BOYCOTT
Our New South &W e. Tenney
Family Flour.

These fours are equal or better than any fours
sold In the District, and sold as low or lower
and are kept by most grocers. II you cannot find
them at the store where you deal, inquire of other
grocers. We are boycotted because of the kind Of
barrels in which we pack our lours. Royco,ting
originated in ireland, where most oppressive
land monopoly exists. 1t was justifable there
and began on Mr.. Boycott. 1t was imported to
this country with the English sparrow and Meth.
er is necessary An article in the New York
Sun, published, we presume by authority reports
that there are half million boycotters in the
United States. Admit this To be correct There
are eleven million yoters-ten and half million
anti boycotters and half million boycotters, or
~ antics to one boycottcr. The know. nothing
party hourished like green bay tree during the
candidacy Of Willard Fillmore and was kill
ed by the anti-know- nothngs on the second
Tuesday after the first Monday ia November
1856, Fillmore receiving only the electoral vote
of one State. The boycott is not trades union
but only an offaboot OF that organization. Some
grocers have been ntimidatcd by this boycott
but we leave it to the art boy cottcrs who are %
to 1, whether they will consult their own and the
general interest By using flour. We request
families, if their grocc.s does not have it, to buy
it of the grocer who docs. All we ask is equal
rights for every American citizen.
