Rff EXCEPTIONAL VALUE II* $1.19 .$1.75 $1.25 Town Meet Ball Team Km <S«4» . Espor*e»ee McHENRY, ILLINOIS That the members of the McHenry town biasket ball team are made «p of the "I will" spirit was demonstrated most conclusively last Saturday night, when the team was billed to appear at Grayslake. Allowing for Lake ^outity's mod and clay, the two automobiles carrying the players left this village quite early laBt Saturday evening 'and when reaching a point a short distance east of Volo both machines went into the mud up to their hubs. All coaxing and considerable hard work failed td do any good and, rather than disappoint the Grayslake team and the crowd of fans, the car drivers started to walk to Round Lake. After a long, muddy and tiresome journey the "outfit" finally landed in Round Lake, where an automobile was chartered to carry them to Grayslakp. When the team " finally landed in Grayslake the boys were so-tired and done up that they were in anything but first-class condtton for a hard struggle. In fact onp-<jfthe players, and who has always provefc *. star on our town team, was |oo tired tcMSfean, don a suit. \ • In spite of this habdfcap, the Mr- Henry outfit put up a, very creditable article of ball and made the home team exert itself to the very limit to carry away the evening's honors by a sdore of 34 to 26. 1 Grayslake has always maintained a first-class town team and this year's quintet is no exception'. They put up a high-grade article of -ball, but those trom here who saw the contest declare that McHenry hais just as good a team and, under ordinary circum* stances, should have 1 carried away the evening's honors. ' Realizing that thefe wasn't a chance to get back ho^ae that night, the players, at the clos# of the game, started to look up a hotel in which to put up for the night and to their great surprise they discovered that "there ain't no such thing" in Grayslake. They made the te*y best of it by hiking over to the Soo depot, where they remained until the following morning, when they got an early train to Spring Grove, from which village they were driven back to McHenry. Some experience. The two teams will meet again on Thursday evening of next week, April 3, at the McHenry high school gymnasium, at which time the locals expect to even up matters. Basket ball fans should bear this date in mind and tuni out in goodly numbers, as the game\is sure to terminate into one of the fastest exhibitions seen on the home floor this seasott.

WALSH ' - " *1 1 ' From Edwin J. I|eiimtr Feb. 26, 1919. Friend Frank--Just a few words at this time t6 let you all know that I am still among the living and batting about 1000 per cent in the league of health. Yes, I am still over here in the A. E. F. and, judging from ^1 recent reports, I shall continue"to be here until July or August. Kin ya feature that? I know it is an awful thing to look forward to, especially when one continually reads of Johnny So and So arriving home and being mustered out, but what can a fellow do outside of grinning and trying to laugh it off? Would like to get me good sized row boat for I know I should be tempted to try my hand at rowing those miles back to Hoboken. From the above you can readily see I am not in love with the country. Of course I am enjoying myself to the fullest extent and never in .my life have I felt more fit physically or otherwise. Contented as the day is long and consequently I am getting fat, or falling away to a ton as we say. I see in the Chicago papers where the Blackhawks received quite a welcome on their return and right here I might add that I sure do envy those boys. Only wish they would decide to send these "Knights of the Black Watch" of ours back. Frank, if you want to see a dandy bunch of "col ored gentlemen" you should see our crew. The pick of North Carolina and, say, they sure are some there. We have been enjoying wonderful weather lately, regular spring va riety, the kind that compels the kids to play marbles and jacks. As you might know, we get plenty of rain and hence the sun is doubly welcome when it does appear. The winter in our section was very mild, to soy the least, and I am thankful for it. On several occasions I have gone to Dijou and, say, I sure do enjoy my self. Fairly live town and a ifcbod time is easily to be had. Met Sharkey of Richmond a while back and had him out to our camp for a day. He was at that time ex pecting to sail directly for the states Time for mess and bejng an advocate of the full mess kit I think it best hie me dqwn to the kitchen. Regards to everybody. . Bud.

H "How can you afford to give premiums and still sell first-class merchandise at the prices you do?" is a question we are sometimes asked. The answer is simple. Tp give premiums with first-class merchandise at the same or a lower price than is asked by the retail merchants who do not give premiums a saving must be made somewhere. The first saving we make is in puchasing. Our purchases are enormous and are made direbt from the producer. In this way we eliminate the profit of the jobber i and wholesaler. The grocer or retail merchant purchases from the wholesaler; the wholesaler purchases from the jobber and the jobber purchases from the producer. The jobber and wholesaler make a profit on their sales and this profit the retail merchant or grocer pays and charges you--the consumer. You may ask, "Why doesn't the grocer or retail merchant purchase from the produc- ?" His purchases are not large enough to interest the producer, in fact, not large enough to entitle him* a close price from the wholesaler. Our purchases are large enough to interest the producer. Our premium purchases alone are large enough to entitle us to the very lowest priced from the manufacturers. When you consider that the jobber and wholesaler prosper on the difference between the price we pay for our goods and the price paid by the grocer or retail merchant you will readily understand why we can give premiums.

There is no certain profit , manufacturing, Jobbing or retailing unless those in the office give comprehensive figures that are correct.

It is not a necessary evil, p,s some business seem to believe, but a vital factor which can make or break the best manufacturing or selling1 organization.
