LOOK FACTS IN THE FACE
When a merchant sells an article he
makes a certain profit over and
above the wholesale cost of the goods
the transportation and the cost of
handling This rule applies the world
over
Suppose the people of this commun-
ity have $500000 to spend wtlhln a
given length of time
Is it better to keep the profits at
home and in circulation among us or
is it wiser to send it all away?
For purposes of illustration we will
say the dealer’s profit Is 15 per cent
or $75000
If the people send away for this
$500000 worth of goods ALL OF
THE MONEY THEY SEND AWAY
WILL STAY AWAY We will nev
er see it again
If on the other hand the people
buy these goods from local dealers
the only money to be sent away will
be the wholesale cost of the goods
aqd the transportation charges
The 15 per cent profit will remain
at home as well as the overhead ex-
panses such as clerical hire insur-
ance neat light and various other
items
Keeping that money at home does
two important things It increases
the money in circulation at home and
it gives employment to local people
People who are in the habit of pat-
ronirlng their home merchants invar-
iably have a better and more pros-
perous community than those who
have the catalogue habit
These arc facts worth looking in the
face
WHY THE ADS
Live merchants advertise because
they want the people to know of the
goods ‘they have to sell especially
when more than ordinary values are
offered-
People read the ads because 'they
want to know where they can buy to
best advantage and this con only be
determined by knowing what the mer-
chant has to offer
The local paper is the medium be
tween seller and buyer
The one should use it and the other
should read it
FUNNY ISN’T ITT
Funny isn’t it? Yet it doesn’t seem
to raise a laugh
Political factions will accuse each
other of every conceivable crime dur
ing an election and then forget all
about it after the votes are counted
They will even take a long swig from
the same bottle
If they were convinced of one-tenth
of the crimes charged against them
there would not he jails enough ih
the county to hold them
But it seems to be the way of hu
man nature
And most of us are human
THEIR MISTAKES
From Siloam Bulletin—
When a doctor makes a mistake he
buries it
When the plumber makes a mistake
he charges twice for it
When a lawyer makes a mistake it
is just what he wanted because he
has a chance to try the case all over
again
When a carpenter makes a mistake
it’s just what he expected
When a judge makes a mistake it
becomes the law of the land
When a preacher makes a mistake
nobody knows the difference
But when an editor makes a mis-
take— Good night)

teen years ago I had an occasion to

very glad to say they cured me I

tainly had a lot of trouble with my
back before I took Doan's It ached
all the time and I was so lame and
weak I could hardly do tny work I
would get dizzy when I stooped over
and headaches would follow Doan’s
Kidney Fills cured me entirely of 1
the trouble and I can cetrainly rec-
ommend them highly"
