VISIT LUBBOCK

Last Saturday while the editor
was in Lubbock our attention
was called to the fac that the
town was full of country people,
and they were all trading and
every store and bank in town
seemed to De busy. We could
not see where the crowd came
from for we had been told that
Lubbock had not many farmers,
but one could readily see that
many people were there. We
visited the Avalanche office, and
We saw some big page circulars
that had been cotton out and was
told that many thousands of them
had been distributed over the
county as well as over parts OF
adjoining counties. People got
on the train at Lorenzo and
went to Lubbock shopping, and
some went with empty suit cases
and brought them back full, and
we hit the idea that they attend
ed the Mercantile, and Just as
we were thinking over this
Crosby county woman, ask us
if we could sight her to the
Mercantile, saying that she had
considerable trading to do before
the train went out. On our
return we figured it out and it Is
simply this: The Lubbock Mer-
camille COmpany had simply
ask this woman 10 come from
Lorenzo. Crosby county, to do
some trading at that store, by
placing in her home in some
manner some of these big clrcu-
lars. on otherwise by advertlS-
ing. and we could see that 1t was
but natural for this good woman
to 20 there. She had been in
vited. Let's invite them TO Cros-
byton. What DO you say? Cros-
