In leaving Chatterson did not take time the brakes, and the car started down the grade and against the Bellamy storehouse on the corner, causing no serious damage however.

Did you ever stop to think how your money is divided when you are buying a so-called custom suit from the travelling agent. Well, sum it up and figure how much goes into the cloth and trimmings: 1st, manufacturer's profits; 2nd, minimum portion for the travelling salesman; 3rd, minimum portion for his travelling expenses; 4th, the storekeeper's commission. Now, what is left for cloth, trimmings and making--they all must be cheaper grade. "Cut out" the THREE profits and get a better suit for the same money from your home manufacturer, V. G. Cornwell,-and get satisfaction. V. G.
