A Proud Record.
Mr.. Prospective Locator: You can
not do better than to look into the
advantages that you will have access
to If you locate at Mercer. The best
of land, and a record of never hav-
ing'a crop failure since the country
was opened for settlement. Wheat
goes from thirty to thirty-ive bushels
per acre. The amount of grain that
was shipped out of Mercer last year
was proof enough for that. None of
the new towns along this line have
shipped equal the amount Of grain for
the amount Of land broke. If a man
will come here and devote his time
to the improving of his land, and
knows how to farm, there are nc rea.
sons that will convice us that he
will not success, and do better than
any other place in this or any other
part of the United States.

On the other hand, you have mer-
chants in your town that carry full
lines of everything that You will
want to use, either for your work or
for your home. Mercer is noted
along the line for their stores being
the most complete stocked establish
ments in this part of the county; the
business men are men that have come
here to improve this country and
are doing it.
The city Of Mercer has two banks
that are in the best of condition to-
day. What has made this? Nothing
more than that the merchants have
made their stocks attractive and
drawn trade from other territory,
that would be closer to other towns.
The farmers that are already here
knew that they can get better goods
at a lower price at Mercer than they
can by sending away for them. The
modern man of today will travel a
few miles further to save dollars
on his large purchases.
