HEAVY BUYERS

IN OUR town, these days, we see
faces that are strangers to us,
faces that are not familiar in our
town.
People from distant parts of our
county, from other towns, and 9TH
er localities, some near, some far
drive in to inspect and ascertain
personally the worth and reliability
of the pledges that are made from
time to time to the public, by means
of extensive advertising, by poster
notices, and in the local press.
Generally those strangers are
heavy buyers, and return home
ward we'll satisfied with the results
of their long trip.
This is the finest and highest rec
ommendation that can be given to
u business men and should be
the source of their keenest pride
and qualification.
1t proves that they have backed
up their promises, and redeemed
their pledges, and that they were
able to, as they hoped, meet the ex-
pectations of those who respond to
their invitations, and took them at
their word.
1t proves further, that these mes
sages to the public, in one form or
another - newspaper lads" and
poster notices-are bringing them
the hoped for results, in the form
of increased popularity, increased
number of customers and increas-
ed business.
If it were not so, why then those
many stranger faces in our town
these days? Why then the rush of
business these days? Why then do
people travel so far, from distant
localities, ia do business here?
Here and there in localities, are
still to be found little misery bust
ness men who have not yet learned
the great lesson of business pro-
gression, but generally they lean
against deserted counters and
sooner or later go to the wall.
Business progression these days
is activity-expansion. The bust
ness man must speak to the people
or they will not speak to him.
He owes it to the people, and the
people are entitled to know what
he has to offer them; if he will not
keep in touch with them, and keep
them enlightened regarding his
business, they will reciprocate his
reason, in justice, and in good bust
ness principle.
The new and just demand of the
people, to be recognized by the
business man, and to be informed
from time to time regarding his
activities, constitutes the most de-
sirable, the most legitimate kind of
advertising.
It is directly in opposition to
trick and wildcat Advertising, has
the usefulness and Drawn of sin

Because this old world is hungry

VIII You Read This Twice?

A very important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream Of tartar
baking powder like Dr.. Price's or
whether she is willing to use alum
baking powder in food.
One kind is easily dtstin-
guished from the other, since the
laws Of various States require
the Ingredients to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt which to use, it is worth
while to ask the family doctor.
Then decide.
And when once a decision is
reached let no advertisement, or
dealer's argument or'~canvasser's
solicitation, change the dect-
sion. 1t is not a question Of a
few cents or Of pleasing a sales
man. 1t is a question Of health.
If this appeals to you as rea-
sonable and sensible advice, it
is worth reading twice. And it is
worth remembering.

of pigs and piglets. A short time
ago he sold one of his piglets to
a man in San Simon and shipped
the animal by express, at the same
