W WV WBOBMMP W V WBHV WBW WMBW «■■■■» WV WW ft II Reduction FURNITURE phjl 10 to 40 Per Cent Cut on Every Article in the Store

I ' J TN taking charge of the Furniture Store recently purchased ■ i of the Jay W. Williams heirs, I find it desirable to f greatly reduce the stock, and to accomplish this in the least I possible time I have decided to mark every article for sale U at a greatly reduced price during the season of heaviest ■ furniture buying. This price reduction extends to every | w article of furniture in the store, except kitchen cabinets, which by contract with the manufacturers can not be sold except at the factory retail price. Everything else has been marked down as low as we could afford to sell it, and there is at least a 10 per cent reduction on it all, and this cut in price extends to as much as 40 per cent on some articles. The price advantage is certain to attract attention and create a a great rush for the first choice, and I have decided to give ■ all an equal chance by starting the sale Saturday MornI ing, Dec. 12, and continuing it to Dec. 31. 2 My clerks have carefully gone over every article, left I W the old sale price tag and placed over it a new red tag with the reduction price thereon, Both prices are in plain figures and customers can see for themselves that the reduction is actual. My motive in making this great sacrifice sale is to condense the stock which is now displayed and stored in several rooms, and to allow the display of new goods that I are to arrive on Jan. 1. This is not an effort to sell old and out-of-date furniture, for it is deubtful if there was a better stock in Northern Indiana than the Williams stock, and this means rare bargains in the best furniture.

Burns Town

Wesley Price was a Rensselaer goer Tuesday. Alex Hurley is hauling corn to Rensselaer. Roy Scott spent Saturday night with Harry Hellengreen. John Nichols was in this neighborhood buying hogs Tuesday. John Marlatt took a flying trip to Medaryville Tuesday in his auto. Vilas and Bennie Price are cutting cord wood for George McElfresh. Chris Morgenegg went to Rensselaer Monday and got a load of coal for the Burns school house. Quite a few people from this locality attended the farmers’ institute at Rensselaer Monday and Tuesday. Wonder if Charley is done husking corn yet Charley is like Bryan; he has been running and got behind with his work. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Rogers, of Wolcott, attended the box social at Burns Town Saturday evening, the latter being a sister of Miss Jacks. We learn by reading the ads In the Republican that Mr. Reed McCoy has advertised his wife’s driving mule for sale. It surely didn’t give satisfaction. Vilas seems to be very happy now-a-day, ever since Saturday night, especially. We wonder why he wanted to carry that lamp home for, it was quite "moony.’’ Vilas came to the social with the necessary change to purchase the school ma’ms box, and It seemed to be very satisfactory. The box social at Burns Town was well attended. The boys were liberal with their money and there were thirty-two well filled boxes. Ethel Holmes got the prize for being the most popular young lady, and Samuel Holmes the prize for being the hungriest man. The latter prize was a roasted chicken, to which Sam did ample justice. The receipts of the social were $23.35.
