HlolONY
We, shall not attempt to
give you a full history of
the Ertresvaag company
from the time of it's incor-
poration, but just enough
to compare the old way of
doing business, with pres
ent cash plan.
During the year of 1912 it
did a business of some
thing over $50, 600 which
included the machinery
business, a greater part of
which was credit. The
store did about a $40, 600
business, practically all
credit, with a selling ex-
pense of about IS per cent.
During the year 1913 up
to date, doing practically
an all cash business, the
business has grown to over
500, 600 in volumne with
over a month of the best
part of the year yet to add
and this on a selling ex-
pense of less than IL per
cent.
If you PAY for your mer-
chandise purchases, which
system would you think
would be the most apt to
give you your moneys
worth? Does it mean any
thing to you to tell you
that this business has
gained over $50 per cent
in one year and that a year
without a crop?
If you are not a customer
of this store, isn't it worth
while to investigate and see
if you can't do a little better
than you have been? Is it
worth your consideration at
all to know you haven't the
Dead Beats'' bills to pay?
We don't mean that all peo-
pie who run accounts are
dead beats but you all know
there is quite q percentage.
Stop bowling about the
High Cost of Living, be-
gin to economic, buy where
you can. buy the cheapest,
pay az you 60 and see how
much better of you will be
without a big store bill to
pay. If you can buy cheap
er of the catalog house, buy
there, but be fair enough to
your merchant to give him a
trial and don't Judge his
prices by prices quoted on a
few notions.
Now get in line, 60 with the
crowd (they are not all
wrong) pay as you 70 and
you will patronize the store
that sells

FARGO College
GREATEST OVATION EVER GIVEN,
IN HONOR OF MELVIN HILL
DRETH WHO WON THE INTER-
STATE oRAToRIcAL CHAMPION.
SHIP AT JAMESTOWN.

For an hour and a half this morning

ovations ever given a student.

to the platform by Coach Brown, amid
the cheers and applause of the
students, where it was made known

lege.
This is the third interstate contest

ton, and is the greatest victory and
honor that can be won for the school.
A number of the faculty and students

they congratulated Mr.. Hildreth and
Dean Brown. Misses Hodgson, Shute
and Amidon, Will Keye and Axel
Aronson spoke for the students
while President Creegan, DR.. Stearns,
and Miss True represented the faculty.

modest and apropos talk. He thanked
the students for the spirit shown since
the home contest. He expressed his
joy hat Fargo college a won, and
paid l. glowing tribute to Coach
Brown. who accomplished such
wonders with his voice and bearing.
This victory has reflected a rich
glow of loyalty and spirit on the Far
go college campus, and the alumni
who have returned have extended
their hearty congratulations to their
alma mater.
