Should Be Spent with Bemidji Merchants Are You, Mr. Citizen, a Donator to This Worthless Cause ? Supposing you could get a little more for your money by sending away for it, don’t you think it’s your duty to pat- ronize a home merchant? All the Home Merchant asks is fair play and fair profit. It he hasn’t just what you want he can get it for you. In buying your goods elsewhere you discourage a local dealer from carrying more extensive stocks. If you buy goods outside of Bemidji, it discourages the Bemidji merchant from ordering a stock of the goods you want; in fact, he has no knowledge of the fact that you are looking for these goods unless you ask him for them. Give him a chance every time you make a purchase. He'll give you quality goods at the right price. Show him your catalogue price and let him meet it. Read his “ad,” it contains news that will interest your purse.
