TRADE AT HOME
It Applies to the Printer as well as
to the Merchant
A large publishing firm sent out to
county auditors extremly low prices
on ballots. The county auditor in one
instance showed the bid to the local'
publisher and requested a bid ap
uroxiraately as low, says the South
Dakoto State College ^.agricultural
service editor. The publisher wrote
the lArge house about it and offered
to get them the job at that price.
He got an answer back something
like this: "We figured when wc
Serit out these low prices that we
could get all the ballot work in this
part of the state, but have failed to
get enough orders to make the price
possible, therefore wc cannot^ do the
work at the price."
All their low prices had done was
to make it difficult for the local men
to get a living wage for their work.
These same cheap john printing con
corns solicit banks and other large
users of printed matter on the same
basis. If tliay can get eight, twelve
or4 sixteen banks to order a large
supply of one certain form they
make a low price on this particular
job that the local printer cannot
meet. It is cut-throat competition of
the worst kind. Solicitors from these
concerns should be placed on the
black list by McLaughJin bankers
and business men who believe in' ' buy
it in McLaughlin" and supporting
home industry. ? McLaughlin (S.D.)
Messenger.
(Merchants and bankers always
want the local editor to fight for
trading at home. The principle ap
plies to the printer as it does to the
merchant. ? American Press.

delegate to the national convention

Cover is home-loving and has not
sought any preferment at the hands
of her party, yet her worth has been
recognized by an ever-increasing
number of friends, who continue to
bestow honors upon her, thus giving
due recognition to woman in her
lately-acquired role of citizen, which
carried with it the right of suffrage.

ta:ti to establish
CREAMERY HERE
I
The Carolina Creamery, Company
officials have informed Mr. M. Y.
.Tarrett, manager of the Tuckaseigee
!cc Company, that they are anxious
to establish a creamery and ice cream
plant at Dillsboro, near the ice plant, i
It is the intention of the Carolina
Cretfmery Company to establish
cream routes all over Jackson county
and take up the cream at regular
times.
The decision to establish the cream
ery here is due, to the central loca
tion, on the Murphy Division, and
to the fact that Jackson county is
naturally one of the finest dairying;
regions in the country.- ; ,
A meeting of farmers and the
officials of the Carolina Creamery
Company is to be held at the Lyric
* Theater on next Wednesday, Septem
ber 17, and all fanners of the coun
ty who arc interested are urged to
be present, as this splendid oppor
tunity for the beginning of the dairy
industry in the county is in their
hands and depends Ujkhi the extent
of cooperation they are willing to
give. . . ,
J In other words, if the Carolina
Creamery Company can find as
many as 15 fanners who are willing
to furnish cream, regularly, they will
then establish the creamcry here.
