OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS - THE STORES NEAR HOME, . A woman who lives in one of the larger cities, but some distance-from the center of town, decided to do her Christmas, shopping at the stores near her own home instead of going, down to the big shops in the heart of the city. She was well re- paid for her decision. . G Her Christmas list contained the usual items for a family of comfortable means and wide ramifications. She discovered, to her delight, that there was no article on it, beginning with furni- ture, jewelry and ending with small kitchenware, which she could not buy at these stores. The stocks generally were chosen with taste, and prices were a little lower than she would have paid in the great institutions where she had formerly done her Christmas trading. She combined her shopping with her daily marketing She was neither jostted by crowds nor unduly fatigued, and was better satisfied with the result of her purchases than she had been for years Aside from the personal advantage which she derived, she gained a new understanding of what the home merchant is try- ing to do, and a new comprechension of what it means to him to have that patronage upon which his success and his expansion depend From now on she will give him not only all possible| Christmas trade, but general trade as well, knowing that it will he to their mutual advantage. . The same reasoning applies still more strongly to patronage of one’s own stores in a city the size of Bemidji as compared with the distant big city stores. Most sensible Christmas shop- pers have already learned this, but there are still too many who drawn by the lure of crowds and the prestige of mere size, waste strength, time and money in buying far away what they could buy far more profitably near at hand. Profit by buying at home.—Exchange. e R SHOULD HAVE FED HIM SOUP. What strange turns justice takes sometimes!

The greatest test of any medicine is the “repeat” sales it enjoys. Tan- lac’s phenomenal record has been pos- sible ‘because of the fact that the men and women who buy one bottle invariably return for the second and recommend it to others because it has helped them. Tanlac has been on the market now a little over five years. It has stood the acid tést of time. It is known and honored in every city, town, village and hamlet on the American continent from Key West, | Florida, to the northern wilds in Can- ada, where even the Indians and fur- traders have learned of its wonderftil powers as 4 medicine.
