Are You With Our
Local Merchants!
Clever Silver-Tongued Statesmen
Canvas County for Made-t0-
Measure Clothes

During the past week a party
of three or four men have been
canvassing this community tax
ing orders for made-to-measure
clothing. These men are artists
in their line and have captured
the interest of many persons by
their fluent talks on the SPLEEN
did values they are offering. It's
the same old game over and over
again, and yet many people fall
for it without the least hesita-
ton. There is no excuse for
anyone allowing these salesmeC,
who have no interest in these
citizens or this community, to
get away with his money and
deliver an inferior article for it.
It's an injustice to Redwood
business men and to the pur-
chaser.
There are a number of mer-
chants in Redwood Falls to sup
ply the needs of the public in
their various lines and it is posi-
lively known that, comparing
quality for quality, they can
give their townsmen more for
the money than the strangers
who come and go.
There is another considera-
ton; the merchant is here to
make good anything that may
not be satisfactory to his GUS
toner. What are purchasers
to do when they find they are
"stung" by stranger of whom
they know nothing? Is he 60
ing to make it right?
Wake up! If you want a SIS
or $18 suit go to your local mer-
chant and he will sell it to you,
giving you more for your mon
ey, in real quality, than it is
possible for outside dealers to
give you. Don't let these sharks
bleed you.

Did you ever notice that if
you place the transmitter Of the
telephone against your chest,
instead of before your mouth,
it makes no apparent difference
to your auditor? If you are talk
ing over a desk instrument it
is often easier to hold it against
the chest than to the mouth.
Simply hold the transmitter to
your chest and talk into the
open air. The entire chest wall
vibrates in unison with the voice
and will transmit the sound vi
brations over the telephone as
well as your voice.-American
