ASTONISHES HIS SPECTATORS
Exhibition of Fancy Shooting Given in
Interest o f Local Concern Handling
Peters Cartridges. — Some of the
Captain’s Stunts.
Capt. A. H. Hardy, representing the
Peters Cartridge Company, gave an
exhibition in Cottage drove on Tuesday
afternoon in the interest o f the
(iriffin-Veateh Company, local repre
sentatives.
A comparatively large
number o f spectators, including several
ladies, were in attendance, and all mar
velled at the wonderful feats performed
by the captain with rifle, revolver and
shot-gun. The clever work done by
this "sharpshooter” includes: With a
rifle he hits small iron washers, thrown
into the air, pennies, marbles, etc.,
even shooting through the small holt
in the washer, which is pasted over
with paper; hits a small wooden ball
three and four times, and a tin can tiv<
times before it touches the ground;
hits small objects with rifle in all
sorts o f positions, while looking into a
m irror; also shoots objects with rifie
resting at hip, ejects a .22. cartridge
from rifle, reloads, and hits it while it
is in mid-air. This is no doubt the
most difficult trick performed by any
expert. Captain Hardy gives an ¡mi
tation o f a gattling gun, and shoots th<
profile o f Washington, Bryan, or any
person suggested by the audience. One
o f these is on exhibition at the Griffin-
Veatch Company’s store. The splitting
o f cards edgewise with a rifle bullet is
another of the captain's accomplish
ments.
With a six-shooter in each hand, he
hits two objects at a distance o f twenty
feet, one swinging and the other sta
tionary, shooting both revolvers simul
taneously. With the shot-gun fie hits
a tin can six times in mid-air; lays the
shotgun on the ground, throws two
objects in the air and hits both; throws
four objects in the air and breaks all
before they touch the ground ; ejects
empty shell from gun and tears it to
pieces before it touches the ground.
In this and many other interesting feats,
Captain Hardy uses an ordinary repeat
mg shotgun with I’eters factory loaded
shells.
That Capt. Hardy is a most wonder
ful shot is shown by the fact that he
has broken 1000 balls without a miss.

THE MAIL-ORDER HOUSE.
Cottage Grove Merchants Are Entitled
to Your Patronage.
The mailorder house has doubtless
entered the privacy o f your home with
its many-paged catalogue, illustrating
all kinds of merchandising and quoting
high and low prices. There is much
sophistry in what they say hut so
plausible is their story o f savings that
the buyer must be almost an expert to
detect the Maws in their arguments as
well as their goods. The mail order
house has made a study o f publicity
and pushes its cheap goods in its liter
ature to gain attention, and talks
quality for high-priced articles and
larger profits. These stores bad an
exclusive field a few years ago in the
small artieles sold at almost cost, but
business has grown so in the home
market that cash can buy at the local
stores more goods for the same money
than it is |xissihle to get at a mail
order house.
While we might easily show the
moral side of the question and thus
prove that the profits o f your trade
here remain at home institutions help
pay for wise administration o f govern
ment, and otherwise make life worth
living in this community, we do not
desire to ask for trade on such grounds
alone, just as it is, but we want the
local buyer to give the home merchants
an op|xirtunity to meet the aggressive
competition o f the mail order house.
The retail trade is no longer tin
silent force that it was a few years
ago. Men o f capital, experience and
executive ability have learned how,
when and where to buy. They are in
close touch with the manufacturer,
having as free access to first cost as
any competitor. This is not alone in
farm implements, vehicles, hardware,
etc., but in textile fabrics, men's,
women’s and children’s wares, jewelry,
drugs and every line o f manufactured
goods. Tin1 motto o f the retail store
is not so high, hut how low if can sol
to make one sale an advertisement for
a permanent customer. So intense has
business become that the retail mer
chant is acquainted with what prices
are charged by all competitors in fiis
line. The mail order catalogue is not
a closed book to him. He knows what
tempting deceptions are made his le
gitimate trade to divert the coin o f the
realm from your own community. He
knows that the medium o f exchange
should not lie sent away and the arteries
o f commerce impoverished at home to
swell the blood o f the centers o f trade
the metropolitan cities.
He has read the prices o f the mail
irder house and can enlighten you on
■ithor weakness, because your trade
is necessary to fiis lift'. And you know
self pre; ervation is the first law o f na
ture. If you have a mailorder catalogue
and expect to send another fat order
away from home, give your home mer-
hunt the courtesy of trial to compete.
He could ask no more, hill do you not
think lie i entitled to at least this
much?
