Thompson Bros, shoes made in Brockton, is conceded by shoe people to be among the top lines in the stands as the very best in shoe making. When we bought the Perry Co. stock of $9600 last winter we secured a big proportion of Thompson shoes, i Every one'knows that the styles in men's shoes have been the same for three or four buy and re- buy and rebuy the same style season after season.

These Thompson styles are the same' that Thompson Bros. are selling for the coming fall. In fact the "Tarsus" last, the "Classic" last, and the "Tourist" last are the leading lasts for fall in the Thompson line. Now the price for fall on the Thompson line will be at retail at all stores $15 and shoes can-1 not be sold for less. Right now with several hundred pairs, of these shoes in stock our prices are $10 and People who come here for shoes from other towns ask us why we sell Thompsons so much under other towns; we have been asked this several times lately.

fertilizer for Fall Seeding I have contracted for all the Pure Bone Meal and other High Grade Fertilizers that we buy for fall seeding of wheat. Our Pure Bone Meal is the High Grade 3 per cent Ammonia, and 24 per cent Phosphoric Acid, and per cent Ammonia and 29 per cent Phosphoric Acid. There filler in these goods, but are strictly Pure Bone Meal. Also have the High Grade Grain Growers and Acid Phosphate to offer, but on account of the shortage of cars every farmer who is going to use Fertilizer this fall should place his order at once so that these goods can be ordered out in this month and be delivered in August. If you wait until later the chances are that you will not be able to secure any fertilizerat all.

Remember that in placing your order for Fertilizer with me that we are in position to take care of'the goods in our wareroom for several so that you will not have fro stop plowing or haying in order make a special trip ti town to get fertilizer out of the car This would mean a saving of at least $5.00 per ton to you when you are can get the fertilizer from me when to town without making a special trip.
