We are informed that there are
agents for eastern grocery houses in
the county going from house to
house soliciting orders for groceries

parties offer you sugar away down
below cost, but you have to buy so
much other stuff or you don't get
the sugar. Now, we want to caution
the people to beware of these cum
ming agents or they will make you
believe that the moon is made of
green cheese, and above all you had
better let them drift on for they are
not out for their health. You don't
get anything from them that you do
not get from your home grocer. II
you have any money you don't need
put it in the bank or possibly you
owe little store bill that you ought
to pay, for when you want credit il
is to the home merchant you go and
not to the peddler. People should
remember these things and for the
lands sake pass up the peddler.
