of crops has been realized for some

There are business men in Brook
ings county who have been serving you
for years. There are men in trade
here of whom you would buy an article
on their shelves solely upon their state
ment as to its quality and worth. These
men are interested with you in Brook
ings county and in keeping our home
markets good o1es for the farmer who
wants to sell. The big catalogue
houses are not looking out for your
interests or TO. your county, they want
every dollar they can get from you.
Before sending your order away step
in and let the home merchant give
you his prices and show you his goods.
There are many people who think it
is conon to advertise a lost or
stolen animal by the lead pencil sheet
of writing paper and postoffice method.
In orde' to save a few cents by. not
using he columns OF the newspaper
they Prove themselves pennywise and
pound foolish. Merchants use the
newspaper because of the fact it
reacles the people, while a little dinky
notice stuck up in the postofice or
on some street corner practically re-
ceyes no attention. If you have any
ting to advertise place the advertise
rent in the Register where the people
re in the habit of looking for them.
