The Bulletin would give the impress
sion that any Irishman voting the re-
publican ticket is traitor" to his
friends. We had supposed that it was
only in the "Solio South that a man
was to be ostracised and reviled for
voting the republican ticket. We would
have the Bulletin to know that there
are hundreds of such "traitors' in
Crawford county and that they will be
more OF them this year than ever before
The Bulletin seems to presume that Irish
and democrat are synonymous terms.
They are not. There is no good reason
why any lrishman should vote for Par

A SENSIBLE FURNITURE MAN.

A wide-a-wake furniture dealer in
Howard county town has begun a cam
paign of advertising in which he should
have many imitators. Farmers ad ia
cent to the small town in which the
dealer referred to does business, have
fallen into the catalogue habit. to the
detriment of the local trade. The fur
niture man takes advantage of the col
umns of his local paper to make COM
parsons of value and prices between
his goods and those of the catalogue
houses
prints list of articles in the fur
niture line, including chairs, rockers,
tables, bookcases. beds. couches, etc.,
and in parallel columns places his
| prices on these articles with those Of
popular mail order houses. After add.
ing freight, he shows that his prices
are on the average as low as the prices
of the mail order houses-in some cases
few cents higher and in others few
cents lower, but there is not differ
ence of 81 on any article enumerated.
The furniture dealer at Elma has
struck the proper note to attract the
buyer. Instead of claiming trade on
an abstract principle. he bids for 1T as
a strictly business proposition. There
is no doubt that he can sell in competi
tion with the Chicago store. He knows
it. He is going the right way to gel
trade when he lets others know it. He
has the right idea of sensible cam
paign against outside trade aggression
What is true in furniture is true ir
other lines. 1t is simply question O
putting home prices against those O
the outsider of hammering at the home
trade as the catalogue house hammers
it. Seven sacks of catalogues came in
to one little town in northern Iowa OF
one mail. They went to hundreds o
homes and insisted that the Chicago
house that issued them sold good
cheaper than the home merchant
WHAT'S there left for the local dealer
but to go into the home with the othel
side of the story?
