JOHN DEERE
:! WAGONS AND TOOLS
Here is a wagon you can DEPEND UPON—year in and
year cut.
For it is built right—built of the material that makers and
users of wagons have found to be the very best—built by work
men who take special pains to maintain iheir reputation as build
ers of the best farm wagons.
It is a good-looking wagon. No frills nor “fancy-fixing*."
But mighty pleasing to the eye. You will be proud of it every
time you drive it through town or past your neighbor’s home.
It is a light-draft wagon—lighter draft than any other wagon
of its capacity. A loaded John Deere Wagon runs lighter than
some other wagons running empty. You will appreciate that fea
ture every time you “load ’er up” and drive away.
It is a long-lived wagon. “Getting there” with heavy loads
doesn’t rack it. It is made to keep on keeping fit for service.
The longer you use it, the better you will like.
The next time you are in town let us show you the Johr
Deere Wagon.
Look it over carefully from neckyoke to end-gate. Don’t miss
a single feature of construction. Try out on it any wagon test
you ever heard of. Read the makers straightforward comprehen
sive guarantee of full quality, appearing on the front endgate of
the wagon. Tell us you want the John Deere Wagon.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all Its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
Talth in the curative power of Hall's
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
