In Weatherford, merchants secure
their merchandise just as cheaply as
merchants elsewhere do, and are just
as honest and just as anxious to make
many small profits rather than fewer
big profits as are the dealers in more
distant cities. This is just a simple
principle of profitable merchandising.

of Weatherford are more anxious

CONFIDENCE
'—The lack of confidence is hurting the country today
more than anything else. There is the same amount of
money now that there was in flush times, but it has been
pocketed, which if deposited back in the banks would soon
enable them to put it out at work buying cattle and other
things, although at prices not so great as during the war.
