home merchant- an you imagine it. The home merchant it interested in you and the town. It is he that sits up with ydur sick or dead; it is he that helps keep up your roads, that pays for the school, that helps build churches, that donates to every cause that comes along. Considering all these things we can't see how auyone here would trade by the mail order route simply because they might save for the day a few pennies on some trifling article. Yes. it is beyond us. The same people wear out the home sidewalk the home merchant builds. Does it look fair ? I i I i Noisiest Bal! Fan I Baltimore boasts of the nolsl eet baseball rooter.

"We have one great asset in our pitching staff." says Pat Moren, man ager of the Cincinnati Reds, "and that's different styles of deliveries.

Each of the four great right-handers had hla own method of delivery, his own set of curves, and not a particle of similarity between any two of them.
