A decided improvement in tho appearance of that part of the French Block which is occupied by the Columbia Furniture Man ufnetoring Co. bus been made. Tho store front has been painted and tho displuy in the show windows of the articles which this firm manufactures has ad ded greatly to the cheerfulness of that locality. Judging from thesigns in their windows they are placing on sale such articles ub they manufacture at factory cost prices, to more quickly ac quaint the people of St. Johns with the quality of the goods manufactured right here in our own city. They also do all kinds of furniture repairing in a first class manner. It would be well for the peoplo of St. Johns to patronize home industry and thereby not only make n big sav ing for themselves, but also sup ply work for our men. Statis tics have proven that for every $5 worth of goods turned out of n factory one man can be given one day's employment. It would be well for all to consider this and leave your money in your home town. You don't plant oats upon a hill, A hundred miles away, And somewhere else, your corn to drill, You know would never pay. You plant nt home to get the yield, Whatever crops are grown : For planting in some other field Will never help your own. And it's the sume with dollars; For dollars, too, are seed, The cash today, you uend away, Tomorrow you may need. Don't send your cash away to roam; But wiser learn to sow: Just plant your dollars here at home And watch your dollars prow.
