BUSINESS GOOD
WITH JOBBERS
LOCAL WHOLESALERS SENDING
OUT LITERATURE FOR STATE
FAIR IN THE HOPE OF GETTING
THEIR CUSTOMERS TO COME
INTO TOWN.

Practically all commercial travellers
In different lines are now out with
their fall samples. During the past
week scores of the boys left the city
with grooming grips for their respec-
tive territories and for the next two
months little time will be spent by
them at anything but work. Many of
the leading houses, having reason to
expect ar excellent business during
the season, have added additional men
to their selling forces.
Only a brief visit through the whole
sale district is necessary to discover
that Fargo jobbers were never In bet
ter position to serve the trade h
this year. All houses have Iaid in lib
eral supplies of goods and have placed
orders for more, which will come in
at intervals. During the past week
several Of the leading houses have re-
ceived from two to half q dozen car
loads Of merchandise, but this is only
a small portion Of the goods that have
come and will come to the Gate City
merchants,
Despite the fact that many of Far
gohs jobbers were cheated out Of a big
spring season by the very bad weather
and other objectionable features. there
has been steady business right along,
and the days were indeed a + when
business was not good.
Filling-in business has been very
fair with the local jobbers, and this
has helped to hold up the average. At
all times It has been noticed that the
country and small town retailers were
buying conservatively along as they
needed the merchandise, but from all
indications there will be a much more
liberal tone to the market during the
coming months. Already good orders
are coming in to the different houses
which have their samples in the field,
while considerable fiIling-in business
is being done.
Many of the local jobbers have been
sending u advertising literature in
advance of the North Dakota state
fair, which is held in Fargo the week
of July %, and 1t is believed that many
buyers will be brought here at that
time. Always during the fair the local
wholesalers do a big business, but
especial efforts will be made to attract
the trade this year.

Republican Candidate for commits
sioner of railroads
Il believe that the physical valua-
ton of railroads should be obtained
in this state and kept mp to date as
a basis Of controlling rates. We should
have a clean, uniform system Of
bookkeeping m reporting that the
amount of income and expenditures
may be readily seen. With this knowl-
edge of value, rates may be fixed ac-
curately on q basis that is fair to the
company and public alike.
81 do not believe the public should
he taxed through extortinate rates to
pay interest on watered stock which
represents no investment and thereby
contribute unfairly to the Wall street
gamblers who render no valuable serv-
Ice to the public or transportation
companies.
THE development of our jobbing
and manufacturing interests as well
as our agricultural prosperity depends
on the establishment and maintenance
of a fair, equitable railroad rate. 1t
will be my honest endeayor If elected,
to work for such a rate, not in the
spirit of recklessness or unfairness,
but on a basis Of Justice

On the subject OF Drink the great

preaching his eight1eth year, says:
Though / have known men and
women destroyed for adj manner of
reasons, vet / know OF no cause that
affects man, woman, child and home
with such universally of steady power
as Intoxicating drink"
Another great man, Ri. Reverend
Monsignor Flavin, says: "The Neal
Three-Day Drink Habit Cure is a grand
work and a great benefit to humanity"
This in substance is the testimony of
many thousands OF men and women of
all classes who have received or know
