The merchant who refuses to adyer-
tise, and doesn't let people know he is
after his share of their business, will
never put the catalogue houses to
route. The catalogue fellows are busy
right now spreading their literature
and driving nails in the coffin of the
merchant who is Indifferent to the
merits of judicious advertising, or
hasn't the nerve to invest little
money in newspaper space. The big
catalogue houses have built up their
enormous trade wholly through ad-
vertising, and the only way the coun-
try merchant can successfully fight
them is with their own weapons.
Last week the readers of this paper
received copies of the New York
IrGbune-F Farmer which is offered
with this paper to all subscribers who
pay up arrearagss and one year in
advance at the regular subscription
price of THE REPUBLICAN, $1.25.
The offer and our endeayors to inter
est our farmer friends is already
bearing fruit. Tuesday mornings
mail brought the names of three new

a year in advance and arrearages.
This offer to club with the Farmer
holds good until an announcement of
its withdrawal is made in these COL
umns.
