The harness-maker, Jn turn, fends away for hl« groceries, boots, Mioes and clothing. The ehoe-m«ker * JUS away for his coat, ami the tailor, lor his booti. and so It goes. As a rjs~ fiilt the tajrmers, com ing into toWn, to , >trkde. see all the tradesmen sending to other towns for goods heemse they say they enn save money by so doing, come to the conclusion that they can rlo better elsewhere, and t4ien evfcry-- body growls about * bad times and no business. N"o wond« r! The business me-, themselves turn the tide or trade elsewhere, for if they can supply them­ selves to better advantage by depriv* log their neighbors of thtir trade, oth­ ers learn to try the same experiment. It is a dangerous one to inaugurate lor even if a trifle can be saved In the pur* chase of a harness, a pair of hoots^ a suit of clothes, a hat, a barrel of flour or a yard of calico, ten dol ars are lost . where one is saved and the e> tire bust- n« ss of the place goes to decay The fact is th*y gain nothing but. IJSS in sending away their trade from them­ selves. Show us a town in which peo pie make it a rule not to send away for anything they ca 1 get at liotne, and we will show you a town in which business is lively ami everybody busy and trade entering from abroad^ Prices are low and tradesmen patron­ ize each other, having iio suspicion lhat confidence will be abused. Let it once be understood that the business iiu-ii of any town are in the habit ot' sending abroad for their purchases and the business of the town will languish. Having no confidence in each other, how can they expect others to have confidence hi them? Thai's not the way to build up a town. 1'atronite each other, and keep all youf business at home. Please-remember that our stock in every department is very complete and that our prices are always th« lowest that can be made. We will not be undersold by any bouse in McHenry Co. Henry Colby.
