Fish, d. E. Reed and j. J. Marsh greet
our readers this week. We personally
guarantee each and every one of our
local advertisers to be responsible and
deserving of your trade. Read what
they have to say.
The man who earns his cash in
town and buys his goods, clothing and
provisions elsewhere is an absorbed
heap of selfishness and traitor to his
fellow citizens. The official who lives
and thrives on the taxes of his
neighborsy purchases his household
necessities elsewhere ought to be
bounced without notice. Anyone who
prospers at the community's expense is
bound by all laws of common interest
to promote to the utmost of his ability
the best interests of those by whom he
prospers. Business men are the soul and
life oftheir town. Injure their trade
and you strike every citizen. Garry
your money elsewhere and you do what
you can to ruin your town. The only
exception to this latter protection is the
merchant who ignores the local news
paper constantly battling for his in
terests.
