Patronize Home People.

Every dollar that leaves this town or oounty for the mail order business in Chicago and other cities is just so much local money going to enrich a stranger. It is so much local cash added to the fortunes of a man or firm that doesn’t care a copper for you or your town; they never spend a penny here for taxes. They never helped to make the city or maintain it. The merchants at home are prepared to sell goods as cheap as any other dealers in the west, quality and convenience considered. They are helping each member in the community. They have good stocks to select from. They are here to oorrect any mistakes that may oocur. The interests of the merchants and the publio are always identical. Patronize your home dealers.
