From the Republican, Mt. Gil

teresting experience some time
ago, when a young gentleman
came to his Office and asked for
a copy of the Morrow County
Republican. He scrutinized it
carefully when a copy was hand
ed him. and then said: Now
know" what is it you are
looking for We inquired. my
wife sent me after a bottle of
Cham beilain's Cough Remedy,
and forgot the name. / went
to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the
line on the shelf except Cham
berlain's. III try again, and I'll
never go home without Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" The
Republican would suggest to the
pToprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks. and never let
them substitutes. Customers
lose faith in stores where substi-
tuting is permitted, to say moth.

yet completed thru the county
and but a few miles macidam-
lied, land values have increased
from one fourth to one third,
what will be the limit when the
roads are completed! This pre-
diction w S made FIVE years ago
by the Boone Way Man when he
said land values would double in
less than three years after the
roads are finished. AT the pres
ent rate OF increase that doubled
point will be reached even before
the completion of the highways.
A good number of farm buyers
have come and are coming in
from other counties and invest
