Junco, a New Source Of Hardwood.

Mexico and Texas. this tree, with It's
small crooked trunk bristlIng with

The minute leaves are scale-like.

representative of Its family in the

ly extinct had wide range in past
ages-the big trees of California, for

far as is known. has always lived in
one place and has always been the
same dwarfed, crooked tree that It
now is.
Except as fuel, 1t has not been put
to any use. Thousands of cords
might be cut in the valley of the Rio

late. however. the growing scarcely of
hardwood has called attention to the
despised junco tree as a possible sub
stttute for some Of the more popular
woods. and the result is a surprise to
those who thought the wood had no
comercial value. Clarence A. Miller,
Consul at Matamoras. Mexico. has
called the attention of this govern

Efforts to Deceive

The arduous efforts of some of the
Scherr newspapers to make the i'm
preston that Scherr has enough dele
gates to nominate him for governor
are amusing. In support OF their
contention they produce figures so
juggled and inaccurate that their
falsity is apparent on their face to all
men, who are at all familiar with the
results of the primary elections and
conventions.
Besides, leading men of the state,
such as Ex-Governor White, who
possesses a wide and ripe political
knowledge of West Virginia and who
is not given to Inaccuracies. express
the confidence that Scherr will not be
the nominee at Charleston. On the
other hand they do not hesitate to
predict the nomination of Mr.. Swisher
with a splendid margin to spare.
The real and true figures and these
predictions by men of political ex-
iperience and accurate observation
show how ridiculous are the Scherr
claims.
! 1t is, easy to see the motive they
have in such a course. But week
remains until the nominating conven-
ton, and they hope by these claims
to influence men they know they have
not to vote for scherr in the conven4
ton.
But, they stop not to consider the
fact that the men chosen to nominate
Swisher will remain true to those
who selected them and steadfast in
the faith of tax reform, OF which
Swisher is an earnest exponent.

White for swisber.

In another column of this issue the
Telegram presents Ex-Governor
Whites views on the campaign for
the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation and the certain result at Char
lesion. There Is plain evidence in
the interview that Gov. White, the
father Of tax reform in West Virginia,
favors the nomination of Swisher for
governor and is not inclined to ap-
prove the candidacy OF Mr.. Scherr.
There is good reason for this.
Governor White knows the record
and attitude of both candidates as to
tax reform and other policies of the
Republican party. He approves
Swisher's record and attitude and dis
approves Scherr's. That ought to be
sufficient for all Republicans who are
in sympathy with low and equal tax
alton and other policies of the Re-
publican party in West Virginia.

The CIothlers and Tailors, Outline
Their Business Policy, Make Some
New Years Resolutions, and
Incidentally Do Some
Advertising.

we now enter upon our second year
OF business life in Princeton. The
year just closed has left US it's share
OF prosperity and we are very CRATE
full. But the future seems even
brighter than the past has been, and
we cannot but be optimistic. When
we started in business here one wear
ago we were handicapped in many
ways. We were totally unknown and
were in small store outside the main
retail district. Being new men in this
community we were not in a position
to anticipate the demand of our
customers.
We are glad to say, however, that
these disadvantages have, to a large
extent, been removed and so many
advantages have been gained that we
begin the year of 1908 with far
brighter prospects than we're ours one
year since. Our present location is
unexcelled. Our store is large and
convenient and has frontage on two
OF the main streets in town. Our
stock has been trebled and we are GET
ting acquainted with our customers.
We are now directly connected with
one of the largest if not the largest)
retail clothing establishments in the
twin cities and we buy our goods from
the same eastern manufacturers that
they do. In buying with them we get
the benefit of their larger purchasing
power, and thus secure lower prices
than a comparatively small retailer
can generally obtain. This enables us
to sell CORRESPONDENCE cheaper, and
on the basis of this fact we solicit
your trade.
And in our tailoring department the
same state of affairs exist. We buy
our woolens directly from the manu-
facturer and save jobbers' profits.
We use nothing but the best material
to be had and employ workmen that
are up-to-date and who thoroughly
understand every detail of the bust
ness.
When you get suit made here it
looks right, fits right, is right. We
guarantee it so.
We think it not amiss to speak at
this time of our business policy in the
past, for the same may safely be
accepted as an earnest of our deal
ings in the future.
We believe thoroughly in having
one price for all. We maintain that a
merchant cannot be fair to his Gus
toners unless he quotes the same
price to every man for the same
article.
Please note the following instance
and remember it is common occur
renee and not an exceptional case:
Mr.. A. enters our store, finds some
thing that suits him, asks the price,
planks down his money, takes his
package and walks out. No ques-
tiOns asked and no fault found.
Mr.. B. comes in and desires one of
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-01-09

the same articles that Mr.. A. pur-
chased. When We tell shim the price
he thinks, or pretends to think, it too
high, and if he has plenty of time he
will proceed to argue for a lower
figure. If we allow a lower price we
have not been fair to Mr.. A. He has
paid more for the same article than
Mr.. B merely because he took our
word about the value and didn't stop.
to argue the case. Therefore in our
store we have only one price, the same
to all, and as low as we can afford to
take. We don't vary from it, but
everybody gets a square deal.
Then when we wish to clear out our
stock to make room for new we cut
prices good and deep, but even then
everyone gets the same reduction.
But sometimes we offer a cash prize
to the one who gets us the most bust
ness during certain week or month.
A great many people have asked us
how we can afford to do it, so we'll
tell you all at the same time. It's no
secret. Suppose we make ten cents
on certain article, and sell, in the
general course of business, ten such
articles week. That gives us S1.OO
to the good. Now, if by advertising
cash prize of $500 we succeed in SELL
ing one hundred of those articles in
the same length of time, who comes
out ahead? Why, the fellow who wins
prize and Kopp & Bartholomew, of
course. And who loses by the trans
action? No one that we know of.
That's easy, isn't it? We believe in
making quick sales and small profits.
Therefore the more we sell the less we
are obliged to make on each article to
make living. So we mark our
goods to sell, mark them as low as
possible and in plain figures so you
can see just what the price really is.
Heretofore we have not had as
good an assortment in prices as we
should have had and those desiring
a cheaper grade of clothing could not
find what they wanted at our store.
We beg to state, however, that as far
as possible, this objection has been
eliminated and in the future we will
do our best to have full line of all
priced goods. Nevertheless we will
not carry shoddy clothing under any
circumstances. One can make money
on it, but not a desirable reputation.
Let us take this opportunity also, of
saying that we are firm believers in
advertising and attribute our good
success partly to the liberal use of
printers ink. When we get anything
new, you are sure to know about it
if you read our ads in the local paper.
In closing, we take occasion to say
that we are in Princeton to stay and
are not here to misrepresent things to
our trade. We had much rather not
sell you at all than to sell you and
have you dissatisfied. So when we
tell you garment is thus and so,
you may depend upon it that, to our
best knowledge and belief, it is just as
represented. Of course in spite of all
our care mistakes will happen, but in
that case we stand ready to make it
right by reminding your money.
And so, during the year just ahead,
and as long as we remain in business,
it will be our constant endeavor to
please our customers, to give them
extra good values, to treat all alike,
to do business on the square, and by
so doing to deserve your patronage.
Yours respectfully,
| Kopp & Bartholomew.

So far this has been a phenomenally
mild winter. There has been no cold
weather to speak of and only a very
light fall of snow-not enough to
make sleighing. But there is great
deal of sickQess, and quite a number
of pneumonia cases are reported by
the local physicians. Many people
are longing for a good old-fashioned
winter.
