Gently passed is beneftting disabled

respect-that Of receiving fair re-
enumeration the balance of his days

"A number of merchants have
lately expressed the fear that the
rural mail routes leading out from
town may prove detrimental to
home business interests and work
in favor of the catalogue houses.
Exactly the contrary should be the
result. The home business man can
get the list of patrons of rur, routes
at the postofice, because a new
ruling requires the lists to be posted.
The catalogue house can only get
these lists by sending man here to
copy them. The merchant who
advertises among these patrons that
they can send in one day and get
what they want the next day will
get their trade. Properly used, the
rural mail route can be made one of
the best of things for building up
the trade of home merchants.
