The remark is often made by
visitors to our town that it is q
prosperous thriving tow n.
Travelling men especially, speak
os the amount of business done
here. The reasons for these re-
marks are: That the grain and
stock buyers pay the highest
prices that the markets afford,
often good deal better prices
than are paid in the neighborine
towns. To the merchants also
is due a share of the credit.
They carry large and well sci.
ected stocks, bought in large
quantities at close figures for
cash, and give their customers
the advantage of the cut prices.
Nothing helps to build up a
town more than live, energetic
business men.

PROUD OF CROPS

The question is asked by a
Chicago newspaper, Why not be
proud of the great crops that are
being raised this year on the
farms? Of course the farmers
are proud of their crops, and the
tradesmen are proud of them,
and the merchants rejoice and
the manufacturers are glad.
Proud of the great crops? Ger
tainly. 1t is strange that one
should ask such a question.
The crops in this vicinity are
especially good this year. They
will equal in value the great
crop of 1907 which gave Condor
the enviable reput alton of "The
Greatest Primary Grain Ship
ping Point in the United States"
although the average yield per
acre will be less.
In all the world there is no
country where such great varied
and valuable crops are produced
as on the American farms and
in no section of the United
States is there a better chance
for the farmer than in Gillian
County. Markets are near ev-
cry acre of this land. The rail-
roads absorb the surplus and
transport it to the market GEN.
ters Of the country or the world.
And that which is left behind
will not be sold for a cent less
than what it could be sold for
farther away; or, putting it in
another way, nothing will be
shipped away for less than it
will bring tat home. In other
words good prices prevail every
where. Thegood crop this year
means an abundance of distri-
buted new wealth.

Advertising seems to be an arr

people. That is, the practical
part of it. A constant, stream

The newspaper is a medium in

newspaper advertising is no
longer an open question; that is

telligent manner, and pays be-
cause of its effectiveness and
