THEY ALL COME BACK
WITH SAME OLD STORY
Glenwood Springs Post:

Glenwood Springs Post:
Have you noticed that the people
who visit California all come back
with the same story OF an over
doomed country? That state surely
has suffered from the abundance OF
enthusiasm and paucity of honor of
the real estate bunco steerer. Re-
gardless OF how much or how little
truth there may be in his statements
the above Individual knows very we'll
that some one will bite at his game
and he works on in a circle. not at
all discouraged by the fact that nine
ty per cent OF the easterners TO
whom he sings his song are not in
the least affected by II. He is quite
content in the fact that the other
ten per cent are willing to listen to
him with some show of confidence.
But a day of reckoning is coming and
then-but what's the use of speculat-
ing? So long as California enjoys
that wonderfully equable climate the
year round and the railroads con-
tinue to spend their money freely in
advertising that chief asset We may
expect that people will go to Califor-
mia, get stung and refuse to holler.
and so the endless chain will go on.

FARMERS Mne HAVE

From the Farm q Fireside:

From the Farm 4 Fireside:
The way to get n good price for an
article is to have something good and
know whom IL would exactly suit.
One cannot find just the customer for
every article by standing in the corner
OF his field and looking over the
neighborhood. nor yet by taking 1t 20
town and offering II to the store. True
a farmer can sell everything he raises
by this plan. There are always buy
ers who come to his pasture and take
seventy-hve head OF cattle at SO much
per head. There are always mills and
dealers at town who will buy all the
grain he has to sell. And yet there
misses unless he cultivates a faculty
for advertising. A farmer has a dozen
or a score OF things during the year
that might demand a fancy price II he
only knew the customer who wants n
fancy article. He hasn't the time to
go out and hunt up a fancy customer.
but little iudlcious advertising will
find him at a surprisingly small cost
For instance. a farmer Of my acquaint-
ance had a nice Jersey COW that he
wished to sell. She was good COW.

his community for sixty dollars He
was offered sixty dollars for her. Most

Simpson had four Inquiries from

There are a hundred chances for
the thrifty farmer to Increase his prof

he has nifty gallons of cherries that
