OUR TRADE EDITION.

Our issue this week is devoted
largely to the trade facilities of our
town. The MIDLAND JOURNAL has
always endeavored to assist the
merchants of Rising Sun and ad
Joining towns in building up a
trade second to none on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland or adjoining
counties and it is always ready to
sound their praises and advance
their interests in whatsoever way
possible. It may be said without
fear of contradiction, we think, that
Rising Sun has as progressive mer
chants and mechanics as any well
equipped business establishments
of any town of even larger size in
this section.
Beautifully situated in the heart
of one of the richest agricultural
sections in the country, with trans
portaticn facilities the best, its mer-
chants have learned the tastes OF
their patrons and have built up
their trade with a single eye to the
satisfaction of the most exacting as
well as the largest or smallest con
sumner.
With such facilities as Rising
Sun business establishments afford
and with such prices as our mer
chants ask for their commodities as
their knowledge of goods and the
art Of buying allow, there is no ex
cuse whatever for expensive trips
to the cities or the patronizing OF
delusive mail rider houses to supply
the demands that our Rising Sun
merchants have every facility for
satisfying. Our grocery stores
supply provisions in season and
frequently delicacies out of the
season, so far as their growth here
is concerned at reasonable prices;
our merchants supply dress goods,
I notions, clothing, and millinery OF
the latest pattern and design, all
can be selected from large and
varied stocks to satisfy the most
fastidious and at prices that moi
only hold the home trade but at
tract from wide radius around
Rising Sun. Our warehouses
handle the products of the farm, al
the best prices consistent with the
market, and supply in alike manner
building materials, fertilizers and
feeds of all kinds for stock and soil.
Our merchants are liberal adver.
tisers. They endeavor to draw
trade t0ethe town by attractive dis
plays and convincing advertise
ments-and the business energy and
push of our business fraternity is
certainly worthy Of the highest
commendation.
We have therefore endeavOred to
emphasize this spirit in our issue
today and we trust that all in.
terested will read what we have to
say of each business firm and man.
The edition was arranged under the
supervision of Mr.. W. A. Whelan,
an experienced writer, who in all
of his descriptions has emphasized
the spirit of enterprise. which
characterizes all our business
people. As he truly says, enter.
prise is the foundation of progress
and development and the source OF
prosperity Ia whatever form it may
appear.
