RESOLUTION.
Pointers for our Patrons.
The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on n job
s n small item when yon consider
the vnlnc of the job. It is the
price of n satisfied customer. It is
etter to make so cents less on a
job and have a customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, mnke the extra 50 cents und
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.

Interesting address at tho Coinmer

wo ihi be given n chance to secure
a r.ood block of treasury stock of
this proposed new industry, that its
success us n business venture was as
sured and that stork without doubt
would Increase to five times Its pros
out value in u very short time, und
if our people wanted to got In 011 thu
ground floor on 11 good thing the
opportunity wns now open. The re

C. Couch nnd "Karon" Edlefsen,
who were sent by the Commercial
club to Investigate the proposition at
Salem and whoso expenses were
paid by Mr. Woynnt, was road. It
