N. A. Beales, Deming Mercantile
Company "Our business is increasing
and we have no complaint to make. All
we ask is to have business continue as
good as it has been in the last two
months. We carry a $4,000 stock of gro
ceries, hardware hay, grain and feed
and supply great many people in
Cooks Peak, Gage Separ and ranches
from here to the line. The stock ship
ments from here We're not so large this
year as usual. If they had been, we
could easily figure on 50 per cent in
crease of business. We feel that it
would benefit all merchants and ranch
men to have county division.
N. A. Bolich, boots. shoes, gents fur
nishings: Business conditions are
good. About the same as last year but
some increase

boots per day and his market extends
from New Mexico over Arizona, Texas,
Colorado, California and even Florida.
The boots are specially adapted for rid
ers. Mr. Bolich has the only distinct
cowboy boot manufactory in the Uyit-
ed States. While the Rough Riders
were being recruited he presented every
Deming volunteer with a pair of boots
and Cancelled their Indebtedness at his
store. That's patriotism for you.

fairly good, but the holiday trade has
not opened yet. We will have a rush

lain What we need most in Deming is
county division and you can tell the Re-
publicans if they want to hold us DEM
ing Republicans in the ranks. they must
give it to us. Grant county is larger
than the state of Massachusetts and
people are now obliged to travel more
than 100 miles across the country,
through sections where there are no
public conveyances to get to the county
seat
