SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
During the last few weeks and particularly
this meek there has been a number of solic
itors and peddlers canvassing the town for
mail order concerns. Among those that have
been called particularly to our attention was
a man canvassing for what he termed the
Real Silk Hosiery- Another taking orders for
suits, anotibef for shoes, one for house aprons
and silk lingerie and others for mail order
grocery houses, another taking orders for
printing supplies. None of these mail order
bouses pay any* license; city, county or state
ta^es or contribute to any civic enterprise,
while the local merchant is called upon to sup

Silk hose, just as good or better, can be se
