AN HONEST CONFESSION

Elsewhere in this issue is printed
n letter from one of our readers who
tells how he was made a Sucker"
by ordering mail-order typewriter
ON the installment plan, He is frank
to say that he hadn't believed my
various why people should buy as
near home rs possible, but is hon est
enough to admit that | was right,
and that he was wrong to the extent
of perfectly good $500 bill.
Others will do we'll to profit by
his experience. OF course am not
SO dumb as to argue that all mail
order houses are run by crooks.
Far be from such! But apart from
the honesty and dishonesty of the
firms, there remains the indisputable
fact that TT is ALWAYS BETTER
TO SEE YOUR PURCHASES, EN-
ANIME THEM AND TEST THEM
WITH YOUR OWN EYES AND
HANDS BEFORE YOU PAY OUT
YOUR GOOD MONEY.
Whenever there is dissatisfaction
with mail-order purchase, even
tho you can get it made good, there
is always lot of time lost; you get
peeved at the delays; you are de
prived of the use of the things YOU
have bought, while your money is
being used by other people.

CONSISTENCY, THOU
ART A JEWEL

A story is going the rounds of
a supposed moral leader of certain
community who became highly in
dignant that resident was not
married to the woman who kept
house for him. He was so highly
ineensed that he even went to the
extreme of comforting with a man
who was supposed to be a member
of the Ku Klux Klan, seeking to
have the resident intimidated for his
reputed "immoral conduct"
The man appealed to, told him
that if he had any evidence that
the resident was violating the law,
that he should present his evidence
to the authorities and have the
matter handled in decency and or
der.
Later, this supposed moral lead
err had an intimate relation who
had been paying such undue atten-
tions to married woman that the
entire community became aroused
But this supposed moral leader" ex-
cused the conduct of his relative.

the international Typewriter Ex-

sound preposterous.

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

The people of the country arc
with the President to man in the
matter of tax reduction. They have
the most absolute confidence in the
program which he has worked out
and it is Just as well to sound a
warning to the Democratic and
near-Demoeratic members of Con
gress that their cue should be to
take up the tax program as pre-
sented by the President and enact
it at the earliest possible moment.
Already whispers are current that
certain gentlemen of imitation i'm
portance, at least, while apprecia-
ting the public demand for tax re
duction, are inclined to manipulate
the debate with the hopes of en-
phasizing their own personalities and
securing some cheap advertising
The President has made the tax
reduction program his own and the
people understand it. He is the
one who has fought the issue to the
point where the Congressman do not
dare show open opposition to it, and
it will be well for them to appreci-
ate that situation before they en-
bark on any campaign of long
speech making.

MEANS TO YOU
Every now and then we like
to talk to our merchants about ad-

the interest of the public, the in

Usher are inseparably linked.
The public always is best served
by buying advertised goods. Goods
that are advertised are goods that
are more extensively manufactured
