Governor Folks address to the re

I'VE are proud of our splendid
cities, and we want them to increase
in wealth and population and we also
want our country towns to grow We

What Mail Order Houses Will Not Do

The Mail Order business is the
ises much and guarantees nothing
Like patent medicine the directions
are always on the outside and you
have to buy a non-returnable package
before you can find out what they are.
No Mail Order House helped to
build the little white school house in
your district or turnpike the road just
past your door No Mail Order House
ever took you by the hand when you
were in distress and told you to let
that little account go until after har-
vest next year. No Mail Order House
ever sold you a vehicle and spent
every cent of its profits right in the
community where you and your neigh
bors could get it all back again. No
Mail Order House ever showed its
Patent leather shoes under your
table and rejoiced with you when yoI
were glad, nor spoke encouraging
words of affection, nor stood with un-
covered head beside the graves when
your children died
No, the Mail Order House Is after
money. Every dollar it gets its hands
on will be jerked out of your neigh
borhood forever. The Mail Order
House may bear upon its face the
semblance of friendship, but no hui
man heart beats under it's cloak of
hypocrisy. Sentiment to it is I'M
known. The whole institution is as
cold and bloodless as a corpse
