Numerous vocal and instrumental selections 'wore given during the evening. ' THE STR-1DY• ADVERTISER WILL BEAT THE MAIL ORDER An ;exchange says that one of the most unaccountable feature of rai- 1 vr trsing in the towns and smaller er 1 ciftiesi is that the merchants in I these planes make the mistake of withdrawing their advertisements frtom the local papers during the dull Nelsons and particularly after the Christmas and New Year's boli days, just at the time when all the ivfail Order houses are making their most •dleapenate efforts, to work off their surplus stock and are flooding the mails with their of- fers of great "bargains." Just fan cy what people would think of the local merchant who offered his cuettom,ers goods at less than fifty pier ceet off previous anti regular pnireee For example one Mail Or- der house .offers Coon coats selling i(egular at from $110 to $120 for 550, and othler alluring offers ere adv!ertlilse,d, One cannot but won- der whether the price t pt which. It nese goods are said to be worth is net an extortuenate price or if the Mail Order house is not lying in order to mike people think they ane getting something for nothing. No legitimate business can be car - riled on, With genuine fifty per gent reductions, -and when one re- membeps !that one Departmental Store is ,Said to have made a pro- file of over; a million dollars last year, it strengthens the suspicion that people are not gettlin the, "bargains" they are led to believe and !expect, It is a safe bet that a man who gets goods exceeding- ly low priced musk be getting in- ferior goods'. Our Departmental Stolle gives its orders, "Make .us so many articles that we can sell alt so much," and of cotihsie the housle must make inferior goods or lose money, and none us are in businless for our health.
