HOYT FIRST HUM DOWN THE HOME TOWN In tfie period from 1900 to 1910, 768 town* lost in population in the State of Illinois, 039 in Indiana, 464 in Iowa, 677 in Michigan, 540 in V*8?ouri, 1136 in Ohio, and 1520 in Penn sylvania; or a total of 5864 in these seven statos. Thetie figures were compiled by Flint Gar rison, Editor of "The Dry Goodsman," of St. Louis. Increased transportation facilities and mail order trade being the forec at work. Mail order patronage means the doing away with country towns. What will it mean to fanners to have only a few large cities at a distance of five hundred or a thousand miles? What are they going to do with the children, who are de manding even better conditions than they had? Tot trade at home is not a matter of loyalty, neither is it sympathy, but should be viewed from *Jt>u&inesa point. If one can do better else where, it is both their privilege and advantage to do?o; but when all things are equal, you owe it to yourself to trade at homo. Wo have examined the prices of mail order Anises. compar ing them with the wholesale cost, and find, with the exception of a few leaders, that their bus iness is done on the same margin of profit as the local dealer, and their prices on some lints, quality considered, even higher. Remember, a few live stores in a community means a high school ; add another store or two. and they support a ball team or perhaps a band ; still a few more, and a public library is made possible; as the town grows and prospers, so will adjacent farm lands enhance until they double in value every few years. On the other hand, as we tear down the homo town, we inflict an injury upon ourselves. WHICH ROAD? Which road ? This is the question ?very country community is facing today. In our community there* are only two kinds of people. And they travel on just two roads. There are "home town patriot*" and the "Out-of-Town patrons." There is the "Trade at Home" road and the "mail order" road. Which class are you in? What road are yov, taking:? It should be easy to decide. Every time wo fail to patronize home interest* w pi are boosting an outsider. Every time we take the mail order route we a^e boycotting our hotne town. Which road f Tho only answer for wt is the road to the right. KEEP YOUR PORCH COOL WITH VUDOR PORCH SHADES And the KUchen Cool with a BOSS Oil Stove.
