pick the matter up and try to in

on the subject of patronizing local

side concerns that con Il t
with local trade and thus have
been many dollars out on the deal
besides the space used in discourag-
ing peddlers. In looking over our
books, we find that in nearly ten
years business in Ely the afore-
mentioned merchant has had work
done with the MINER to the amount
of $1.75 and that during all this
time he has been using stationery
without printing or some that has
come with goods. However few
weeks ago an outsider struck
town with envelopes and this mer-
chant ordered two thousand from
the outsider at $500. Had our
representative called on him with
the same class of goods, the
chances are he would continue
using blank envelopes. Of course,
those envelopes with the pictures
on are very pretty affair to send
to the old country and advertis e

water and all that it yields, not to
