lie is safe to say that there is not a
business establishment in the city of
Oakland which is of greater Importance
to all the plople than that which is be-
ing conducted by H. w. Kahl & Sons.
1t is not only proving a great con-
venience to all the people of the entire
county but it is the means of bringing
much money to the community.
Whether it is the building of a new
home, barn or any other structure, or
the remodeling or repairing of such a
building the service of this concern is
right here at your door to do the work
just as cheap and good as it can be
done by any person or firm in the
country. This includes wood work,
brick or concrete. There is a
lumber for every purpose as we'll as a
fine stock of sash. doors, roofing and
material for any building.
A special effort is how being made
along the line of silos for farmers.
They are being produced in both wood
and concrete and those who have in
vestigated have found him to be furnish
ing a sio far superior to that purchas-
ed elsewhere and at lower cost.
Mr.. Kahl and his sons, Messrs Albert
and Walter, are boosters for Oakland
and can be depended upon to do their
full share toward the betterment of the
community,

home city, what use would there he
for store buildings, Office buildings and
bank? Nonei The merchants would be
forced cut Of business and their empty
buildings would stand as ghastly monu-
ments to your disloyalty, while their
clerks and employees would be forced to
90 elsewhere IN search of employment,
leaving "For Rent" signs on their
homes to stare you in the face for
months, and even years, homes which
some Of them had worked hard for years
TO acquire, while others were paying
for on the installment plan, now forced
to stand idle and vacant and falling into
decay for lack of purchasers and tenants.
The banks would also be forced to
close their doore and quit business after
the merchants left the city, for it is
largely the merchants money that sus-
tains the banks. There would be no
more beautiful bank buildings erected
to adorn your city. And if you needed
some money to lift mortgage or buy a
home, or to pay doctor bills or funeral
expenses, where would you get it?
Would the mail order house which had
been getting your trade and your money
come to your rescue? Hardly You
would be obliged to pay for a money
order each and every time you sent an
order away for supplies, instead of en-
closing the convenient certified check
or New York draft, which your bank
formerly accommodated you with free
of charge If you had unexpected
guests for dinner and found you were
out of coffee, sugar, flour or other
essential. instead of sending out to the
corner grocery as you do now, you would
have to keep your guests in waiting
until YOU sent to Chicago for the missing
articles.
/ Take look at the tax books of the
city and see if the merchants and the
/ bankers do not pay the bulk, of your
taxes. With them gone, who will con-
tribute the money to keep up your
streets and support your schools, unless
you do? With the merchants and the
bankers and their employees and THEN
money gone out of the city and property
depreciating in value, it would infict 6
great hardship on those remaining t
bear the burden of taxation, and they
would eventually grow discouraged anC
leave like rats deserving sinking ship
And this community would be doomed
By buying at home and boosting for the
home town you will not only make this
a great and prosperous industrial anC
commercial center, but you will save
money while you are bringing thi:
about. Be loyal to your city and be-
loyal to your home by leaving the out
side merchants alone.

MRS. Nj. G. MARTIN.

The presence of Mrs. NJ. G. Martin 5
establishment has been the means of
making Oakland more popular shop
ping place for the women of this sec
ton Of the country. The millinery es-
Establishment of Mrs. Martin has become
well established as the place where
none but the very latest STYLES are car
ried. In order to keep in touch with
the current fads and prevailing styles
Mrs. Martin makes semi-annual trips
to New York where she acquaints her
self with them.
In addition to the millinery business
there is fine line of suits, coats and
waists which are likewise strictly up to-
the minute in respect to material and
style. Mrs. Martin is also agent for
the famous Gossard corset which has
long been the most popular with the
best dressed women throughout the
country.
1t cannot be said that Mrs Martin is
in competition with the mail order
houses as such goods as carried by her
cannot be purchased from them even
though she handles some popular price
goods. When purchase is made here
the purchaser knows just what has
been purchased and knows that it not
only fits, is strictly in harmony with
the style of that day but is also becom-
ing to the person who is to wear it.

Grantsville has long been one of the
most important trading centers III Gar
rett county and the presence Of the
business houses there has always been
a great convenience to all the people of
the great community which surrounds
1t. 1t has afforded the people through
out that section the best possible schools,
churches and social advantages. The
many people living there and not en-
gagged in active business have been at
tracted by the presence of the splendid
mercantile service and the many con-
venlences which are brought about by
the Capitalization of business.
These attractive conditions are con-
tingent entirely upon the financial pres
perity of the business houses as with
out them the attractIveness of the place
would be taken away. The business
men are the largest contributors toward
the maintainence of the public institu-
lions and it is entirely through them
that the farmers of the community
have market for their products This
being the case it is to the advantage of
all that they cooperate to the end of
making Grantsville a better business
center. If the people of the community
will patroniZe the local stores as much
as possible they VIII soon find them
selves doing as much for themselves as
they are for the merchants.
No community can boast of better
trading place than that which is being
conducted in Grantsville by j. J. Ben.
der. He has been engaged in business
there during the past seventeen years
and has done much toward the building
of that fine community. He has made
for the people there cash market for
their produce and has supplied them
thebest possible line of merchandise. His
fine store is truly credit to the people
During his long career there he has
seen to 1t that his customers received
full value for their money in every
transaction. His high class goods are
the best to be had anywhere in the
country and his cheaper goods are Just
what they are represented to be and
likewise worth every penny paid for
them.
The stock of groceries found in this
store is seldom equaled outside of the
much larger towns or cities. There is
also large stock of flour, feed, hard
ware, harness, farming implements,
paints, oils, glass, drugs and queens
ware.
Mr.. Bender is community builder,
is interested in the welfare of every
person in the community and has al
ways made himself a valuable citizen

The superiority of home products over
that which is handled by the mail order
house is best demonstrated in the har-
ness business. The illustrations and
descriptions given in the catalogue
would lead one to believe that the har-
ness handled by them was the best
material and was just as good if not
better than that produced by the man
at the bench in the home town harness
shop When the harness arrives the
purchaser is usually pretty we'll salts
fled with what he has gotten because it
has the appearance of being genuine.
1t Is but few weeks however, until
the difference comes to the surface.
The leather begins to stretch, sag and
twist. The machine sewing begins to
let lose and the owner soon finds that it
is very unsafe to go out on the roads
with it. The interioritY has come to
the front but it is too late to send it
back and the owner must grin and
bear it.

SYMPATHY-BUT NO ASSISTANCE.

A farmer of very moderate means
living near the central part of w. Va,
became q patron Of one Of the large
mail order houses in Chicago. He
boosted to his neighbors that ne did not
spend one cent of money with the local
merchants. He even solicited his neigh
bors to join him in ordering goods from
this fovorite mail order house and was
successful in taking considerable trade
from the local stores.
1t was but a few months ago that
this same farmer had misfortune of
a fire which swept away his house with
all its contents and his barn with all his
feed and farming implements. He i'm
mediately wrote to the mail order house,
related his calamity and asked for as
sistance 1t is needless to relate the
reply but here it is:
Dear Mr.
We are sorry indeed to hear of ..your
great misfortune. 1t Is contrary TO
the rules of this company to make any
donations. However, we hope you will
soon recover your losses and be in po-
sition to continue your patronage of
