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
