Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when
young gentlement came to this office
and asked for copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: Now l known
what is 1t you are looking for" we
inquired. my wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and ! forgot the name. l went
to several stores and the clerks
named over everything In the line on
the shelf except 'Chamberlains. I'll
try again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." The Republican would suggest
to the proprietors Of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith In
stores where substituting is permit
ted to say nothing Of the injustice to
makers OF good goods and the dis
appointment Of customers.
