Mrs, A. j. Hikok and children left

HikOk has been for several months at

In common with every other paper

cles intended to discourage the habit
many people have Of ''sending away"
for goods, and we have also freq uent-
ly been found fault with by some of
our readers for SO doing. In a recent
conversation with a supply house Gus
toner he justified his patronage of
those institutions by the statement
that they were constantly placing
their tempting bargin offers before
him and asking for his business, and
to offset this show Of enterprise the
local dealers usually did but little.

they tell all about the goods we want
to buy. Their prices are there in
black and white and they put up the
best argument they can to make us
believe they sell goods cheaper than
any n else. Possibly we get fooled
sometimes and pay all or more than
the goods would cost us at home. If
the local dealers want our trade WHY
don't they get after it as the supply
houses do, and make some effort to
convince us that we could do better
to %patronize them? If we pick up the
Signal to see what the local dealers
are doing to offset the supply houses

mighty little. If they are selling bet
ter goods than the supply houses, or

keep awful still about it. In fact a
majority OF the business houses have
nothing whatever to say, and unless
we come to town and hunt them up
we wouldn't know they we're in bust
ness at ALL"
When you come down to the facts
OF the matter there is considerable
truth in what our friend said. The
supply houses believe that excepting
everlastingly at it brings success, !"
and their immense business success is
a monument to the power Of persist

They advertise because it pays them
to do SO. and it will just as surely pay

line of business. If you want the
trade of the community don't be

outside fellows d~o-advertise.
