Walkerton, Ind., Avg. 22, IS!M>. SUMMER HOSIERY and UNDERWEAR - MUST GO AT THEBOSTON DRY GOODS STOW;. This is the season of the year that one usually is in need of new things in Ho siery and Underwear.

One lot of Fancy Hose, black l>oot pat tern and fancy tops, coming in all col , ors imaginable, worth 35 cents, and ’ only 19c a pair Extra Special. One lot of Ladies’Fine Guage Hose, fast black and white feet, worth 35c a pair, now only 25c a pair ■ Ladies’ Summer Underwear. This is the last call on Summer I n derwear, and it is the loudest.

I i M. ’4* y.O - h J - The Sunbeam Washing M ichine Outshini s all Competitors and is a Favor it it Sight MW 1 F Ti RE!» in THE CDATES MANUFACTURING CO The pnwrv'-s made in labor-saving machinery f r the washing, wringing, and irom g of clothing within the past few years is indeed something wonder ful. Improvement in ore branch >f the above mentioned machinery lias always been attended with e< rn <( -nding ad vanee in others, thus impressing one that a few more y ears.and the washb ird will Be a thing of the past. Indeed the tedious and lalHgious work of washing by hand is fast disapj • aring, and a very short ‘ii e, at most, and it will have had its day. Among the latest m d . satHsfactory h.. < iitioi.s in this line is l<he Sunbeam jWashing Machii e. which has 1 gained a world wide reputation for d m excellent work. The Sunbeam, unlike all lever rotating or cogwheel machines. . which will tire the arms, wrench the back : or strain -the chest of an ordinary woman while standing up to work them, can lie and is best worked with ease to the operator by sitting, and the work is done with very little expenditure of muscle. I Being closed, it prevents splashing of ' water and inhaling of steam, so injurious to health, and retains the temperature so necessary in removing the dirt from goods, and freeing them from all oily and greasy substance. This machine is guaranteed to thoroughly cleanse all kinds of clothing without the aid of the washboard, saie boiling the clothes and do the entire work. The operator, while sitting in an easy chair, can do a family washing in one-fourth the time required by any other machine upon the market. It is built of the best material, substantially made and neatly finished. M ith proper care, it will last for many years. Largest endorsement of any machine upon the market.
