Some One Has Said
It Depends Not On What1Wo make
It Is What We Savo
e®
For instance, if vote happen to be a farmer
the chances are that somewhere around your house
y
there is an old pair of leather .topped rubbers or
other rubber or leather footwear, and upon exam-
ination you will find the "tops" almost as good as
new.' Now a good leather topped rubber will cost
approximately $4,95 per pair, but, by using the old,
tops referred to above the total cost will be just
.$2.95 per pair and they will be absolutely as good
as those for which you pay $4.95.
We give an illustration as to
\what we mean. This cut showsp
pre-
cisely what they will look like. The
old leather tops and NEW rubber
bottoms in the laced kind sewed on
will cost you lust
2.95 Pair
Per
And they are just as good as
those you pay :4.95 for.
ANOTHER
WAY TO SAVE ON RUBBER FOOTWEAR
have e y r_ie we reor
Is to � e itr l a aed. �v place the soles
patch the uppers and gttaxantee them "to stick",
and our price is MOST REASONABLE.

Dear Friend:
Just a line of thanks and apprecia-

MONEY FOUND i_N
BALL OF RAGS
One of the queerest- stories for
some time is that of a roll of bilis,
$362 in amount, found in the core of
a ball of carpet rags received by J.
H. Asquith, of Stratford, from Mrs.
W. Weber, R.R, 1, Auburn.
Mr. Asquith is a'weaver of rugs and
carpets at 312 Huron street, Stratford
and recently some carpet rags were
delivered at his place to be woven for
Mrs. Weber. As he was unwinding
one of the balls he found in it a roll
of, banknotes and on counting them.
found they amounted to $362. `It was
in the fifteenth ball he found the lit-
tle fortune and he hastily unwound
the remaining: 'three balls received
from his Auburn customer, but found
no further treasure.
Henry Doerr., farmer, living a short
distance south -of Auburn, was ap-
parently the owner of the "nestegg."
It appears that the carpet rags were
puttogether by Mr. Doerr's wife, who
died a year ago` last summer. After
her death, considerable sums of mon-
ey were
oney"were found ,from. time to time, hid-
den in various places about the house
—under carpets, under mattresses and
elsewhere.
After Mrs. Doerr's death the balls.
of carpet rags came into the posses-
sion of Mrs. W. Weber of Auburn,
when they were removed from the
Doerr home byan aunt of Mr, Doerr.
Mrs. Weber decided to have there wo
ven, and had, them sent to Stratford,.
where the honest weaver, Mr. Asquith
discovered there in the course of his
work. The money had probably been
in its-strange'hidin-place for two or
'Imre years.
Second Claimant
A second clairnant for the $362
which J. H. Asquith found inthe Cen-
tre of a'byall 01 carpet wags"has been heard from. A Kitchener woman, who -
claims to be a daughter of the late
Mrs. Henry Doerr, of Auburn, who is
believed to have placed the bills in
the ball of rags; is the new claimant.
In a letter to Mr. Asquith she asked
him to send or take the money to her
at once` and "God will reward you for
putting it in the paper."
In the meantime, however, Mr. As-
quith has placed- the money safely in
a bank until ownership of the roll of
bills is authoritatively "decided.
