= According to the st. Louis Republic
<Hone into receivers hands" is o
Mn SO conspicuously displayed as to
make it no longer a novelty around the
Worlds Fair Grounds. The balloon
company, the great Spectatorium, the
Columbian hotels, the Casino within
the grounds, and hundred or more
greater or less enterprises come under
the above list. So far as outside busi-
ness has been concerned the Fair is O
failure and the many thousands of dol.
lars which it was thought the people
would be compelled to spend for SUBJ
sistence and lodgings, as well as the
extortions which it was intended should
be practiced, have failed to materialize.
The people who attend the World's
Fair are not q spending crowd; they
do not come here to spend their money,
and If any of them have put Off buying
articles of clothing, dry goods or the
like until they reached Chicago, they
find that the prices on all goods have
been advanced to meet the times, and
they do not buy. This is right: ii
money ia - bo spent Tor articles it
should be spent with the dealer at
home. especially when such articles
can be boug' as cheap; and I venture
the assertion that in ninety-nine cases
out Of hundred they can be pur.
chased cheaper. The Chicago mer,
chants subscribed literally to the Fair,
aud they want to get their money back
{ and they will do It, too, if people are
/ foolish enough to deal with them.
Patronize home trade and home mer
chants and you will save money. Price
things before you go there. then
compare them, and you will learn thi
