A.W. Bowman

Proprietor of the "Old Reliable" farm machinery, carriage and harness store, has conducted his business continuously for eighteen years in this city, and has become so familiar with every detail of the same, as well as the wants of his customers, that he needs no recommendation. His purpose has always been to deal in such goods and treat his customers in such manner as to merit approval, and he is now prepared to offer his patrons in this vicinity the most complete line of goods, in their season, and at the most reasonable prices, it has ever been their privilege to select from. Among his specialties is the "Woman's Friend Polar Creamery," of which one hundred are in use by the farmers in this vicinity, with results universally appreciated and approved.

The harness department, presided over by Samuel Shirk, of fifty years' experience, is an important branch of his business and special attention is given to making the latest styles of harness from strictly good stock, and repairing.

Studebaker wagons, carriages, buggies, robes, blankets, whips, etc., in great variety to select from

Every kind of farm implement needed, as well as various styles of pumps, wind engines, pipe tanks, threshers and engines, corn huskers and fodder shredders, and innumerable articles indispensable to the progressive farmer may be found at this well stocked and up-to-date establishment. It may truthfully be said of Mr. Bowman that he is the farmer's friend, as his stock affords them all they need in the line of farm machinery and at prices exceptionally low.
