The merchants of Ashland are sell ing goods at very low prices and at wonderfully close margins, and some are going even farther by actually advertising to give away, free, a number of articles. These free gifts, however, are selected entirely from merchandise handled by other busi ness men. If a merchant can afford to make presents, why does he not select his gifts from his own stock, and thereby avoid any injustice to wards fellow business men? How would it appear to certain busi ness men and to the public in gen eral, should a jeweler, grocer, dry goods merchant, piano dealer or meat market offer as a gift a buggy usually selling for $55, at the price of $150? Such an offer could not look good to a buggy man, at least.
