How Merchsnts Set sn Example.
Keep the dollars at home when
you can buy what you need at
the same price and less, aud get as
good or better goods. Protect your
home merchants, who credit you in
times when this kind of accommo-
dation is necessary. But this sort
of reciprocity may be carried a
little farther. When everybody is
boosting for protection for the
home merchant, the latter can do a
little missionary work in regard to
home manufacturers. Is he doing
it in Oklahoma City. How can you
find out?
"In regard to flour. There are
three mills in the city each turning
out a superior quality of flour.
Enough of it is made to more than
supply the local demand. But is
the local demand supplied with
home made flour? The home mer-
chant knows. He also knows every
time he sells a customer a sack of
flour shipped in from another state,
that that same customer has as
much right to patronize the mail
order bouse. And who is setting
the example?
"Oklahoma City has not gained
its reputation on a mail order basis.
Its the encouragement and patroni-
zation of home merchants by the
people. Do the merchants want
one rule for their customers and
another for themselves? ''Its a'
poor rule that wont work both
ways." The home merchant is en-
titled to protection, too, but he,
too, has obligations to discharge."
The above article from the Okla-
homa Times-Journal is respectfully
commended to the merchants of
Mangum. Merchants as well as
their patrons should bny what they
can of their necessities and luxuries
at home. Money sent out of the
county is frequently a long time in
getting back. People should buy
of home merchants and home merf
chants, as far as they can buy o-
home manufacturers.
A Benefit for Midgets.
On Friday evening of this
a negro ministrel will be presented
at the opera house, under the di-
rection of Mr. Chas. Roltare, for
the benefit of the Midget Base-
ball team, of this city. Mr. Rol-
tare comes highly recommended in
his line of work, and has secured
the best local talent obtainable,
and a first-class performance is
assured, and there should be a
large attendance.
The Midgets have recently
bought new uniforms, which cost
$100. and this and other things,
have put the boys "in the hole"
about $125. and they feel that they
deserve help.
