That the five and ten cent store

by the big deal lately closed for the

he Is even going the an'l 1oc people
one better. yes, several better, as he
intends to tell the public Just what he
has for sale and the prices.
II five and ten cent store can make
enough money In n few years to buy
the best property In Fairmont without

Mr.. etrlck keeps up his advertising an

There Is some excuse for people VINO

whether or not 1t is good policy.
You take for instance light and gas
companies and other public service

into the newspapers. take the public
into their confidence and tell them the
beauties of their service. A number
