stronger they offered to pay the rail-
road fare of every one who purchased
$40 worth of goods. To make the
scheme work smoothly and to avoid
any loss of time in their stores while
handling and waiting on the large
number OF customers that would come.
they established clearing house Of
flee, equipped it with clerks, type
writer's and other parphernalia which
goes to make up first class Office.
When the customers purchased
$40 worth of goods from a merchant,
he would give him an order for the re-
turn Of his railroad fare, which he
would present at the clearance house
office and get his money back.
These great boosters were to be rung
in every 80 days and the city was to
roll in luxury and prosperity from the
money of these outsiders. But, 10 and
behold, I am told that not even one
person had come to the city that pur-
chased enough to have his railroad fare
returned. know what 1 am talking
about for had ADVERTISING in both
papers to the amount OF $12. When

men to come out and make a public

These business men found to their
sorrow and loss that people will not go
to dry towns to do their trading.
To show you how wise people will
get out of dry towns and land in the
:%etest towns. will mention to you the
name OF Rev. Losu whoC up until this
town went dry. was one of the most in
fluential preachers we had here and
workedsthe hardest OF any person In

the stgeets-and cutters to tell the peo-

some very radical and i am afraid,
untrue. statements. The following is
one Of them:
"The citizens OF East Liverpool are
spending $75O.OOO over the bars of East
Liverpool saloons every year. Vote the
saloons out, and that money will go
into other channels Of trade"
Now, anybody that is familiar with
the trade knows that is an untruth out
of the whole cloth. You will say he
is now enjoying the fruits of his labor.
