for every person within that towns

experience Of farmer near Gen.

advantage of sueh course:
Ten years ago he put an y mark
on a silver dollar and came TO town
and spent it With q merchant.
Four times in six years that dollar
came home to him for country
produce and three other times he
heard Of nthe pockets OF neigh
bors. The last time he got it in
change nearly four years ago he
sent il to Montgomery Ward x Co.,
the Chicago mail order house that
has arnnssed hundred million
dollars by selling third rate goods
for second rate prices. He has
never seen tho marked dollar and
never will till!the crack or doom.
That dollar will never pay any more
school or road tax for him, never
help build up the town or country.
