After all the hocus-pocus, rigmarole and fiddle-faddle

there is any chip-on-the-shoulder play or high-hat behav
ior, let us all discourage it. It has become the vogue late
ly to jump on the “middle man.” Once in awhile a mer
chant will get the grandiloquent idea of buying direct fron
a mill and cutting out the “middle man.” That’s like send

merchant must have immediate service on a cariety oi
merchandise, and he must have credit for the prompt dis

and the merchant needs the “middle man.” The com

community.
