^T^verybody will agree that a man succeeds and
prospers only when he spends LESS money
than he receives in a given period of time.
Let’s apply this great economic test to the sit-
uation in this town: Our business men have
invested—and continue to invest—their money
in stocks of goods brought here to your very
door to meet your daily needs.
Through the pages of this paper they advise
you of their ability to serve this community.
All of us know that they deserve our patronage.

of railroad transportation, board,

approximately cue hundred dol-
