Anything you want, write the Agency,
at Hillsboro, N. c., for it.
Why not p%atronize the Agency for
everything you want to buy or sell2
The Agency is yours. It belongs to
you. 1t is only by patronizing it that
you can make it of any service to you.
Whether it is generally believed or not,
it is a powerful medium for bringing
down the price of what we have to buy,
and could be made of much value in
selling our products. But unless it is
fully and strongly patronized it will be-
come useless. 1t is more useful to you
than your pillow, your wagon, your
hoes, or any other of your implements.
Suppose you lay your plows nicely
away under the shelter and quit using
them, what will become of the farm2
Treat your hoes, your wagon, Or any
other useful implement in the same
way and your prospects are injured.
Now you have no implement as use
full as the Agency. Lay it away under
the shelter and you injure your pros
poets. Patronize, oil it, paint it, use
it, preserve it and you have a most
potent factor at easy and ready com
mand. T. IvEY.
