The tendency of the times is toward a will-o’- jj
* the-wisp called “cheapness.” J
V ’ While prices have been going down, qualities
9 * have been going down too, and deception has be- * *
jjj' come so widespread as to almost pass unnoticed. 'jj
We lay it down as a principle, eternal as the * k
2* hills, that “cheap” things are never cheap. They ' t
2 * are neither durable nor satisfactory. *
I' You have got to pay a fair price 'jj
if you want to get a good article.
)5 Good things cannot be purchased at the price of ( £
(, bad things. Tinware is no exception to the * ?
C rule. No one can sell an absolutely “straight” 2
( ( article for less money than we can. J
There are several grades of Tinware. We

Every precaution should betaken
to prevent contagious diseases, in
cident to the heated term, from ob
taining a foothold in this city. An
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Back alleys, cor
rals, and streets where stagnant
water and filth are allowed to ac
cumulate should have a thorough
cleaning out, and the cleaning out
process should be attended to at
once. Delays are dangerous.
