worked TO American commerce by the
Withdrawal OF the privileges they

Under the treaty of 1915. which is
the only basis for commercial inter

attracted attention far and wide.
And the singer, it would appear, has
endeared himself, not only to the
young people, with whom he is i'm

enthusiasm, coupled with thorough

made a place for him in this section

of the cooperation of the people

to promote, build up and support in

carried out practically will in short

dollars that rightfully should stay
right here in Langdon and aid in its
upbuilding and development 1t is
necessary if this community idea is
to be successfully carried out that
both the buyer and the seller do his
part. The trade is here which if pro-
perly gone after by the Langdon bu.
siness man would more than doubel
his present time sales and there are
concessions that will have to be made
to regain for Langdon the prestige it
has lost owing to the inroads made on
trade that properly belongs here by
the mail order and catalog houses in
the Twin Cities and Chicago. "Buy

talk. Just let the merchants go after
the elusive dollars just as earnestly
and energetically in their every day
trading as they do when they are
putting on big sale and they will
