THE GRAND
HUTCHINSON, KANSAS.
The Reno County H. A. and J. u.
Mercantile Establishment, with fol-
lowing departments
Dry Goods, Clothing, Hats,
Furnishing Goods, Boots, Shoes,
Notions, Millinery and Carpets,

10 is with much satisfaction that we
call the attention Of the alliance in
general and that body Of Reno county
IN particular 10 an arrangement which
has been entered into between the
Reno county II. A. and /. U. and J. d.
Wiener, manager OF above establish
ment, whereby he will furnish the
different lines Of goods above enumer-
ated TO all members and their families
at a per cent. profit agreed upon by
contract This agreement was en-
tered into temporarily by Bro. s. A.
Willoughby contracting agent for
Reno county during the month of
January and was UNANIMOUSLY ap-
proved OF, ratified and accepted at
the regular quarterly county meeting
held in the Grand hall, Hutchinson,
April 8 and 10, thus showing how en-
tiTely satisfactory and beneficial this
arrangement had proven to all the
members OF the organization at large.
The business operated by Mr.. Weiner
il one among the principal il not the
largest in the state In receiving
recognition from such a source the
Il. A. and ]. u. are assured OF in
valuable benefits in the purchase OF
such commodities as are handled by
this establishment
Approaching the friendly feeling
Of This gentleman towards our Or
ganization, we not alone hope, but
earnestly advise every alliance mem
Der within the reach OF that territory
TO give this undertaking their united
and energetic support.
Authority which is beyond refute
has shown Conclusively that the diff
erence in the cost of all merchandise
such as is handled by Mr.. Wiener as
compared with the prices paid by Che
farmers heretofore through the or
binary channels OF trade, are fully
from 15 TO 30 per cent in favor Of the
alliance members We have no doubt
that, as in most cases Of like nature,
when men Of good, common sense,
men who appreciate the present con-
dition Of the farmer and laborer and
come forward to cooperate with them,
become the prey and object OF attack
of outside influence brought on by
determination TO undermine and
break them up. In order TO build
up protection against such attacks
and sOhdify arrangements OF such a
beneficiary nature it is absolutely
necessary fer every man and woman,
every son and daughter having the
interest of the alliance movement at
heart, not to be led from the pursuance
OF duty which the first principles OF
self protection dictates, that is to
stand up for and by those who join
hands with them. Schemes OF every
nature are brought into play, tending
TO break up men wko have the moral
courage to acknowledge the needs of
the times and who by initiating the
modern course Of cooperative trading,
assist the farmers and laborers in the
retrenchment OF their burden OF ex-
pense. Support such men and such
establishments as you have agreed.
Encourage every endeavor of these
men, made to conform with your just
demands and needs, and suppress and
reject all attempts and Vaccinations
Of outside influence TO break up an
institution so concurrent with our q
principles. Mr.. Wiener will from
time to time use these columns for
the purpose Of expOunding the theVr-
les, ways and means Of operating meF-
camille establishments. Our readers
