SHALL WE KEEP PACE WITH
PROGRESS OF EASTERN
COLORADO?

Business for the most part has
changed to more radical basis.
There are more optimists among
investors as people have become
better educated along business
lines. Those who, few years
ago, decried the value of prairie
land for agriculture purposes
must now admit that it ranks
first in the United States. Land
values in Colorado have not de-
creased because the demand each
year becomes greater and sci
ence and experience devise some
new means for increasing the
soils productiveness.
And to keep pace with the de-
velopments in Eastern Colorado
Holly must exert herself to keep
in the front ranks. Vigilance
must not relax for an instant.
Citizens must arouse themselves
to the need Of concerted action,
NOW, and victory is bound to
come. Another town election is
soon to be held. The thing to
determine is who are the men
who. are 3pd who will continue
to give ths best service to Holly.
The question will stand investi-

Hunting A Round Square.

There is a new devil in The
Chieftain Office. AS is generally
known, the first day in a print
shop is the kids initiation, and
last Tuesday The New One was
dispatched first to Dick Appel
for round square, which the lat
ter refused to sell. but who in
turn sent him to Blacksmith
Jones, and from one to another
until the lad was well nigh ex-
hausted. By the time this little
item appears in print the New
One will realize what rare OBJ
ject a round square really is.

was positive there was a "fat
take" on the hook ready to be
served to his order, while the re-
doubtable Joe Lawless looked
wise and said nawthin'. Land
Office Liggett said he had
hunch, and had worn a rabbits
foot sufficiently long to capture
the prize, and was confident that

JUST A WORD
WITH YOU

Most merchants have either
completed their invoicing or the
same is in progress. 1t is the sea-
son of the year when the conser-
vative and critical buying public
expect discount sales. Some are
now in progress, as is evidenced
by the various invitations and an
nouncements which are now be-
ing made. Many thousands of
dollars worth of merchandise will
in this way be turned into cash.
Are the Holly merchants using
every effort to keep the trade that
legitimately belongs to them as
well as attracting new business,
or are they letting it get away
from them? This is a question
which they are best prepared to
answer
This is the season of the year
when it pays to watch the ads,
and it is also the season when it
pays the merchant to advertise.
Those who want business most
are those who 60 after it the
hardest
,ut-of-town merchants realize
the importance and value of Hol-
ly trade and are using every eff
fort to get it. Scarcely week
passes but what our homes are
deluged with bills and announce
ments inviting business. Prices
are given and other attractive i'll
ducements are offered. Even in
some cases the columns of this
paper are used. And right here
let it be distinctly understood
that The Holly Chieftain under
its present management has new
er sought out-of-town adyertis-
ing. and what advertising Of this,
nature has appeared has been be-
cause Of the insistence of the par
ties wishing it.
The buying public, and in many
cases that means the gentler sex,
are close observers of prices.
They read those parts of both
town and city papers most close
ly which most interest them. One
of those parts is the advertise
ments. Even if they are not pre-
pared at the time to purchase,
they have received ideas which
are not forgotten. And when
they are ready to buy their
thoughts naturally turn first to
the stores from which they re-
ceived their ideas. Their minds
are made up and although they
may visit other stores, and find
something equally good in all re-
spects, yet not being what they
had in their minds set on, they
are not quite pleased. However,
if they are loyal to their own
town or some particular dealer
they make a purchase, but they
never quite get over feeling that
in some way they have been mis-
treated.
The advertising columns of this
paper are its stock in trade, the
same as groceries, dry goods and
hardware are to the respective
merchants, and it cannot reason
ably discriminate in its patrons.
However, it believes that the
