The merchants of Butler need a little more iron in their business make up. A set still-wait-plan will not draw trade to this city, There is plenty of money in Bates and But ler business men should wake up and go after it. Butleris the central town in the county, it has fine store build- ings filled with seasonable gocds, and should be the trading point, and there is no reason why the bulk of the trade of the county should not be done right here, except that the merchants by their own acts will let it goelsewhere. Trade is not likely to come of its own accord, but the merchants can do much in the way of increasing their business by at- tractive advertising. Letthe merch- ants put forth a united effort along this line and watch the result.
