loyal and consistent boosters gave
voice To an important truth in his al
dress in this city last night when ht
said: '-The way 10 eaiid Up Dallas is

reason that the home merchants are
usually not only willing but glad to
procure for their customers any need
cd article not carried in stock, and n
supply it at a price as reasonable as
