THE NAIL ORDER HOUSE THE DEADLIEST FOE
OF TIE SMALL TOWN.


The mail order business is the quack doctor of
merce 1t promises much and guarantees nothing Like
patent medicine the directions always the inside
and you always have buy package before
you can find out what they
No Mail Order House helped build the little white
school house in your district turnpike the road just
past yourdoor No Mail Order House took you by the
hand when you in dsressand told youto let that little
go until after harvest next year. No Mail Order
House sold you vehicle and spent every of its
profits right in the community where you and your
neighbors could get it all back again No Mail Order
House showed its patent leather shoes under your
table and reoiced with you when you glad
spoke encouraging words in atction stood with
covered head beside the graves when your children died.
No. the Mail Order House is after money Every
dollar it gets its hands will be jerked out of your
neghborhood forever. The Mail Order House may bear
on its face the semblance of friendship but human
heart beats under its cloak of hypocrisy Sentiment to it
is unknown. The whole institution is cold and blood
less a corpse.
All the Mail Order Houses in Christendom would not
increase the value of your farm a They
parasites whom life is only possible long they
suck blood of the communities the upbuding of
which they contribute nothing. They create local
market for the products you have for sale They have no
property in your county which be assessed to help
bear the burden of taxation.
The local dealer needs neither advocate defense
His methods rest principles that have built up in this
country a system of internal which is the
marvel and admiration of the world. His business is
legitimate because its contributes to the general
prosperity of the community that built it up
Stand by your local dealer he stands by you with
his time, his skill and his money He helps to build up
the community and he makes it better place for you
both to live. His depends your
prosperity. He has for mavericks unbranded
junk. He by the goods branded with the trade
mark of the skilled manufacturers earthgood
the like of which other generation saw, and he
has abiding faith in the theory that the best goods in
the world to-day too good for that maorgenera
of all undustries-t American Ctzen.Paxton Record
In several instances since have assumed charge of
the Office have been called to time for the omission of
certain items which really should have been in for slight
typographical which crept into the paper and in
instances for emitting items which had been
handed in for publication We wish once for all to offer
general apology all concerned for these omissions and
which in every instance due to oversight or
to exceptional rush of job work and advertising which
made it practically impossible for with the present
office force and facilities to pay proper attention to the
features of the paper The Office force at present
working day and night the large annual institute
announcement for 1910 and will probably be two weeks
before it is finished In time will get caught up with
the work and be able to present carefully edited
paper.
