Why Is It?
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.
Over 2,000 automobile license
tags will be issued to owners of

been listed and more are expect
ed. The applications are being
handled as fast as possible and
the yellow and black tags are put
into cases and prepared for ship
ment so that the owners will re
ceive them on January 1.
