say Grandpa,’ 1 ’ exclaimed I’olly, "where will I go for dry goods? This dress of mine is hardly suitable I must admit". “Well my girl if you want to select from one of the finest stocks of first class dry goods in this section 1 will direct you to Niblick ft Company who carry a line of dress goods, swell silks and ready to wear that for variety and real value are seldom seen outside of the large centers. There's a definite and impo/t---■nt psychology of dress for the woman who realizes that clothes are not just a mere protection from wind, rain and cold nor a mere budge denoting wealth or class but a means i of best expressing her personality Perhaps the most fundamental rule for a becoming dress Is this: Know your type and adopt a mode of dressing that in the simplicity of good taste best accentuates your natural ’harm. Niblick & Co’s ready to wear ' and especially the Worth coats, suits and dresses are built to bring out he more than best in what, nature • has given you and they and tbeir •rnployes are always ready to give ou expert advice and help you ■ choose models Uiat will bring out ’ vour individuality. They also carry ' everything in general dry goods at Niblicks. They buy right as well as ' sell right; their overhead is low comi pared to the larger cities and you get ' the advantage of this in the low ' prices that are always consistent at f Niblick & Company." • "Well scat my boy,” said Foxy ■ Irandpa. with a David Hamm uci cent as they reached the street, "I i must run across to Old Adams Connty Bank and get another check book. > Come along and get acquainted with • C. S. Niblick, president; F. M. Schir- ' tneyer, vice president; E. X. Ehinger, i cashier and A. Scheumann and R. E. Meibers assistant cashiers, for of ■ course you will do business with them and it is always more pleasant ! io be personally acquainted with the • officers with whom you come hi ' touch. This bank is managed in • safe, conservative lines and has a ■ strong working capital and surplus, you will find them ever ready to ex- • tend any accomodations compatible ■ with business principles. A good • bank today means more to its customers than a convenient medium of 1 exchange. It stands in that intimate relationship to its customers whose success contributes to its own. 'Hie ■ old Adams County bank is the Friendly Bank, and does anything for ’ its customers that a good bunk ought to do. They have safety deposit 1 boxes for papers and valuables and 1 pay 4 percent interest on time depos its and savings." "Guess I'll open an ' account with the Old Adams Count) 1 bank at once,” said Charles, "as 1 appreciate good banking connections" At this point somewhat to Charles 1 confusion the old genl indulged in a i half serious criticism of his personal appearft.ee. “You are decidedly off I style for a townsman.” said he, “and . we'd better run Into Vance & Linn's ' big clothing and furnishing house. . After Charles had fitted himself out in a neat late style business suit of Knppe.nheimer make Grandpa dedalI ed “Now you look like a newly mar- . ried man and that we Indianans can show you Vermonters how to lone up a bit." Having found such a large assortment of furnishings here at such low prices. Charles invested in a Mullory hat, a supply of Manhattan shirts, E. & W. collars, ties, Vassar . underwear, Allen "A" hosiery, sweaters and caps and grips and bags for both. Grandpa remarking that he , knew and about every one else in this section understood if it was new and correct in dress for Grandad. Dad or the Lad you would find it at Vance ft Linn properly priced." “Halt!" commanded Foxy Grandpa as the party came tn front of The H.ilthouse Drug Co. "Walk right in. ■ “Why Grandpa we're not sick and , "Guess I know that," laughed he, . "but I suspect it won't be long before • this young man begins to take an in- . terest in matters of paregoric and—' “G r-a-n-d-p-a!" "We’ll go in anyway as Folly may find some toilet articles . she wants.” Sure enough the girl I was soon loaded down with combs, : brushes, face powders, several bottles I of fine perfumes, Eaton-Crane & Pike etb-tiooery. etc - "This is beadquaiters for Eastman Kodaks and supplies, Squibbs household products,

Viet rotas and Victor records, Wahls pons and pencils, including the now novelties, nnlnts. oils, varnishes, ptalns, etc. Bring till your prescription to the tlolthouao Drug company as they use the purest mid most reliable of drugs." "Let’s see, 1 promised you a gold watch, didn't 1?" queried Foxy Grandpa of Polly. "Well the place of all places is at Pumphrey’s, The Gift Shop, Gifts Unique." Entering this popular jewelry store Grandpa gallantly acquitted himself of his promise by presenting Polly with u handsome time piece and then directed her attention to the superior stock of jewelry, silverware, diamonds, ;dllt glass, fancy china, Pyrolin ivory toilet articles, novelties, etc. and advised her to buy her family clock and Big Ben here. “Dependable jewelry are gifts that last and always retain a fond remembrance of the giver. Pumphreys jewelry Is the dependable kind and you better hear these initials in mind ’ll. Y. C. 8. E.’ Do your Christmas shopping early. They are also expert doctors on sick watches here and can diagnose any old case and make an old dyspeptic time piece look and act like now. Exclusive agency for Brunswick phonographs and all late Brunswick records. You need make no apology for quality of music furnished in the home with Brunswick phonographs anil records in it.” "If there Is one thing above another that you young folks are particular alx>ut it is your footwear," said Grandpa, "and the place for particular people to have their wants anticipated is at Peoples Cash Shoe store. He has the shoes here to lit your feet, your fancy and your finances,” said Grandpa, “and as to wear—well your Grandma and I have tried 'em and we will guarantee their lasting qualities.” Polly was not long in selecting a handsome walking boot of Rileys Arch Relief Shoe, Charley a foot form last of Bostonions and while Polly was casting shy glances at Ideal Foot Form line for children and Healthy Foot for the little tot Grandpa purchased comfy slippers, and rubbers all around for the crowd. No one needing footwear foot appliances (the Arrow-South kind) or any thing in footwear can resist the style and prices at Peoples Cash Shoe Store. ” “And where will I find the loading millinery establishment?'’ asked Polly of Grandpa. "Just across the street.” said he. “and we will visit M. DeininguT, who, by the way, has on hand the smartest dress, pattern, street, picture hats and Parisian models in this community. The latest styles and< lowest prices being her motto'. She has that experience which guarantees when you have once purchased of her, you have the proper thing at lowest cost. And a few minutes later there wasn’t a happier lady than Polly in the proud possession of a tony effect of f M. Deininger and her milliners own creation." "A certain lady wrote to Rudyard Kipling remarking that there was one word and only one in the English vocabulary where the “su“ was pronounced “shu" and that word was sugar. He replied as follows ‘Are. you sure?” "Now," said Grandpa, "I want you tq be sure you get the right kind of battery for your car and if you call on Jos. C. Gnau at Decatur Battery Co., get the Vesta battery and service you will not only be sure you will be positive you have the right kind as Vesta is to Batteries what Sterling is to Silver. The battery is the life of the ear. It is responsible for its starting und lighting and being the most importanat accessory shouldn’t be overlooked. No battery is indestructible. Any battery will ultimately wear out. The Vesta is the best to be had but you should call on Jos. C. Gnau at least twice a month, get distilled water and the benefit of his skilled advice It costs nothing to consult him and it may save you a lot of driving grief. For without the juice you cannot run and he with Vesta batteries sees that you run right. He sells you the new batteries, repairs the old gives you personal service on any kind of battery trouble and his prices are always right.” As the young folks were undecld ed what to go into to help swell the bank account, they were prevailed upon by Grandpa to go in for farming. “Now go at this farming game as you would any other commercial business.” said he. "First you want good land, then you want the right kind of equipment to work it and if you call at Shanahan-Conroy Auto Co., the Ford agency, get a Fordson tractor and tractor drawn imple ments, Oliver plow, Roderick-Lean disc und harrow, cultlpacker and all allied implements you will have your labor troubles solved as you can do most of the work yourself and farming is a pleasure with a Fordson. They carry the complete Ford line of cars, trucks, etc., and one of the most complete lines of genuine Ford parts in this section. They have ample storage room and give you complete Ford service. It is expert service and promptness is the slogan at ( Shanahan-Conroy Auto Co.” “There's an old saying tlwt the clothes don't make tile man,” said

Grnndpn, "They may not. but they help und when they are swell torfs such us Louis F. Mnllanit turns out they help mightily. His clothes hpve that snap to 'em wblcli ruukes a man Who wears them feel that Ito is well dressed and then too, be has u fine line of new fall samples to select from. He guarantees a fit and Is on trio ground to make good. They sing as they work in this shop and th< y put this over yesterday: '|f Casey Junes’ should take 'His ftlg Beautiful Doll’ ’Down by the Old Mill Stream’ while 'Alexander's Rag Time Band' pluyed ‘Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland' you should take your ‘Mysterious Rags' to ixiuis F. Midland and have them cleaned, pressed, altered and repaired for 'Everybody's Doing it Now." He also looks after fine ladies' work. “A swell tailored full suit for me at Louis E. Muilands,” said Charles. He got it. “I tell you my boy," said Foxy Grandpa, in an aside to Charley. "This young wife of yours is a model housekeeper, especially Is she one of the best breadmakers that ever worked over an oven. But even the most expert baker must liave pood material to work with so good flour is a desirable Item. I’d advise you to use and patronize firms handling the Fornax Milling Co's, products. Their brands of flour especially that called Blue Ribbon is the. most Jjppular on the market and should be in use hy every housewife in this vicinity as well as elsewhere. They also have on hand com meal, graham, buckwheat, whole wheat, pumpnickle, all kinds of mill feed, bran, shorts, chops, mill run, Purina chows, Blackfords calf meal and all at lowest market prices. 11. M. Gilllg. mgr., here is always on the market paying top prices for farmers grain with ample elevator capacity to handle. You get proper treatment at Fornax Milling Co. always." • “I ma}' be a good baker,” said Polly, “but 1 only bake when I feel like it, and I am surely not going to kill myself over the washtub at all, so tell me of a good laundry. Here was a good chance to recommend B. R. Farr's Decatur Laundry and Dry Cleaners. They make a specialty of ladies and gentlemens fine laundry and pride themselves on being able it satisfy the most particular customers. They do hotel flat work and family washing and all work when returned by them has that fresh, sweet odor and crispness which creates in one a feeling of entire satisfaction and makes you a Decatur Laundry booster. Their cleaning and pressing department is in competent hands with sudden service their slogan.” “Do you own the property you think you own?" said Grandpa. “There's lots to think about in that phrase. Therefor we will just run into Lenhart & Heller, attorneys and abstractors, and find out. There are many pieces of property, encumbered by a mortgage, long paid oft but not cancelled of record, clouding title right here in Adams county and as I don't want your property in that shape we will have Lenhart ft Heller make out complete abstracts of title to all your property. They have a complete set of record books and when they make out an abstract you can rest assured it is done right aud without defect. It Is better to be safe than sorry and you will be on the safe side, aud own what you think you own. if they do the work. They do notary work, conveyancing, write deeds, mortgages, contracts and insurance and are dependable. You will feel better ami safer after a visit to Lenhart ft Heller's offices.” As Polly was going in for chicken raising Charley wanted to specialize in something on the farm and was induced to go in lor dairying by Grandpa. “If you get good milk stock, give them the attention they deserve, get a good DeLavel cream separator at Lee's, then take your butter fat to Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., you can't help but make money. They are on the market at all times paying top prices for cream and butter fat, give you correct tests and returu your cans sanitary steam cleaned. This is the home of the Cloverleaf Creamery Butter and Tasty Ice Cream, is one of the leading industries iu this section and one that many communities pay a big bonus to have an institution of this kind locate in their midst. Why they pay out over $1,500,000.00 annually to farmers and dairymen through Adams and adjoining counties. While here inspecting the creamery Charley remarked "What would a good meal be without butter." "It wouldn’t be good." said Polly. "It would be a calamity,” said Grandma. "Yes. and without Cloverleaf Creamery Butter and Tasty Ice Cream it would be a crime," said ' Grandpa. "Take it from me, I know. The butter la sold extensively throughout this section and shipped everywhere. So take your cream to Cloverleaf Creameries regularly.” said Grandpa, "they treat you right.'' “You must trust your mechanics whether they trust you or not," said Grandpa. "You cannot afford to take chances ou mzchanics who are carelefts or do not understand their business. When you take your tire troubles to Franz & Murray at Decatur Service Co. you take no chances as they understand the tire game to a 'T'. with a complete vulcanizing plant, retreader and equipment to do the work. As things are today you can not offord to throw the old tires away, protnisciously, but take them to Franz ft Murray. It they can fix them they will do so and at moderate

cost. If they are not worth fixing they will boncstly tell you ho nn<l then you i-ah buy the General Cord and Fabric: tltes with the regulation guarunt<-e. They <-utry all kinds of tire und auto acceHSories, have the Maxwell Auto agency, give you coniph-tc tire service w it It trouble chaser, aud give you suddea service always." "We will next visit an institution that does as much to advertise Decatur as any establishment in it,” said Grandpa, "and that is Confer's manufacturers of soft drinks and ice cream. You will find Decatur on every bottle and container sent out and the goods contained therein are a credit to any firm and popular wit It a host of plowed customers. Their special drinks: Orange Cider, Ginger Ale, Grape Julip, Green River and all flavors of sodas and phosphates are sold extensively throughout this section and us only the purest of water and syrups are used they cannot help but please. Conter Ice Cream is the ‘Cream of Creams’ made from pure, wholesome, delicious cream aud milk, sugar added and flavored to the taste. Why it tastes like another dish everytime. As u dessert it is unexcelled as a food. It ranks among the very best. Rich or poor, young or old. sick or well they all enjoy the Conter Ice Cream (the Cream of Creams.) Therefor call for the Conter products at all fountains and parlors. You will get refreshing, healthful und absolutely pure articles," “I know I will like Decatur and the people here." said I’olly, “but 1 had one regret upon leaving Rutland. I was tuking a course of Chiropractic adjustments and was obliged to give them up. 1 was getting so much good from them too.” “You needn’t let that worry you,” said Grandpa, "we have a very able chiropractor, here, in Dr. 8. J. Zurbueb, with offices in K C building, who is thorough in the knowledge of his profession aud whose entire interests are in his work." "1 declare, Grandpa," exclaimed Charley, “I am a little backward in this science but Just what is chiropractic?" "It's the method of analyzing and adjusting the physical cause of disease, not by medicine or surgery but by skilled application of the bands and fingers to the spine or nerve centers —getting at the root of things as it were. Simple enough isn't it? And it’s wonderful to see how cold on the lungs, pneumonia, pleurisy, lumbago, rheumatism, diseases of women and all other diseases yield to it and often with one adjustment. There are many children of advanced age today who owe their physical wellbeing to correct and judicious adjustment, the chiropractic way, in early life. 1 have no hesitancy in recommending it, and Dr. S. J. Zurbuch, chiropractor, who is well versed in all modern methods of drugless practice.” “I have always looked at life prone a practical standpoint,” said Grandpa, “as the party was coming from a visit at Pennsylvania station, and spying the Wemhoff Monumental Works, remarked "Let's go in and get acquainted. I am getting along in years.” .soliloquized he, “and I'll f.el better now if I know that after my demise there'll be a fitting monument placed where it should be. Do you kaow 1 think there isn’t enough attention given to this matter by the average head of the household. It's a duty the head of the house owes to his family to provide a last resting place for all its members and have a fitting monument placed at the head of each individual. It's the duty the head of the house owes to bl.s or her family and the family back to them. In placing your orders for monuments or statuary of any kind choose a reliable firm who handle the best grades of foreign and domestic marble and granite, who are and employ competent designers that, no matter how difficult an lde.a you mayhave for the building of a monument it will be carried, out. Such a firm is Wemhoff's and they use the sandblast system in lettering and one of the very few firms in Indiana who do use it. It Is unique und perfect and you will do well to investigate.
