As a proof of what we state samples of same will be on exhibition in tin window at Jewell Moyer s hardware store. Akely is a fineing town with a population of 12U0, lighted bv electricity.

Don’t fail to read every advertisement in this paper regularly every week. If you fail to read them one week you are liable to miss a bargain as nearly all of our ads are changed each week and there is no town, large or small, in Iowa that has business men who tell of their bargains as clearly and then do as they state as do the Arlington business men. They have tine iines of. up-to-date goods and they are marked in plaid figures and are sold as low as good goods can possibly be sold at. Most of them sell for cash and are thus saved poor accounts. Before you buy don’t fail to come to Arlington and look over the stocks carried here and if you do we feel certain that you will -not only make your purchases here but that you will be a regular patron of the town.■A thousand things by it are clone far better than most things do one.
