CLARE NEWS -AND NOTES,
by
Because their expenses are so heavy compared with ours. No Clare house can undersell us and live. We have gained a reputation
for fair dealing and low prices, and once more
we assert no one can sell
Farm Implements,
Carriages, Wagons, Etc.,
Lower Than We Can.
Some of the prices quoted by our competitors are not low prices. Generally we sell the
goods for a much lower price.
Ttils is no Idle Boast    *•    *
We stand ready and willing to prove it if you
will but call,
I HANDLE A
mum
Which is Superior to All Others.
Call at the Warehouse and examine the best and largest
stock of Farm Tools and Implements
ever brought into the county.
