AN IMPORTANT POINT. 5 I When you buy work or buggy harness you want as good as 1 you can buy for the money. That is business. It is our busi- 5- J ness to do this—to give you all that is possible for your money. J The harness we sell is all hrstclass in quality and is sewed with • the patent lock stitch which can not rip. While'being sewed € the thread is all the time being soaked in wax, making it better 1 really than hand made. This is an important point. Our • leather is all the same thickness as far as it is possible to get it J and every piece is full weight. That is an important point. f These are not the only important points either. See our j harness. J Shawhan Boonshot&Cos ■ Hardware. * Petersburg. Ind. 6 ? 8 ■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■•■••■•■•a >
