things by hulves. He Is ono of our
JOlSOOq UlUJSUOD U SJ OUAV B1UUIIOJOIU
and occasionally ho takes tlmo to
boost his own business. Last week
he started a salo at tho Lcador and
when It opened thoro was a crowd a-j
bout tho door that blocked tho side
walk? Ho had advertised that ho was
going to break tho buyer's strike
against high prices and in his ad
vertisements ho said that prices wore
almost at pro-war lovols. 'When he
said that calico would sell for seven
cents and muslin for ton cents It
sounded nlmost llko twenty pounds of
sugar for a dollar used to sound. Ho
put nn orchestra at work inside tho
'tore and served light refreshments
to the customers who cared for them
and tho storo was crowded. Wo mon
tlon this because John Nelson Is one
of the merchants who this week Is
bringing buyers to North Platte.
