The mail order have found that they can do good business there. As The People-iSeWtinel beliewa local concerns should be patronised ia preference to those located in near or distant cities, we sincerely hope that a copy at thin issue will not fall into the hands of any enterprising mail order house* for they would at ease arrive at the conclusion that this is a splendid territory in which to send their catalog*, judging by the LACK of local advertising this and would probably entice sway dollars that should go to the upbuilding of this community.
