One great reason that people prefer
/ to trade with dealers who advertise
| literally is, that they know that such
dealers nearly always do an open
handed legitimate business and do not
depend upon sharp practices or under
hand schemes for their success. 1t is
a safe rule to generally trade with
those who keep abreast of the times
in the matter of inviting trade by
judicious advertising.

The Democrat this week week pre-
sents fine display of home adver-
Using, which indicates life and activity
among our merchants. Nowhere out
side of the large cities are finer stocks
of goods keep than in Mineral Point
and nowhere are goods sold by retail
Mt lower prices. 1t is right and proper
that the columns of the home paper
should be literally used in keeping
this fact before an interested public.
Milwaukee. Madison and other cities
of Wisconsin have recently formed
societies for the advancement of theil
business interests Mineral Point
ought to have such an organization
, The intentions of our citizens are gooo
enough, if only carried out, Efforts il
the direction of advancing the inter
ests of the city is especially needed
and opportunities of drawing hithe
needed enterprises ought not to b
lost on account of : lack of putting
forth efforts TO secure them.

six pages, or ffty-four long columns

the extra amount of reading matte
which we will be enabled to give il
