Some Of the merchants of this city
fail to appreciate the fact that we are
refusing to accept advertise
ments from the large mail order houses
of the cities. which offer large con-
tracts at splendid prices; but we are
here to assist in upbuilding DEBORAH
and its interests, and refuse to accept |
their offers nearly every week, and
will continue to do so, unless driven to
it by our own dealers. A good many
dollars could be realized in year from
these houses, but we will not use our
columns to distract trade from Deco
rah. Buyers, give your patronage to
home dealers, whose guarantee is as
good as their bond; merchants, let the
people know that you have goods to
sell by advertising. We refused the
other day an offer of s75 worth of adj
vertising for one of these houses.
