The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-03-15

Among the most brilliant adverti
sers we know is Mr.. Tom Harrison,
of Milan. Every weeks issue of the
Milan Exchange contains some stri-
king locals from his pen about his
business. lie gets at his customers
wittily and yet with solid facts. In
other words he puts facts, figures and
valuable points about his business in
the irresisti ole guise Of quaint humor
and unique forms of expression.
There are many business men who
might probably pattern after Tom
Harrison of Milan Jackson Irib-
une and Sun.
1t seems that Mr. Harrison is Great
ing sensation all over the state, az
well as here at home, and We agree
with the Tribune and Sun that many
olher business men might pro6tably
follow his lead. jackson has some
live merchants who ought to take the
hint. His locals are as eagerly sought
for by Milan readers as any news mat
ter we can get up.

The Jackson Wing is vigorously
working for dog law, and its argu-
ments are sound and sensible. 1t pro-
poses not to tax dogs, but to make
them responsible for all damage they
may do to sheep or other property,
and gives any one the privilege of
killing them when caught away from
home without their owner. We
hope to see some such law enacted
by the next legislature. West Ten
nessee can be made most prolific

troled.
