BUYING AT LIFE'S STORE

The necessity for food creates Com
merce. and the end of commerce is
not simply production, and the dis
tribution of necessities, but the great
aim of all commerce is Ito bring men
together. All commercial, mental. and
moral values are due to union. Com
merce insures union.
The selfish man is unciyilized. The
squirrel anu blsckbird gain nothing by
relationship The lower animals get
all at birth-their characters are fixed.
Mankind is different. The mans char.
acter is being made. Man finds himself
by union, and commerce with his fell
lows. Men grow by trust and SYM
pathy.
The end Of buying and selling is not
to satisfy hunger and thirst. Itshould
be the making of mantle man
who buys, as well as the man who sells.
1t is indeed pitible to have more prop
erty than manhood; TO be more absorb
ed in making living in making

petites.
The articles for sale are also divided
into four classes-the good; the bad;
the shop-worn; the indifferent. These
fourmay be divided into two great class
eS-the tangible, and the intangible.

There are strange rules, and peculiar
methods in 'Life's Store The prices
are never marked in plain figures.
Again no two people pay the same
price for the same goods. No two have
the same satisfaction; tho same use; the
same wear. Also no goods are guaran-
teed. Then you pay the price and the
goods are not always delivered. Some
Of the best values come to Us, when the
purchase was not delivered.
You often pay the price; and inferior
goods are sent, but remember Nature
