ARE YOU SURE YOU OWE IT ?
You have had bills presented that you thought you
had paid, or for goods you know you had never
bought. Nobody but a Bill Collector realizes the
number of disputed bills there are the first of the
month. Of course, it’s somebody’s mistake. Goods
are often charged to the wrong customers; the mer
chant failed to credit your account when you paid
him. No matter what the reason, you don’t like to
have these things occur. Just try the Cash Plan in
the future and avoid all the objectionable features of
the credit business.
You pay a big interest for all che * ‘accommoda
tions” you get at the credit stores. Even when you
pay cash at a store doing a credit business, you
have to pay Credit Prices. The merchant charges
the losses from “bad accounts’’ to his cash cus
tomers by doubling his profits. That’s the only way
he can keep even. It^pays to pay Cash.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work"alone.
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
j 270,000 acres of land belonging
j to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
i large size and fine variety; Wheat
| yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
j the acre with an average weight
| of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
j crops of alfalfa are raised each
j season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for unind

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the found*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfc
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fracti
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pri
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal.
Kimball is Prominent.
' One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An -- i
1 imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot slngr correctly it s worse because all do not I
■ claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costa moTe money to perfect a piano |
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the 1
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output I
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered |
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all. i |
