HOW WE HELP y
THE RETAILER.

Every time this newspaper
prints the advertising of a STAN
dard article is is helping the e
tailers who handle that product.
1t is to the interest of re-
tailers that a newspaper should
increase it's general advertising
because it stimulates business
at their stores.
People like to see the goods
they read about in the news
papers.
If price and quality suits them
they will buy.
Every sale means a customer
and a profit to the retailer.
Retailers help their home
newspaper and help themselves
when they push these goods.
1t is cooperation profitable
alike to the dealer, the manu-
%facturer, the newspaper, and the
consumer.

the farmers TO start with the split

and demonstrate what this will do
for bad roads. When ID. Ward

April good many farmers volun-
teered TO build road drags and try
them on their roads. Time for
building this contrivance and for
dragging the roads can now be
found. Mr.. Hochbaum will be

The best plan is being consider
by the town board to gravel the
business streets of Meridian. With
the completion Of the state high
way through the town, the other
streets will look pretty bad II a
coat Of macadam 10 not put on
them. AS Meridian's business
streets have quite an unsayory
reputation among the farmers for
deep ruts and mud, at least in the
winter season, any plan should be
encouraged that will relieve the
situation. 1t is suggested that the
abntting property owners pay IN 9
fund aggragating about 5000,
which is thought sufficient to
build the macadam from the Inter
urban depot east and around the
square. In this way the frontage
would pay very reasonable
amount, and there would only be
a hardship on those who have the
corner lots.
