We read in an exchange of a certain
editor who wrote long and carefully
prepared article on the Importance of
patronizing home Industries, giving
many reasons why farmers and others
should patronize home merchants rath-
er than send off for their goods. The
article was SO good that it attracted the
attention of the merchants and they
highly commended the loyalty of the
editor. One merchant was so favora bly,
impressed with the article that he sat
down and wrote congratulatory letter
to the editor, but to the surprise OF the
pencil pusher, the letter head which
the merchant used had been printed in
St. Louis, and the return on the enve-
lope was made with rubber stamp fur
nished by Chicago axlegrease house.
