MR.. MERCHANT!

Whether you buy newspapers and sell
them to passersby, or own big mills and
dispose of their products, you know
that honesty pays; that no sale is a
good sale unless both sides profit, and
that he profits most who serves best.
These axioms have grown out of the
experience of hosts of merchants in
every town.
The church is the institution in this
town-in every town which teaches
honesty and truth and mercy. Without
the church business would revert to the
selfish, sharp barter of ancient days.
The churches of this town appeal to
every merchant to support them with
time, ability and money.
