The Baldridge AGourley grist mill is running till eleven o'clock at night to meet the requirements of customers, and is doing "a land-office business." When the other
two mills begin to run, however,
the trade will be divided up so much that there will be no big money in it. The old saw about "competition being the life of trade" sounds well, but it don't work out
in practice it comes nearer being
"the death of trade." Ask a grocer
or a dry goods dealer if the estab-
ishment of three more stores will
infuse "life" into his trade.
