There is no need to send away to
get what you want in the way OF
merchandise and supplies. Patron
ize your home dealers. The mer-
chants of Henderson carry as good
lines as you will find in larger towns
and sell at as close figures, or closer.
Every dollar sent away is lost to
your community. Do not lose an
opportunity to help home people be-
cause they are the ones who help
you.

modating he is the right man in the

pleasure to his friends and those
having business dealings with that
office.
