THE BATTLE CRY OP j
PATRIOTIC CITIZENS
It is the duty, of every Tacoma citizen
to call for Tacoma made goods, and make
it a point to have no other. ../,;■.'
The department store is cutting out the
small dealer and selling some things below
cost to make a hit. Now, how can they
do Tacoma any good by sending East
for everything and selling below cost as
a bait? Eastern manufacturers of candy
don't pay taxes in Tacoma; they don't
help build up our' city, .lolls makes as
good candy as can be made by any firm
in the East, and sells it at the lowest
price; then why not patronize a fellow
citizen in preference to an Eastern manu
facturer?
"Home industry" should be our watch
word and we should help those who help
us. ' Every penny sent East out of Ta
coma is a penny -less to help our own
city and its citizens. Therefore, again, I
fay. let us_buy goods made in Tacoma.
.•i,ll-i is working day and night in making
the best candies and is selling them at
the lowest • possible prices. ■'■ '
Special rates to Sunday Schools,
Churches, Lodges, etc. • SPECIAL SALE

THK "KNOCKER."
"Knocking" in its present Ugly signi
ficance is a comparatively new word, but
it stands for a condition of mind ok old
as man. This peculiar condition of mind
IS not a desirable one and in found most.
often in one who, while he believe* that
the world owes him a living, has tailed
to do his iiarl and collect it.
The "knocker" knocks hardest hi* ene
mies, who are invariably those who have
succeeded in doing what hi' might have
done, but when enemies fail the "knocker"
does not, spare his friends.
He who knocks is jealous, ugly, Hellish
and indolent. He spends time which could
be employed to advantage trying to con
vince the world that lux enemies and
friends are as jealous, as ugly and selfish
a- he is.'
Though the "knocker" aims at others,
lie il is who is always hardest hit. Always:
bruised and bleeding, he lavs his sorenew
ami distress at someone else's door, but
the truth is that in knocking others he
has injured himself.
The "knocker" is not harmful, lie makes
too much fuss), he talks too much, he.
carries his hammer always in his hand,
everyone knows him.
