In the whole West there’s not to be found another such collection of
fancy poultry as that of C. C. Shoemaker, Freeport, Ill. He invites
correspondence or a visit. It is said that Mr. Shoemaker’s business has
trebled itself every year since he began business.

How He Got the Best of Hard Times.
Mrs. Jones wanted an Organ and as Mr. Jones was one of those good
husbands he wanted to please his wife, but in this case with the hard
times staring him in the face he did not see how he could spare the
money. Anyway he thought he would see what he could do with the dealers
and agents in his neighboring town, but after looking over their stock
he found the cheapest Organ he could get would cost him $65.00, and it
didn’t amount to much at that.
This was more than Mr. Jones could afford and he told his wife so.
Although a great disappointment to them both, they decided they would
have to give up the idea.
A few days after this, Mr. Jones in looking over Vick’s Magazine saw the
advertisement of the “Beethoven Piano and Organ Co.,” of Washington, N.
J., stating that they sold a first-class Organ for only $27.50, with
stool and book. He sent for their catalogue which they send free to all
who write.
Mr. Jones now has the organ in his parlor, for which he paid $27.50, and
says it is even better than the agents offered him at $65.00.
He beat the hard times by purchasing direct from the factory, thus saving
the profits of the dealers and agents.
The Company offers the same good bargains on Pianos.
Mildew on Cucumber Vines.
Is there anything that will kill mildew on cucumber vines in a
forcing house without injuring the vines?
