Everybody Welcome
Vanished Women.
1 can’t find the old lime dame
(though throughout the land I’ve
raked) who enjoyed a noble fame
based upon the bread she baked;
based upon, the cakes and pies
she compounded passing well;
cakes that charmed the gloating
eyes, pies that bound us with a
spell She has vanished, dame
sublime, hidden somewhere in
the mist; and her daughters
spend their lime playing silly
games of whisl. Where are all
those women now, who in olden
times Would meet to discuss new
kinds of chow, pickles sour and
pickles swdet; who pul up a stock
Inf jam to relieve I he winler’s
grief, who could dellly cure a
ham or salt down a side of beef?
They are gone, and never more
shall we see I heir like, I wist;
and lheir daughters hold the floor
with their dizzy games of whist.
Where are now I In* good obi
dames who kept house in proper
style, working at their quilling
framds, knitting stockings by the
mile; who, absorbed in household
chores, thought their time was
thrown away if they left their di
vers doors for a quarter of a day?
Gallivanting was a crime that
was frowned upon and hissed;
bul their daughters spend their
time playing dippv games of
whist. W AI.T .MASON.
Give Your Neighbor an Equal
Chance.
If you have been buying goods
of a mail order house you doubt
less think it has been to your ad
vantage to do so. You have be
lieved that you were saving mon
ey or were getting better goods.
Let us see if this is true.
Have you tried to do business
with your local merchant—your
neighbor—on the terms that the
mail order house exacts No?
Then suppose you try it.
Just go into the store, plank
down your cash and tell what you
want. You might even tell the
merchant that you will wait a
few days for the goods. See it
your local merchant can’t serve
you better and as cheaply as the
mail order house.
The local merchant usualy ex
tends credit for two, four or six
months. The mail order house
demands cash in advance. It
uses your money as working cap
ital. It loses nothing in inter
est, nothing in bad debts or on
slow paying customers. Try this
cash in advance plan on the lo
cal merchant—the man you know
—and see if he can’t make it to
your advantage to spend your
money where you make ft.
