Wool! Wool! ce Mr. Farmer this is wool season. Are youaware that we buy wool? Are you sure that you have been marketing your wool at the most profitable place? The majority of people Jook for the best market for every product of the farm, but some say: "Ob! I've alwaye sold my wool to so and so." -- Now let us tell yon that so and so does not always give you the best of the bargain. It would perhaps pay you to sea what your neighbor bas done with his wool. He may be one of those wide awake fellows who hits the top notch for everything. He may have been out to see "The Farmers' Friend, about his wool. You all know our reputation for paying the very highest prices for all kinds of produce at every sea- gon of the year. Now when we can get o market for Butter, Eggs, Dried Apples and Poultry so that we can ' pay you more than anyone else, why can't we seoure just such a market for wool? Remember opr business experience has taken ug over a very wide field and we perhaps have a greater outlet than many others, so don't get into the rut that only leads to one place every year, Come and see us supposing we only pay you the same price as others, you know our stock consists of such a variety jn all lines.of goods-that-we~can'tlislp proving an attraction to the man with a bundle of wool. If you M€ed the Cash we have it too, although we pay more trade in order to incease our business. Apvics.--See THE FARMERS' FRIEND about your woo), Soaks .
