WHO WAS IT?

Morocco Courier: Who sympathized with you when your little girl was sick? Was it vour home merchant or wns it Sears A Roebuck? Who carried you last winter when you were out of a job and had no money? Was it Montgomrey, Ward A Co., or was it your home merchant? When you want to raise money for the church or for some needy person in town, do you write to the Fair store in Chicago, or do you go to your home merchants? How much does Siegel, Cooper & Co. give towards keeping up the sidewalks in your town, or paying the minister’s salary? When you were sick, how many nights did Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. sit up with you? When your loved one was buried, wasn’t it your home merchant who dropped the tear of sympathy and uttered the cheering word, or was it Marshall Field A Co?
