Hyhy change DIFFERENCE? jj For many years you have been feeding the Checker board products, Purina and all those good things that make your horses, cows, hogs and chickens sleek, tat and healthy. Why should you change for something that is indefinite, of a doubtful nature to experiment with. Es pecially when the price is less in many instances..

We receive almost daily ■ car loads and you are never in doubt when you come heie to trade —we usually have what you want and we save you money. _ . , We have been established many years and about every body knows this old reliable firm. This knowledge is next to the reliability of the feed stuffs that you buy and the combination is hard to beat. Then, too, we not only sell cracked feeds, oats, com and hay, but we are well stocked with other things for the farm and the home. We are specialists in the Grocery line. Our grocery de partment is stocked at all times with the choicest that the market affords and you can get what you want when you want it and at the price you want to pay. We are always a shade under the market with flour and sugar, as well as other staple merchandise. We can supply your wants in both heavy and fancy groceries, canned goods and the feed. _ Remember we buy and sell all kinds of country produce, cross ties and pay the highest market price.
