QUR BUSINESS OUT,
LOOK FOR J9Q6,
Notwithstanding all predictions
totkt contrary, indications from our
viewpoint poiut to a most prosperous
year for pJpQUth, especially in the
uercHUtile line, and we draw our
.conclusions from the following facts:
Wi.h the mills, timber intcrtsts,
brick business, farms, etc , there js
about 500.00 paid out in cash in
PI y.wju ih each week. There are
i';ver stores hero th.u in many Wwns
:'je;tr us with Jess than half this
Miouey in circulation.
It is true that the salcons having
been closed will cause considerable
trade to be lost to us for a short
v,tiino, at least. But that will not
jicill the twwn. At a conservative es
tiaiate, something like $1,000.00 a
week was spent in saloons. Some
ot thisoiou' will be sent oil to buy
Ji'juor until the class who think they
jnttst have it to live, learn they are
better oil without it. iakingall
this into consideration, there will be
.at least $500 or $600 more spent f;r
jjror.tfrieji, clothing, etc., week
flimi has heretofore been spent for
aueh things. We figure this out as
follows: The man making from
$1.00 to fsl 50 per day really needs
)t all iu his ftyaily, If ho drinks
lie must spend from one to three
dollars a week liquor, and with ibe
xiriuk cut out he will buy better food
and clothing, and more of it.
Oar merchants are living on "Easy
Street," there are so fyw of them,
and so much money that mutt be
spoilt ameiig them.
Our advertising columns tell the
tale of prosperity truer than any pen
pould describe it. They are not
having to hustle; their business is
tiit and dried fur them, and the most
4t then? are satisfied jvjih what they
jjre doing.
PIyiawutli-4o-day a better point
fvr a hitstli ug uierchaut to locate in
than can bo found in & week's travel,
Jt is far superior to those little towns
at mushroom growth so many are
rushing to.
