One Of our patriotic farmers who has
been building up "foreign industry" by
sending to Montgomery Ward & Co. for
his supplies called at Johnson's Furni-
ture store rec ntly to price some goods.
Nothing could be shown him but what
would bring the remark, 81 can do
better" Finally Mr.. johnson produced
Montgomery Wards catalogue, to show
the customer his mistake. He immed.
lately became interested and pointed
out a Couch, Cheffonier, Chamber Suit,
Dining Table, Chairs, Rockers, 3 Iron
Beds, a set of Dishes, 3 Carpets, .
Lamps and a Sewing Machine, all of
which the customer and his wife had
already selected at home, and We're
about to send the money to Chicago for
the goods. Mr.. johnson showed the
gentleman that he had many of the
same identical goods in his store, that
the claims of Montgomery Ward & Co.
were false, that his prices were Lower
after considering the freight charges by
from 5 to 300. Mr.. johnson made the
sale and convinced that customer that
he has been following the wrong policy.
MI. Johnson says that there is not a
single article In his line, shown in their
catalogue, hat he would not be glad to
supply at from 5 Il 2O96 under their
prices.

impossible to believe, but nevertheless one

immediately ordered the house closed, and
gave the tenants three days in which to
