Why do Baws and Bear Buck get no
many orders for goods? The answer
is simply phis : They advertise ; they
get right into the homes and make
their appeal, There is a suggestion in
this for our business men. The local

do that he has no right to squeal be-
cause others do and get the business
that ought-to remain at home,
