It will be to the interest of every farmer in this section of the country to read this article Solicitors are working through the country with cooking ranges and will try to sen you one Don't buy of them. - The Republican says “Don’t” because it knows that you can save money by buying from any one of the three hardware dealers in Rensselaer. You can save money if you buy of the hardware dealers in Remington, Francesville, Medaryville, Wheatfield, Mt. Ayr, Brook, MeCoysburg or any of the tpwns adjacent to your home. These travelers are at an expense far greater than the local merchant. They could not nearly meet the local merchant in competition. They do not pretend to meet him. They will ask you $73 cash for a range and will offer to sell it to you for $79 on time provided you can give a good note. The local dealers will sell you a stove which is better and sell it to you for SSB or S6O cash. E. D. Rhoades & Son sell the Malleable. Warner Bros, sell the Majestic and Cole’s Hot Blast C. W. Eger sells the Faultless Malleable

The prices of these stoves is SSB and S6O and they are superior to the ones there strangers are offering you for $73. In addition they have the guarantee of responsible local dealers who will treat you right.

Don’t buy from these travelers, but trade with the home merchants and thus contribute to the upbuilding of your own community as well as saving from sl3 to sls and getting superior ranges.
