OUR HARVESTER
Is now so near perfection that any farmer wishing to purchase a ma- chine of its style, if he will but make an examination of it for himself, will readily see its merit. We claim for it over all others, that of strength, durability, and lightness of draft, and its perfect working in all its several parts. We challenge the world to produce even its equal, let alone its superior.
Our Improved Advance.
The ADVANCE is a combined machine in the strictest sense of the word, having two bars of entirely different construction, one perfectly adapted to mowing, and the other to reaping, thus making two distinct machines combined in one, at a cost very little above that of a separate reaping machine.
The Improved Prize Mower
Is a two-wheeled machine with jointed bar, and cuts a swath four feet in width. It cuts equally well on rough or smooth ground, and in thick, matted grass or clover, as well as in thin light stuff. The draft is light, and being made of the best materials, it is very durable.

B. O. DAHLY'S Emporium of Fashion
HOW IT LOOKS TO A STRANGER.
Chief among the commendable enterprises, of which the city boasts, and of which we wish to make especial mention, is B. O. DAHLY'S WHOLESALE AND RETAIL EMPORIUM OF FASHION.
We make particular mention of this establishment for several reasons. First, because it is everything its name implies. Secondly, because it is incomparable in its elegance to any similar house west of the Metropo- litan cities of the East. And thirdly, because it is directed exclusively to the sale and manufacture of Ladies' wearing apparel.
B. O. Dahly's Emporium of Fashion is one of the peculiar features of Decorah. Here we find a truly palatial " Emporium of Fashion," filled with a stock of the richest and most fashionable dress and millinery goods, embracing a bulk and variety that would do credit to the best houses of its kind in Chicago or St. Louis. It is the largest depot of ladies' fashionable goods west of Chicago, and has a trade that is truly wonderful. Only a man of such exquisite taste and indomitable energy as Mr. Dahly could succeed in carrying such a large and rich assort- ment of goods in an interior location, and even he would not venture it in a less wealthy, cultivated and go ahead city than Decorah. But his trade is not confined to Decorah and Winnesheik County. The fame of his establishment has spread throughout all Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota, and the knowledge, that he makes a specialty of manufac- turing ladies' clothing, of all descriptions, in the most complete and fashionable manner, secures for him the custom of ladies of wealth and culture, from a very extensive region. His cloak department is special- ly popular with the ladies of Northern Iowa .- Central West, Milwau- kee, Wis.
