THE New Year promises degree
of unrivalled prosperity to the citi-
zens of Virginia, year of business
activity in which each and every
Virginian will be welcome to share.
With the mills and mines working
full crews, the opening and develop
ment of several new properties in
the Virginia district, and the con-
stantly increasing value of the
agricultural backing to the city, we
look confidently forward to an in
creasing business growth which
should add to the JOY of all.
EVELETH merchants have started
a crusade to keep Eveleth money at
home instead of having it shipped
to outside concerns for general
commodities. One of the surest
methods of keeping money in any
Community is to meet the price of
the catalogue house and then put
in about one-tenth the amount the
catalogue house does into Advertise
ing. Make advertising part of
your business, the same as the buy
ing of stock; give the buyer prices,
keep the new arrivals on your
shelves before him and the trade
will come. That's the reason it goes,
in many instances.
