Why Buy Shoes in Boston3

The Virginia Industrial Magazine,
under the above caption in a recent
editorial, said:
why should Southern merchants
purchase their stocks in northern
cities when LYnchburg stands fifth
among the cities OF the United States
as a shoe distributing point? This
raises the question why does the
Southern merchant take Southern
money North to purchase his fall
stock when some of the largest man
ufactures and wholesale houses are
located in the South?
I'VE can hear you saying Yes,
Southern made shoes should be
bought and Southern manufacturers
should be patronized. all things
being equal If this is the way you
feel about it, this question has been
settled. Craddock- Terry Company
are selling shoes in Washington
Baltimore, New York, and even in
Boston, and if this Southern manu-
facturer can find a ready sale foi
their product in Northern cities. al

The dairy cow. II able 10 express
herself ia a way which the human
family would comprehend. might we'll
lay claim to being mans best friend.
She might establish such a claim by
calling attention TO the fact that from
her product and from her carcass man
manufactures more OF the necessities
Of life than from any other similar
source. Che furnishes these necessities
10 him from infancy until such n time
as temporal things are NJ longer asso.
ciated with his existance, and she does
il ungr1dgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing TO mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity OF an agricultural community is
more closely identified with her than
with any other Of .he domestic ami
mails. The horse is quite essential in
filling the soil. but where necessity
requires il the sturdy son.of the COW
can take his place, as lie has done in
every agricultural section on earth.
The horse can only furnish labor and
can only return a profit TO his owner
when conditions are right for return
ing satisfactory grain crops. IL Is a
we'll known fact that the dairy COW rs
the salvation of the farmer in times OF
poor crops as she is able to convert the
rough crops which are never a total
failure, into dairy products which al
ways have a cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm be-
comes less valuable each year and the
whole country less prosperous.
The elimination OF the dairy cow
would necessitate an almost revolution
airy readjustment of mans tastes and
requirements. IL would mean untold
suffering and hardship. OF course she
will not be dispensed with but her
value can perhaps best be appreciated
by contemplating such a lose.
she will continue to be man's best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying him
with his greatest needs just as she has
done through all the ages.

contest was really one OF pitchers. and
