THE WEST FOR THE WEST.

Eastern catalogue houses, not men,
tioning the large amounts that leave
the other Western States. If we can
get just as good in the West, and at
lower prices, by reason of saving in
freight and express rates, why not pa
tronize the Western concern, and leave
the money to circulate among us,
where it is so much needed toward the
development of the many worthy Wes-
team enterprises?
THE COOPERATIVE SUPPLY
HOUSE is building up and establish
ing a powerful commercial enterprise
in the center of the vast population
lying west of the Mississippi. 1t rep
resents Western capital Western en-
terprise and Western energy. 1t will
keep the money where it belongs to
develop the great natural resources of
the Western States.
