It is an open secret, urell known to the farmers of Mc- Henry county, that during" the last 12 years ours has been the only Agricultural Warehouse in the county where everything in our line needed on the farm, from a pound of the best Barbed Wire to a Threshing Machine could lie obtained at all times without notice. It was thought by'thpse who knew us least, that the destruction of our Ware­ house by fire a year a^o, would cripple us. Iustead ot doing so, it has given us new life and vigor so that we are now better pre­ pared than ever before to under­ sell our (would be) competitors. Our Spring stock is by far the largest and best in the county, vind we are selling so close that it is a rare thing to see any one looking at our goods and going aw#) without buying.
