W. J. WRIGHT 1 THE question for thoughtful people 1 to consider right now is not what ✓goods cost today but what they “will cost in the next few months to come. , There is no use in getting shocked when you inquire about prices on furniture today—for the worst is yet to come, every indication points to a marked increase in retail prices this fall. The prices we are offering today are so far below the present market quotations 'that we are beginning to feel sorry for oucselves. % »• * b"" W. J. WRIGHT z Rensselaer, - - - Indiana

Think This Over Would you like to come into our store and pay us forty-five dollars for a suit of clothes—and then—see the same suit in our window a few weeks later marked down to twenty-five or thirty-five dollars? Wouldn’t you feel that you had been skinned? Wouldn’t you know you had paid too much for yours? Don’t you think your money i s as good as the other fellows? Wouldn’t you rather buy your clothes, hats, shoes and furnishings from the store that sells merchandise at the same price they sell to everybody, that sells you the Newest Styles, the Best Qualities with a legitimate profit the year around? , That’s the way we do business. Your dollar has as many pennies in it as the other fellows. Everybody pays the same price for the same article here. We don’t mark outrageous and extraordinary profits off our merchandise at the beginning of the season so we can cut the prices later and still come out to the good. We don’t tell you that we sell you $45.00 suits for $35.00 for we can’t do it—and neither can any other store—but we do give you a better suit for $45.00 than the stores that have sales. And we give it to you all the year 'round, too. This Store Doesn't Have Sales Wouldn’t you rather trade where your money will buy as much as the other fellow’s, where there are no favorites played, where a $45.00-suit is a $45.00 suit the year around to everybody and not a $45.00 suit to you one day and a $35.00 suit to your neighbor the next? We believe you would. Honest-to-Goodness All-Wool Clothes ' at Honest-to-Goodness prices. Only Gentile Exclusive Clothing Store in Jasper Co.

ily of Rensselaer. They are well.

We have never before seen anything like the number of these new cars that are being driven through 'here of late, and it would indicate thdt very few are (being shipped by rail any imore.

- Automobiles - February 17, 1920. Dear Sir: The Hudson Is best known for endurance. We have never emphasized Hudson speed, though it holds all the stock car speed records, and won the American Speedway Champioiuihdp. For few of Hudson’s 75,000 owners will ever care to extend their to their speed limit. Nor will they likely ever meet a hill that will require the full exertion (Of Hudson power. Wihat does count day after day. is iHhidson durability, its traln-Hke regularity, and freedom from repair. What does count after months of service is the way Hudson retains unimpaired those smooth, silent powers of performance for which It Is famous. That Is where endurance counts. That is why endurance is the most important of all car qualities. The Hudson Super-Six holds all the worthwhile endurance records. It has proved such endurance as no other car has ever shown. Hudson leads not only In performance, and In sales, but also in style. You can get the unmatched performance qualities of the Hudson Super-Six motor In a variety of distinctive cloced models. Uet ue know when we may send, your preference of these Hudson types for your inspection and trial. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
