COMPANY L. of the 3d Regiment, recruited in the
town of Lott, in the heart of Texas, -refused to
take the Federal oath when it reached the border.
Under the threat of drastic punishment the men re
lented. In Sunday's Public Ledger George Pattullo asks
"What caused these men to fail in their duty when the
crisis came?" He answers the question in one word,
"Socialism," and shows how the Southwest is honey
combed with a breed of Socialism thrice as insidious as
the Anarchistic red-flag Socialism of the cities.

is true.
Now listen to reason. A manufacturer mak
ing pianos sells them to the dealer at a manu
facturer's profit; then the dealer, after paying
this profit, cost of handling, carting, etc., sells
them to you, plus his profit, which is large. In
other words, you pay the manufacturer's profit,
dealer's profit, cost of handling, etc.
On the other hand, if you buy your Piano
direct from the maker, you eliminate all these
in-between profits that add no value, and you
save $150 to $200.
By direct dealing from factory-to-home you
save all the costs which add no value. As
manufacturers, we create value; the jobber and
dealer add costs.
