tween cost prices and the prices asked by
our merchants. But that is not all ; we are
getting from FIVE to eight and more additions
to our number every second Thursday of
each month. We work in harmony, and
have no discards. We mean business, and
the outside world may bluster and blow, it
is all the same to us we have the inside of
the track Some Of our merchants say they
are going to beat us, but if they can we want
them to trot out their prices; talk won't do
it, The merchants said when the oranges
started we could not buy goods of the whole
sale dealers in small or job lots, but we can,
and can buy as low as they do, and we don't
have to pay clerk from % to 70 per cent
for measuring and weighing them out to us,
and we think that is what is pretty about it.
We are most all Denison men and think we
are at work in the right direction. No PO-
land for us, not any,"
