LETTER TO CITIZENS BAKERY
COMPANY,
Clarksburg, w. Va.

Dear Sirs: If you should bake
bread that people like better than
any other, and at less cost by the
day you'd have pretty good business
wouldn't you?
We have just such business as
that In paint, a gallon goes further
than any other gallon of paint in the
country-that's bread at less cost by
the day; but the difference isn't so
small as 1t is in bread. And a Job
wears longer-that's bread at less
cost by the year. People hate to
paint; 1t costs money to paint; and
they hate the fuss They like our
bread by the year.
II your bread is better than any
body else's, and costs less, too, you've
got food trade; for people do like
good bread; and people like money.
1t doesn't take long to find out; give
'em time.
But you can't bake better-than.
y-body-else's bread for half the
usual price for a breakfast, can you ?
Devoe Is just such paint as that
The price by the gallon or loaf is nc
matter. County by the day, week,
month, year. lifetime. Devoe Is the
bread. We hope yours is as good.
Yours truly,

.SVV|SHER men
ARE JUB|LANT
Realize That II is All Over But
the Shouting
Now.

Parkersburg is at present the storm
center of the Republican conflict,
which is rigging furlously and there
is much transpiring that is of great
import and really interesting.
There is Joy in the Swisher camp.
as they claim they have the nominal
tion cinched. They are amused at
the political misinformation that has
been given in a morning paper re-
garding the results OF the various
conventions on Saturday, and say that
these reports are about as reliable as
any that have been given during the
campaign in the organ OF the Scherr
crowd.
The Swisher followers claim that
Swisher got ten delegates in Lewis
county. four in Gilmer county and
they expect big slice of the delegates
in Wayne county, which the Scherr
people have been claiming.
There was a rumor current Sunday
that the primary in Wood county
had been called for the reason that
Swisher had enough delegates to se-l
cure his nomination and that It would
be an useless outlay of money to hold
a primary. but on consideration the
leaders decided to hold the primary IL
the candidates come up with the
amount necessary for the expense,
the Swisherites readily agreeing to
this as they desire to show their OPP
ponents that the scher contingent will
not have look In. One prominent
Swisherite remarked that he would be
willing that the delegates should be
divided between the two candidates.
as Swisher's nomination is assured
without the aid Of Wood county.
There is gloom and unhappiness
around the Scherr camp, largely on
account of those. locally, who are
connected with the Scherr campaign.
While 1t is said to be a fact that r.
l.. Gregory Is prominently Identified
with the local management, the
Scherr leaders did not want it known.
