of sending out of town to get your
printing because you can get it cheap
er: Suppose you are a grocer, and
suppose you save 81 90 a thousand on
your letter heads by buying of some
foreign printer. How long does it
take you to use that 1000 letter heads?
A wear probably. Six months at
least. And you have saved" dol
lar i'm six months! May be by getting
all your stationery outside you could
save three or four dollars in 6 months.
But if you had given that amount to
the home printer he might have
brought it all back to you, whereas
the outsider will not bring nickle OF
it back, either to you or to anybody
else in lola. And then consider
whether you are setting the printer a
good example. Would you like to
have him send out of town for some
thing in your line because he could
save q trifling sum? Isn't it safe
rule to follow to leave i'm your town all
the money you can? If the grocer
sent away for his dry-gOOds whenever
he could save a nickle by doing it,
and if the dry-goods man sent away
for his groceries, and if every merchant
sent out of town for everything he
used except what he carried himself,
and if they all sent away for their job
printing, what kind of town would
we have here? Let US get all the
money from the outside that we can
and keen IL here. Let US patronize
each other. That is the way to build
up town.
Parson Peterkin: My SOD, if the
sinners in and around the circus tent
entice thee to day. consent thou not.
Maybe the man with three shells and
one little pea will be there, and he
will bet you q lot of money that you
don't know which shell the pea is
under. You may be very sure that
YOU do know because you saw him
put it there. But you don't; and thefact
that you saw him put it there is the
surest sign that it is somewhere else.
And maybe the man with a lot OF
money in q lot of envelopes will be
there and will offer you chance to
get rich by paying dollar for an en-
velope with so in it. J;ut somehow
the $40 is never i'm the envelope you
think it is. 1 know for l have tried
| it. And maybe the man with the
W heel will be there and will try to
| induce you to make a fortune by
guessing where the wheel is going to
stop. And so on and so on. But
sonny, consent thou not. Your old
uncle has been there and he knows
what he is talking about. These fine,
fluent gentlemen are not philanthropy
lists, my son. They are not hunting
out poor but deserving young men
like yourself and setting them up. IN
business for sweet cbP ity's sake.
They are not out of heal 4 Not by
any means. They are in mat business
| for the money there is in it-tor them.
/ They know their own game, sonny,
better than you do. If they didn't
they wouldn't be playing it. And
thew ALWAYS come out winner in the
end. If they didn't they would hunt
a different occupation. And so, my
son, if they entice thee consent thou
not. You may think you can beat
skin gambler at his own game. Bu'
you can't.
