fl Short Story of Profit Co the Purchaser... Sometimes a dealer buys more than he can sell in the regular season and he cannot afford to carry what he is overstocked in over to the next season. He wisely cuts down the price, and gives the shrewd buye a chance at money saving. Our gasoline stoves are so well made and so well worth the price originally asked for them that most customers would not expect a reK?/ duction, but we have decided to sell them and have applied a sharp knife to the price. The “Quick Meal” Gasoline Stove Is well named and every housewife knows its value. It can be used for two months yet this fall and you get all the difference between the present price and the full price next spring. If you are interested, come in and let us show them to you, E. D. Rhoades.
