The Clinton News-Record, 1898-06-16, Page 108 TBE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. JUNE 16, 1898 THE DAY FOR - BIG PROFITS has gone by. Value is the modern practise, and we adhere closely to it. The old idea of seeing how much profit the people will stand without open rebellion is out of date, with us it was never in fash- ion. \Ve sell so as to keep on selling. We buy to the best pos- sible advantage and share that ad- vantage with our patrons. In a sense you tau be extravagant here and yet it won't cost you much. We are not given at all to bargain hysteria but our habit is the giving of honest value at honest prices. WE INSURE the pocketbook against the waste of money for we give the very best we can for the very least cash. \\'e do this if you want a ham- mock, not on paper alone but in good materials, and good work- manship. This insurance is in the hiumnulck itself, in its durability. It insures you rest and comfort, it makes a good stretching place during the heated term, they are healthful, and conductive to a happy mood. One dollar will buy one either with or without a pillow, better ones at advanced prices. Our aim is to suit every taste and satisfy perfectly every preference. \Ve want only to sell you what you want to buy. The W. D. Fair Cot CLINTON. Agents Parker's Dye 1Vorks. w tivextigienellto.
