Said one our merchants to The
Review: II wish you would try
and impress Il upon the people OF
the city that they should be loyal
To their own interests aud patronize
the home institutions. This will
be nothing more than fair. ST.
Johns people can buy anything they
want at home at the same price
they pay for il in Portland, besides
they can save their car fare. Let
the people consult the advertise
ments OF the various home firms
and they will he convinced. The
merchants are here to assist in
building up the city, and they
should be encouraged. Let pros
pective buyers ascertain the prices
at home before they transfer their
patronage. II the home merchants
cannot satisfy their customers none
OF them will have a chance to COM
plain. But give them a chance"
