prians have now concluded to act on the
advice given them and go home. Mrs.

PROFESSIONAL BEGaARs.--A few
weeks ago, hungry looking gent from
Chicago, calling himself Henry Will

Ing houss of .S. s.. Millar d Co.."
passed among our business men solicit
Ing patronage. He attempted to con-
vince people that they wanted job print
ing, whether they actually needed II or
not. We have seen specimens OF Mill

conclusion that the firm relics upon
country. patronage altogether for Its
maintenahce. No business man In
Chicago will patronize house that at
tempts to palm off such miserable work,

country. By lying our people into tlIe
belief that he could do work much
cheaper and better than they could
have 1t done I'm their own town, he sue

have seen the work and the bills for
the same, and are astonished that any
Chicago house should charge such out

wretched looking jobs. We assure

better work at a lower figure, and de-

The same hungry looking ''cuss' was
In Cedar Falls attempting to palm off
some of their miserable work on our
business men, Offering cards below liv-
ing rates. When first we learned their
price We were convinced that they
were either doing business on the prin-
ciple of the old woman who bought
eggs ut fifteen cents per dozen aud sold
them for ten, or else they were an
irresponsible firm that could not be
patronized ut home. Our latter conclu-
sion we found to be correct. We are
pleased to know that our business men
were sensible enough to not allow them
selves to be gulled by any Chicago
"bummer," but rather preferred to
patronize home Institutions where they
could depend upon the quality of the
work. He undoubtedly found this part
of the State to Improbable for his BUSH
ness to warrant a second trip.
