Barber county will be full of life in
surance agents, patent-rlght agents,
lightning rod men, book agents. ped
dlers, and others who have heard of our
coming prOspe 'ty, and these agents
will succeed in carrying thousands of
dollars out of the county. In hard
times, when money is scarce, and many
people must live on credit, the home
dealers are expected to carry" their
customers. In times when people have
money to spend, they should remember
their home merchants, and trade with
them. The foreign merchants pay no
taxes, contribute nothing toward build
ing up local towns or the county, and
they really sell goods no cheaper than
the home people, when freight or ex-
press is paid. 1t is by everybody stand
ing together, and helping one another,
that it Is possible to build up a pros
porous community.
