can buy in small quantities. Consequently they can sell land at a lower price than a person would be compelled to pay where he bought of a person who only has small tract for sale.
 This firm can offer the people great inducements to buy land from them, as they cannot only sell cheaper, but they can sell any sized tracts to suit the pur- chaser, especially large tracts of timber lands, which is great advantage when buying as it is often hard to find the size tract you want.
 We wish to state to the people who live at a distance that if you want to locate in country where the land is still cheap, that you cannot find better field for in vestment than here and there is no firm in Southwest Arkansas that can come nearer showing you what you want than MesSrs. Moore & Martin. These gentle men are too well known to the people of Nevada County to need any introduction, but we wish to state to the people living at a distance that when you transact business with this firm you are dealing with men who are in ev- cry way reliable and responsible.

 They are putting in a ware house near their plant and will carry large stock of feed and grain. They handle poultry in quantities, and will pay the high, est price per pound, for all the chickens, turkeys, etc, brought to them. Be sure to call on them before you sell your poul- try.

who are in distress. In fact we coulc go on and enumerate a hundred differ. ent reasons why you should patronize home merchants, instead of sending tc these catalogue houses.
 Any one of these reasons should be sufficient to cause the well-meanine citizens to trade at home, to say nothing of the fact that with the money Tn hand the merchants of Prescott will sell you as cheap, if not cheaper, than they can be bought elsewhere.
 Ii you will but take the time and trouble to compare and investigate. you will find that almost in every case you can save money by trading at home. When you send the cash to the mail order house, you are sending 1t without seeing the article you wish to purchase. A person cannot gam correct idea how an article will look by looking at the picture.
 Suppose our local merchants would show you the picture of the article you wished to purchase. collect the cash and tell you that you can get it at the express office in about two weeks. What answer would you give him? Nine chances out ot ten you would re- fuse to pay him in advance and would request him to show you the article

City Market
 and Bakery
Does a Large Business. Have a Modern Equipment.

There is perhaps no other bus mess concern in Prescott that will come nearer comparing with city like concerns than will the City Market and Bakery.
 In the meat market the custo. mers of this place receive just as good meat as can be procur- ed in the larger cities. You will not find many more up. to- date establishments than this one. All of the modern known equip ments are installed necessary to successfully wait on the large trade and you can inspect this market at any time and you will find that it adheres strictly to the pure food law. Free deliv- cry to all parts of town and when you place your order here it will be quickly and promptly filled. We wish to make special mention of the fact that this market is in a position at all times to pay the highest market price for hogs, cattle, sheep, hides, eggs and butter. When you have anything in this line ready for market, it will pay you to call here and get prices.

before you decided to take it. Would it not be just as fair to pay the local merchant in advance and go and get your goods at the express office as it would the mail order housesr The av- craze local merchant is just as reliable as the big mail order houses.
 The policy of the mail order house IS that if you are new customer they will throw out bait by giving you really better goods than you ordered the first time. Of course when vou get bargain you tell your neighbors about it and they send too. Where they get back at you is on the future business. When you get your second shipment, you open your "prize box" and you will find that you could have saved money by trading with your home merchants.
 II hard times overtakes you, do you go to the mail order houses for creditp No. They require you to send the cash In advance for everything you get.
 In the conclusion of this article we wish to say to our readers that it is not only false economy, but disloyalty to our home town as welll as our local merchants who are abundantly able to meetany and all legitimate competition

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY
Money Sent Mail Order Houses Never Merchants
 You Foreign Houses Only Want Your Money

The importance of this fact is not fully realized by those who should know best. Every dollar spent in Prescott helps the city to prosper and in turn helps the surrounding country to grow and advance.
 One of the menances of the prosperity of such communities as Prescott is the effect of the catalogue houses, who influence citizens to patronize them instead of their home merchants. Not only are farmers and their families invited to trade away from home, but residents of the town, and business men themselves and their families, are solicited to send their cash afar off to aid in building up some other commu- nifty and tear down their own.
 Our readers who may be patrons of the mail-order houses, as well as others who have not taken this matter under earnest thought, should remember that mail-order houses and large city stores do nothing for our home town. They will not buy your produce. They pay nothing toward keeping up your schools, churches, roads, etc., pay no taxes into your city and county treasury. They do not financially assist in helping to keep our church up. They give noth- ing for the benefit of worthy citizens
