Who Makes Your Clothes?

In Minneapolis they ask this ques-
tion of the swell dressers and the
answer usually is "H larry Mitchell i"
1t may be fad-and it may last for
years: nobody knows-but it is the
most remarkable thing in mems
clothes-how Harry Mitchsll has be-
come popular and yet it isn't strange
either. It's the price. first; and the
style and quality that he puts into
clothes that make men buy-not one
suit only, but suit after suit and every
now and then an overcoat or dress
suit. Harry Mitchell's prices are $50
to s4o:- you pay some tailors twice
as much.
1t was clever stroke of business
on the part of Schneider & Nelson to
get the exclusive agency for Harry
Mitchell's tailoring in this town. They
have magnificent collection of over
300 samples beautifully bound into a
big book, with fashion plates that are
works of art. If you want to get a
suit from Harry Mitchell, you select
the cloth from this book at Schneider
& Nelson's. Your measure is taken
and you get made-to measure suit
for less money than you would expect
to nav.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Sept II 1909.
Rev. Judson Oldfeld
Mllbank. 5. ID.
Dear Sir: - You will find enclosed
our trea surer' ; receipt for $4,000 sent
III few days ago. Were we not in
such great need Of the money, would
be tempted to have the draft framed
and hung in a conspicuous place as a
testimonial to the ever thoughtful con-
sideration OF the Milbank people for
the welfare Of the Childrens Home.
MllDank never fOrgetS to do the right
thing for US. [ am SO appreciative of
your kindness. that the fact that was
not present to witness the game rather
grieves me. Being somewhat of a
fan myself. | should like to witness
the return game if there is one. which.
IN order to do justice to all, ought to
be played out in favor of the business
men. 1t is somewhat surprising to me
that the team composed Of prof
essional men clergymen especially |
were able to throw aside their Dig
nifty long enough to slide over the
home plate Oftener than theeven active
and alert business men. 1t proves my
estimate Of the Milbank people, that
when they start to do things YOU can
count on something being accomplish
ed. Even the professional men will
not suffer weighty dignity to work
as handicap when there is some
thing to be achieved
Were | a Milbank business man no
stone would be left unturned to ac-
compllsh the defeat of my profession
al frienas. I do not wish to encourage
a rivelry which may terminate in
animosity: but since the cause for
which the first game was played is
such worthy one, and the sum Sc
cured so very accepta bic / should like
to lend every encouragement of a re-
turn game in which the defeated ones
may be the winners. Kindly convey
our heartiest thanks and apprecia-
tlOns to those instrumental in secur-
ing this very helpful aid to our work.
We have now on hand thirty two
children, mostly boys. Some of these
boys are anxious to become prof.
cient as business men or farmers.
Applications from Grant County al
ways receive our most careful con-
sideration.
Yours truly

The II ONE Merchant.

The various merchants of
Milbank are starting up their
fail advertising in this issue of
the Herald.
1t is hardly necessary to draw
the attention of the people in
this vicinity to the importance
of their patronizing Milbank 5
business institutions. Thel e
are many reasons why you
should.
First; You see the goods be-
lore you pay for them;
Second: You know who YOU
are dealing with, and in case of
error can make an immediate
change OF wares or goods;
Third: And the most i'm
portant, is the fact that the
dollar expended at home grows
and helps build up the city; as
the merchant and business men
prosper, The city prospers. If
a public Improvement is wanted
besides paying heavy taxes, the
business men donate generously
to the various enterprises start
ed for the benefit of the city in
general. They help build the
churches and schools.
The money they send away is
to the wholesale house for goods
purchased-the profit remains
at home and a share of it used in
one way Or another which IN the
end helps the city.
Give the home merchant a
chance. There may be a diff
ference of = few cents in their
prices when compared with
some outside con Germ, but don t
forget the many advantages of
the home trading, All should
work with one end in view, the
upbuilding of the community.
In union there is strength.
Spend as mnch money at home
as you can. The returns will be
three fold. Don t knock-boost.
Ii you can't boost, keep still.

Society noted in his work Of ex-
cavation and reclaiming of an.
cient Egyptian cities discovered
documents which have proved
beyond doubt that it is solely
of Jewish origin and that the
success of the Jews against the
Egyptians in the battles follow
ing their famous exodus was due
to their knowledge aud use of
the Jiu Jitsu or Yiddish Twist as
it is known. This knowledge has
been handed down among the
Jews to this day and in 'The Old
Clothes Man" presented by Gil
