In the world is easy for some men-hard for others. It all depends on the way you take advantage of little opportunities as they arise. For instance if you buy lumber and wire fencing without first getting our prices, then find out afterwards we could have given you a better deal. You lost an oppurtunity to get ahead. Catch on? No matter when, where or what's wanted in the way of lumber material or wire fencing we say it is to your decided advantage to buy here.

Why? Simply because we have one of the largest and best assorted stocks in this county and our prices are made to meet the popular demand- that is fair prices for honest material. Can we help YOU get ahead? EDGERTON LUMBER CO. Anna Dwyer is employed as 8n apprentice on the News force. D. M.
