The local merchants are nowadays
preaching the policy of patronizing
home stores and industries, and that Of
course is all right and as it should be.
We believe in home trade and con-
sumption as far as possible, and right
here let us say a good word for much
talked of and oftentimes, much eabuSed
affair, viz: the local mutual fire insur-
ance company. We believe that i is
good thing and has come to stay. but,
remember, that no institution cdn sur
vive long without patronage. Not
that the Pleasant Prairie Mutual Fire
Insurance company is not sound
company-fa from it; but every mem
Der makes it that much the stronger
and so lessons the assessments when
they come. Said company is in pros
porous and growing condition and the
way to keep it SO is to continue the
good work. If you are member, talk,
work and induce all you can to join; ii
you are not member join as soon as
you are able to get out the necessary
papers. 1t is a good thing push it
along.
