TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize the Mer-
chants of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti.
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: If merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
Kim the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and eXerts every effort to
build and better your market thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or in any
way hold the value of your property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: If your town Is good
enough to live in it is good enough to
spend money in.-Gov. Folk of Mis-
souri,.
Because: The best citizens in your
community patronize home industry.
Why not be one of the best citizens?
Because: If you give your home
merchant an opportunity to compete,
by bringing your order to him in the
quantities you buy out of town, he will
demonstrate that, quality considered,
he will save you money.

Search for Old Cannon,

A tradition still survives in Luzerne
county, Pa, that when Gen John
Sullivan marched through that region
in 1879 on his expedition against the
Indian confederacy of central New
York, he buried some superhuous
brass cannon along the Wilkes-Barre
mountain. TO search for these revolu-
tionary relics a number of the best
known citizens of Ashley have formed
themselves into an historical society.
One recent Sunday the members
secured the mountain in the vicinity
of Laurel Run, but could find no relics
except few Indian arrow Ioints.

"A I2-page paper this week, l see.
Anything special doing?"
Not at all. That's to be the regular
size of the Record in the future. The
increase in business warrants it. The
campaign of advertising being conduct
ed by the merchants forced me to in
crease the size or encroach upon my
reading matter columns, and so l in
creased. Then, too, my subscription
list is growing. People who never took
the paper before say they want it now
if for nothing more than to keep post

quoting. Business in the Record office
is booming all around. | have had to
