This is the season of the year to do
your share toward keeping trade at home.
Your advertisement should be placed in
the papers so that people can see il, and
they will then know you are still In husi-
ness and have something to sell. 1t is
painful fact that many people go to the
city to deal, but our merchants are large
ly to blame. If they would proclaim to
the people that they have the goods and

ers to their stores. That is the way city
stores get trade, and an effort should be
made by our business men to keep our
dollars at home.
