Never Too Old
 To Learn

Our people are learning every once in a while that they can save money by trading at home. Just few days ago one of our best citizens came in and readily admitted that he had made a mistake in ordering wall pa- per from a sample book house, but asked me to be as considerate with him as possible.
 He told me that the price offered was 50 and 20 per cent off list and of course looked attractive to him, but that he knew now that he would have saved time, worry and money in buy ing from me.
 We will not take the liberty to give the name, but are sure that the gen. tleman would not hesitate to tell you just what he told me.
 These kind of things happen to many of us, and the wise thing for the fellow who has not been caught, Is to profit by the experience of the other fellow and buy your paper from us, where you run no risk ip getting too much or not enough. We appreciate your trade. E\
