was the popular Mrs. J. T. Wiker

COULDN'T RE8I3T IT"
That's what a certain lady who
lives near Hemlngford and who Is a
constant Herald reader said when
we saw her in Alliance Just before
Xmas. She said that she couldn't
resist the ads In The Herald by the
merchants who knew it was a food
plan to tell The Herald's readers
of It.
And did she buy? She spent e
nough money in one store right here
in Alliance to pay that merchant for
the cost of all his Xmas advertising
He knows it pays and he's a con
stant Herald advertiser.
