Why Is it that many people de spise their home enterprises? If our women want a sack of flour, they think that made over the mountain is a "leetle" better than that made by our home millers, notwithstanding the fact that the machinery that grinds the "over the mountain" flour was made by the same people that made the machinery for our home millers. If they want an egg beater or a cooking stove, they go away from our home merchants and send their money to Shears, Sawbuck & Co., paying their money first and seeing the goods afterwards. If an organ or piano is wanted, many people will take chances in trusting a stranger who usually fleeces them out of any sum rang ing from twenty-five dollars to two hundred, rather than to buy from a home man whom they have known all their lives, and who is in sight to make good all his promises. Why is it, if a coat, a set of furs, a pair of shoes, or a cotton handkerchief is Deed ed, a trip to Chambersburg must be made? This criticism does not apply alone to McConnells burg. The same condition exists in other places. Saluvia people think they will do a little better down at Harrisonville; Harrison ville people go to McConnells burg; McConnellsburg people go to Chambersburg; Chambers burgers turn up their noses at their home stores, get on the train and go to Harrisburg; Ear risburgeis do their shopping down at Philadelphia; Philadel phians go over to NewYork where they have something to select from, and the New Yorkers go to Paris, and the Parisians go to tbe any place, you know, just so they can tell their friends that they got it away from home. While your home merchant may not have in stock lust what you want if you leave your or der, he will get it for you and not charge you more lor it than you would have to pay if you made a trip to the City, and you have the advantage of not having to pav for it until you see the goods. 2000 Licenses First Day.
