Tacoma had every chance to
win in the contest Saturday. She
started out ahead and had the
game won 2 to In the beginning
of the sixth inning. but Hall went
wrong then and the slow Fielding
of infield scratches and hunts put
the Turks ON top.
Yesterday there never was a
chance for Tacoma Thompson

tiers did show some inclination to
do something, the infield on the
enemy's side put UP such wonder

very foolishly gave him the money
The saloon was to be located on one

With the help of the district attorney

MERCHANTS WILL
PLEASE READ
A Farmer in ClarA County Gives
His Reasons Why They Trade
Outside.

In looking over your valuable para
graphs last week We noticed some en-
phatic advertising Some pages re-
minded us of the best selling pages
of some af the Chicago mail order
houses. While we have neither right
or desire to find fault with any mer-
chants advertising, the money is his
and he has a right to spend it for
what he chooses, yet at the same
their prices, a number of my former
friends who now send to Chicago
for goods, would buy at home What
people like to hear is what the stuff
costs. There is something awfuliy
fascinating about the price, don't you
know it? Even the children are in
terested in prices. They may not
know the value but they have an eye
on the price: We dare say that NOR
chants are far more interested in the
prices of their wholesaler than long
descriptions. Why should it be any
different with a person who buys at
retail? People want to know some
| thing about goods and they also want
DEFINITE PRICE. 1t has always
seemed to us that a lot of money
is partially or wholly wasted in aim
less advertising. The kind that Gin
vites you to the store" 1--WE are the
agents for" ''sell wear good clothes -
Some folks may read your brand
but they will sit up and notice if
you mention price. Now the price
need not be CUT PRICE. We know
of farmers who are sending out of
| town for goods all the while paying
! the home prices for the stuff The
trouble is that in the home paper they
read of a merchant who had a store
| in town and sold goods at reasonable
prices while in a catalog they read
short description and the price of the
thing they want in black type. Why
should not farmers get suspicious of
an advertiser who will occupy half a
page and tell you about something
and let Montgomery Ward tell the
price? Not a merchant in Neillsville
or surrounding towns need be sham
ed o. the prices of goods. Goods
that are what they ought to be are
n oh II I1o1,
whole lot of business now going out
of the county could be saved to home
merchants if they pay money for
good price quoting advertising instead
of lot of general matter in papers
or circulars. If you cannot afford
to advertise weekly and some of you
cannot, put in good live ad once a
month and tell us what you have to
sell and what your price is and then
with you. The whole secret of the
mail order business is the cut, de-
scription and the vital matter, the
PRICE. Instead of finding fault with
the farmers for sending to Chicago
after goods tell us what you have to
sell and what kind of deal you can
give us. A ten mile trip to Neillsvill
is no great distance nowadays.
We dare say that not one of the mer-
chants who advertised price so ex-
tensively last week are dissatisfied.
We know of one fellow who drove
IA miles for a buggy load of goods
of one of them. FARMER.
