A meeting of the church had been
called to decide upon the purchase of
new carpets.
The ladles—God bless 'em—had held
entertainments, and worked and
saved, and secured the funds, and now
the male members of the congrega
tion who had stood by and looked
wise, while their better halves were
digging tooth and nail to accumulate
the shekels, were called together to
direct them where to spend the
money.
Parson Goodman called the meeting
to order and asked Judge Mandamus
to take the chair.
“I move,” hurriedly said Deacon
Titeflst, “that we send to Chicago
and get the carpets of Catchem &
Doem, the great catalogue house.”
Dr Cureem’s wife seconded the
motion. Hon. Thomas Jones rose in
protest, “Brother and sister,” said
he, “you are making a mistake. No
community can prosper that divides
its forces. Its buyers and sellers
must work together.”
“Huh!” said Deacon Titelist, “I
believe in buyin’ where you can get
things the cheapest.”
“So do I,” answered the Hon,
Thomas Jones. “That is one reason
why I am a Johnny-on-the-spot man,
for I’ve learned that the home man
gives better goods for the money than
the catalogue man. He can’t afford
to sell shoddy goods to his neighbors.
And competition keeps his prices
down.”
"It s my priveiege to go wnere 1
please with my money,” the deacon
persisted.
“Just so. And strike your home
man when you want credit,” retorted
Mr. Jones. I’m not built that
way The man gives employment to
my boys and girls. He buys my
products and employs other people
who consume my products. Hespends
his profits in building up the com
munity in which I live. He is en
titled to my support.”
“He’s got no strings on me,” growl
ed the deacon.
“He has, If you are a fair man,”
declared the former Nebraska legisla
tor. “He is a target every time you
fire a contribution gun. When the
church was built, you were the
busiest man in town, striking business
men for donations. I never heard
that Catchem & Doem gave a penny.”
“But these here carpets”—again
began the deacon.
“You can bank on their being low
grade,” broke in Mr. Jones, made to
sell cheap. All this Catchem & Doem
catalogue stuff is. We have reliable,
responsible houses in town. Why not
buy of them? J. P. Mann & Co, sell
carpets of repute. We all know they
handle the best carpets made. What
more do you want? And a firm as
enterprising as this, that carries lines
of carpets, rugs, linoleums, mattings,
curtains draperies, a very complete
stock of up-to-date dry goods, dress
goods, ladies’ garments, notions,
men’s clothing and stylish furnish
ings, hats, caps, suit cases, fashion
able shoes for ladies, gentlemen and
the little folks, and everything good
to eat in the grocery and table sup
plies lines, is entitled to local sup
port.”
“You can get groceries cheaper by
clubbing,”, declared Dr. Cureem’s
wife.
“What kind?” snapped Hon.
Thomas Jones. “Bogus spices, imita
tion coffee, sloppy canned goods,
refuse stuff of all sorts! The club
bing grocery solicitor is one of the
worst evils we have, and when you
compare his prices with R. R. Mor
rison’s for pure, fresh and wholesome
food articles you’ll find R. R. Mor
rison’s the lowest anyhow. That’s
not all. This popular grocer offers
you a clean, big, complete stock that
comprises the best of every possible
thing in staple and fancy groceries
and fresh fruits and vegetables. Mr.
Morrison calls special attention to his
excellent Barrington Hall steel-cut
There's a very
swell line of Wash
Suits on display
at P. J. McManus'—
tan, pink, white
and blue at $10;
tan, embroidery
trimmed $9; fancy
trimmed ki ki
cloth $6.50. Great
values for the money
coffees, his as good as the best and
better than most, to Heinz’s pickled
and bottled goods, and to a nice as
sortment of queensware. Goods
delivered promptly. Phone 120.”
“I was in O. F. Biglin’s big furni
ture store, next door to the postotlice,
a few days ago,” said Parson Good
man’s wife, "assisting our daughter
to select a book case. We decided on
the Globe- Wernicke sectional book
case, because from time to time other
sections can be added at little ex
pense, as the new books accumulate,
and yet the beauty and symmetry of
the book case will be retained. In
looking over Mr. Biglin’s excellent
stock of furniture, it occurred to me
how very many really useful and
beautiful articles can be selected from
his stock. Every article will last for
years, and be of permanent value.
I saw beautiful articles of furniture
of every kind, carpets, artistic rugs
and art squares, linoleums, mattings,
curtains pretty framed pictures and a
great variety of mouldings for fram
ing pictures to order, kitchen cabinets,
carpet sweepers, mattresses, couches,
easy chairs, and the popular and
sanitary davenports and collapsable
baby cabs. There is scarcely an article
in O. F. Biglin’s stock that would not
make a valued gift for any occasion.”
“The big cities set the fashions:
why shouldn’t we get our hats at
headquarters?” argued Dr. Cureem’s
wife.
“Why shouldn’t you buy your finery
there?” sarcastically responded Miss
Makepiece Cheviot, a member of the
church choir. “One reason is, that
right here in O’Neill is the Grady
millinery store, which provides every
facility for getting everything thats’s
new and admirable in the world of
fashion. Their trimmers are quite
as expert as any from fashion’s
centers, and they are as well posted
and have as correct tastes. Being ex
pert designers, they give an exclusive
style to hats that in never found in
Catcliem & Doem’s goods. And
having compared prices, I find that
the Grady store sells high grade mil
linery cheaper than the large cities.
They invite the attention of the
ladies of O’Neill and vicinity to an
elegant stock of new spring and sum
mer millinery. They also have a
dressmaking department, and attend
to all work in this line.”
“The home merchant’s prosperity
does not Interest me,” butted in
Colonel Maneouvers.
“Then you are short sighted:” re
torted Mr. Jones. “Take the popular
clothing departmeat of P. J. McMan
us—‘The House of Good Clothes.’ His
people consume your products. His
profits are applied to improve your
town. He pays taxes to help you run
the home machine. He subscribes to
public enterprises. He sells you cloth
ing and men’s furnishing goods that
are honest, at prices that are econo
mical. He carries stocks that in ex
tent and variety are the pride of the
town, just because he is prosperous.
Interest you? I guess yes! Get the
habit of buying Hart, Schaffner &
Marx guaranteed clothing at this al
ways reliable store, where they have
but one price and the same price to
all. The satisfaction received makes
the habit a permanent one. P. J.
McManus sells the popular Pingree
men’s shoes, the Roswelle hats, new
styles in men’s furnishings, trunks,
bags, suit cases, and Kohn & Son’s
clothing for children.”
“I like to go to headquarters when
I buy,” pompously asserted Deacon
Titefist.
“Do you send to Washington for
postage stamps?” asked Mr. Jones. “I
tell you that the retailer in O’Neill
will sell to you as cheaply as the re
tailer in Sioux City, Omaha or Lin
coln or the catalogue houses any
where, and he is here to back up his
goods and correct mistakes. Take the
dry goods and notion department of
P. J. McManus’ store, for example.
They buy in the best markets. They
know how to buy close. They are
alert to meet all competition. Their
dry goods, dress goods, ladies’ ready
to-wear garments of every kind,
ladies’ wash suits, W. B. corsets,
muslin underwear, Iron Clad hosiery
for men and women, long and short
kid and silk gloves, have the guaran
tee of an honorable firm. If they are
not headquarters for low prices and
square dealing, I don*t know what the
term means. P. J. McManus’ dry
goods department is showing all the
latest weaves and fabrics in the new
summer styles of women’s wear. The
grocery department carries a complete
stock of everything good to eat in
groceries.”
“The most credulous people I know
of,” continued Mr. Jones, “are those
who send away for jewelry and watch
es. Cheap, unreliable grades are the
stock in trade of the Catchem &
Doem catalogue houses. It is easy to
fill a mail order with trash and so im
possible to get redress. With a house
like W. B. Graves’ you are safe. Back
of the fact that the goods are on hand
for inspection, is the guarantee of a
well known citizen who could not
afford, if he would, to misrepresent
quality. W. B. Graves carries the
best grade of watches, diamonds, jew
elry, sterling silver, plated ware and
clocks from the most noted manufact
urers, and does repairing promptly
and at moderate prices. lie also has
a nice line of hand-painted and fancy
china, Eastman kodaks and Kodak
supplies, and sells high-grade pianos
and small musical instruments.”
Col. Manoeuvres suggested that
certain kinds of manufacturedarticles
—notably harness—could be produced
cheapest in the big factories.
“Nobody denies that,” said Hon.
Thomas Jones. "But how about the
quality? That is what is vital to the
buyer. There is no other product
where shoddy is so freely used by un
scrupulous men. The only Simon
sure cinch against a swindle is to buy
of a man you know something about
—a man like V. Alberts, for instance,
who has been in the business here for
twenty years. His repute for honest
material, good work and reliable rep
resentation is as the page of an open
book in this community, and he
carries a stock of harness, saddles,
pads, collars, whips, lap robes, dusters,
liy nets and horse furnishings and
men's gloves, of sufficient extent and
variety to meet any demand. Mr.
Alberts does all kinds of harness re
pairing promptly and at moderrte
prices. He makes a specialty of hand
made harness. In his shoe depart
ment, he carries the famous North
Star shoes, for men, women and child
ren, and sells the reliable Singer,
Wheeler & Wilson and other sewing
machines, and needles, shuttles, oils
and supplies for all kinds of sewing
machines.”
•A. 11VOV 1V/1IUIO WUV IVUU v»*
patent medicines,” said Deacon Tite
tist, referring to the Catchem & Doem
catalogue.
“Some kinds,” said Jones. “Shelf
worn goods bought in job lots. When
I use medicine I want the best, and
to be sure of getting it I don’t patron
ize a mail order house. We all know
Pixley & Hanley to be thoroughly re
liable, and are assured of getting the
genuine quality of the goods we get.
They carry full lines of everything
known in the realm of pharmacy, and'
make a point of having it fresh and
pure. Health is too precious to take
chances with. I want to know that
the man is skilled and reliable who
ieals out my medicines. Pixley &
Hanley make a specialty of filling
physicians’ prescriptions and family
receipes from purest drugs at lowest
prices. They sell the popular copy
right novels, fine stationery, school
supplies, magazines, wall papers, Har
rison Bros.’ Town and Country paints,
and serve fine ice cream soda and all
popular soda fountain drinks.”
“The merchant himself doesn’t al
ways stick to the home-made idea,”
declared Judge Mandamus.
“Yes, and its a shame,” flashed
back Mr. Jones. “They sometimes
give their lentlre orders to outside
concerns for cigars when we have a
factory right here at home. F. W.
Schroeder’s ‘Pride of O’Neill’ and
‘The Eagle’ brands are as prime cigars
for the money as can be rolled from
tobacco. And if the majority of
cigars that are smoked in O’Neill
were made here, it would add
thousands of dollars to the trade of
merchants through the patronage of
the cigarmakers and others who
would benefit by keeping the money
in circulation at home. Smokers
should remember this and call for F.
W. Schroeder’s cigars. All cigars
made by F. W. Schroeder are high
grade workmanship, made under
sanitary conditions. ”
“ ‘Banking by Mail’ is an alluring
phrase,’’said Joseph Hustler, but how
about a little accomadation when the
necessities of business demand it?
Is it your home banker or the distant
city banker that takes care of you
when you want a few hundred dollars
for a short time for any purpose?
The Banking by Mail concerns are all
willing to take care of your money,
but when you want to use any of
theirs, that is another story, as Rud
yard Kipling says. I find the O’Neill
National Bank always ready to afford
any reasonable accommodation, they
pay me 5 per cent interest on time
deposits, and I am personally ac
quainted with its others and know
them and the bank to be thoroughly
reliable. The bank’s safety deposit
boxes are a great convenience and are
offered at a moderate rental. The
O’Neill National Bank is conceded
to be one of the leading iinancial in
stitutions of the county. It was es
tablished in April, 1901, and by con
servative and intelligent methods has
built up a large and constantly
increasing business. Its capital is
$50,000.00 and surplus and undivided
profits $10,558.87. Its vaults are elec
trically protected. The officers and
directors are: M. Dowling, president;
O. O. Snyder, vice president; S. J.
Weekes, cashier; Roy Smith, assistant
cashier, and Dr. J. P. GUligan and
II. P. Dowling.”
“Many dollars have gone for cheap
buggies,” spoke up Farmer Muohland.
“There is only one way to get
genuine quality,” said Mr. Jones.
Buy of a home man—a man like O. F.
Biglin, for example, he carries lines of
the best vehicles in stock, that in
clude many styles, and his goods are
here for inspection. His carriages
and buggies, farm implements and
wagons are sold on the honor of a
reputable house, and you stand to get
what you pay for. No foreign dealer
can ship you singly the same quality
for as little money as O. F. Biglin
buys in large lots. His work is
known as the best money can buy,
and includes the Henney buggies, the
T. G. Mandt farm wagons, the Mc
Cormick mowers, hay rakes, stackers,
harvesters and binders, Moline Flying
Dutchman cultivators, Monarch wash
ing machines, Panama refrigerators
and reliable lawn mowers. O. F.
Blglin’s double store is next door to
the postofflce.”
“It Is a source of pleasure to me to
work with good tools,” said Joseph
Hustler, the well known contractor
and builder “and I find that every
man on the job not only does better
work, but he does more of it in the
same number of hours and feels more
contented, when he has first class
tools to work with. In fact, I am
slow to employ a man who does not
carry the best tools. No Catchem &
Doem mall order kit will ever be
found on my jobs, I cannot afford to
have a man laid off several hours by
the breaking of a cheap, unreliable
mail order tool. The best is none too
good, is my motto and my own
preference in tools and cutlery is for
the Keen Kutter line. I buy them of
Neil Brennan, who carries a complete
assortment. Mrs. Hustler uses the
Keen Kutter shears and scissors, and
Joe, Jr. is mighty proud of his Keen
Kutter pocket knife. When you buy
a Keen Kutter article, you know
whpt you are getting for your money.
Neil Brennan sells the famous Majes
tic ranges, gasoline and oil stoves,
One Minute washing machines, Lin
coln Absolutely Pure paints, shelf,
bunders’ and heavy hardware and
kitchen furnishings, Yelie buggies,
Studebaker wagons, the Dcering line
of machinery, John Deere plows and
Blue Ribbon cream separators."
If you will buy your lumber and
building material of the O. O. Snyder
Lumber company’s yards it is
a guarantee of square treatment,
and his facilities in the way of a com
plete and extensive stock of best
quality interior finish, sash, doors,
lath lime, cement hair, and the best
on earth Acme hard wall plaster,
paints, lumber and all kinds of
building materials are equal to
the demands of the community. They
sells the best grades of hard and soft
and blacksmiths’ coal. Phone 32, and
you will get prompt attention.”
“The J. C. Horiskey Pure Food
grocery store is one of the hustling
business places that deserves suc
cess,” said Judge Mandamus, “and I
am pleased to know that this grocery
is keeping up its reputation fora
square deal and everything good to
eat in high grade groceries. They
carry everything to be found in a first
class grocery and are very particular
about securing the best obtainable for
their trade. Courteous treatment,
prompt service, good weight and just
as low prices as can be made consis
tent with high quality are always
accorded customers at J. C. Horisky’s
Pure Food Grocery. His fruit and
vegetable display is an attractive one
and he has at all times all that the
season affords. He sells the high
grade M hite House coffees, White
House canned goods and White House
baking powder, and has their exclu
sivesale in O’Neill. He also sells fine
teas, spices, etc., and has a fine stock
af fancy china, beautiful flamps,
queensware and dinner sets. Goods
delivered. Phone 19.”
“There’s one business the catalogue
men do not meddle with,” said Par
son Goodman, “the butcher’s.”
“But the packer does,” said Mr.
Jones. “His agents slip around and
take private orders for cured meats.
They get no encouragement from me.
W. F. Gielish supplies my table. His
market is always stocked with prime
meats of every description that I
know to be of first-class quality. And
his weights are honest, and prices
graded to the lowest market notch.
It pays to trade with W. F. Gielish’s
Gash Market, opposite the post office.
He makes a specialty of home-grown
meats, his own make of fine sausage,
sells pure lard, fine hams, bacon and
other meats, and aiways has a fine
line of poultry and other extra nice
meats for Sunday dinners and fresh
fish for Fridays. He pays the highest
market price for hides. Goods de
livered. Phone 14.”
“For the past six years,” isaid Par
son Goodman's wife, “Mrs. M. Fitz
simmons' millinery store has supplied
myself and daughters with up-to-date
and tasteful hats and millinery, and
done whatever remodeling and trim
ming that we desired. In all this
time we have never found it desirable
or advisable to go away from O’Neill
to buy anything in the millinery line.
And I know that some of my city
friends have worn less tasteful hats
than we have, and paid much more
for them. Mrs. Fitzsimmons carries
an intelligently selected stock of the
latest designs and shapes in new
spring and summer hats, and can
please the most fastidious in the
matter of trimmings. Her years of
experience in O’Neill have given her
a thorough understanding of the
needs of the community and she is
very successful in supplying hats suit
able to the individual needs of the
wearer. I find her prices very moder
ate, and in the finer grade goods es
pecially one can make a large saving
over city prices in buying of Mrs.
Fitzsimmons. She is now closing out
a line of tailored and trimmed hats at
$1.00 each, while they last.”
“Satisfaction is a much abused
word,” said Joseph Hustler. “It rep
resents what you don’t get at the
mail order house and what you do get
when yon buy any kind of horse milli
nery of J. H. Davison, at the old John
Mann store. Whether it is a light or
heavy harness, a saddle, lap robe,
whip, fly net, pads, collar, or harness
repairing—anything and everything
bought from J. H. Davison’s store
represents Satisfaction with a big S.
Just a little more than a dollar’s worth
for a dollar, both in quality and quan
tity, is J. H. Davison’s motto, and he
lives up to the motto every business
day of the year. His prices, too, are
always reasonable. I have often said
that he ought to put up a sign reading,
‘Davison’s Harness Store of Satisfact
ion.”
‘‘Saunto & Abaoucn nave neen sup
plying our family with staple dry
goods, dress goods, notions, gloves,
hosiery, skirts, and the numberless
necessities of women’s wear. Myself
and sons have bought our clothing,
hats and furnishings, and we all wear
the District 76 guaranteed shoes sold
by them. They sell trunks, bags and
suit cases, and also supply our staple
and fancy groceries and fruits. I
have always found Suuntu & Abdousch
reliable, and their goods all that they
claimed for them, and their prices
reasonable. Several of my neighbors
have dealt with them for some time,
and they are perfectly satisfied with
the treatment received and the goods
secured and prices quoted. They sell
good goods at low prices, and if any
thing comes from their store that
does not prove up to grade, they make
it right.”
“Yes, we consider that a very hand
some watch,” said Judge Mandamus,
proudly exhibiting a ladies’ size Ham
ilton movement in a James Boss gold
filled case. We are sending it to
Glasgow, Mo., where a niece of Mrs.
Mandamus will graduate early next
month from Pritchett college. No, it
was not bought from a mail order con
cern. John W. Hiber, the jeweler in
Pixley & Hanley’s, sold me that watch,
and it would worry a mail order cata
logue house to get hold of that class
of goods. Mr. Hiber carries the very
best grades of solid gold and gold-filled
watches and jewelry, sterling silver
ware in all the new patterns, an ele
gant line of diamond rings; Howard,
Hamilton, Elgin, and Walaham and
South Bend watches; Crescent, Boss
and Crown cases, all standard, and
prices to meet all competition. Mr.
Hiber does expert watch repairing
and engraving, and has had a thor
ough experience in city work.”
Deacon Titefist continued to growl,
and was heard to mutter that the
“home man has no mortgage on me.”
Hon. Thomas Jones concluded to ad
minister a knock-out blow.
“Maybe not,” Mr. Jones retorted.
“But who pays taxes to keep up com
munity expenses? Who’s the first
man you strike with a subscription
list but the home merchant? Who
helps you to keep up the schools,
churches and charities? The cata
lague house of Catchem & Doem, or
men like M. M. Sullivan,in the Golden
block? And yet you’ll propose to send
away for shoes when you should know
you can get better quality for the
money right at home. That’s blind
ness, Deacon. Here’s M. M. Sullivan’s
store carrying an elegant stock of the
latest styles of the reliable Kirkendall
shoes for the big and little folks of
both sexes, and you ask me to ignore
him and take a dead-sure chance of
getting soaked by a concern that never
spends a cent here. Deacon, you in
sult my intelligence. Mr. Sullivan’s
lines of dry goods, dress goods, ladies
skirts, shirt waists and underwear,
corsets, gloves, the Bearskin hosiery
and men’s furnishings is very attract
ive and all at moderate prices.”
“When I want something extra fine
in perfumes,” said Miss Makepeace
Cheviot, the fashionable dressmaker
and member of the church choir, “I
do not have to send away from O’Neill
for them. Gilligan & Stout carry a
large and varied stock of perfumes,
which include the highest grade goods
and something to suit every taste or
caprice. In toilet requisites and nec
essities for a lady’s bath, they have a
complete supply. Dr. Cureem tells
me that Gilligan & Stout have a very
complete line of drugs, and that he
can commend them for promptness
and accuracy in filling prescriptions.
Their new 1909 stock of wall paper will
please the most artistic taste for de
sirable designs. They sell paints,
stains, oils and varnishes. They carry
the popular magazines, sell fine
stationary, high-grade confectionary
and cigars, a large selection of souven
ir cards, and serve excellent ice cream
soda and all all kinds of soda fountain
drinks.”
“It is very convenient,” said Com
rade Sureshot, "when coming down
town for your mail, to place your order
for groceries, vegetables or fruits with
J. P. Gallagher. I rarely ever drop
In to see what Uncle Sam has brought
—and that is about twice a day on the
average—but in passing J. P. Gallagh
er's store I see something in the shape
of fruits, green vegetables, or staple
groceries, that I have a yearning for,
and it is easy to leave the order. It
isn't like sending to a mail order
house, and buying unsight and unseen
and waiting from a week to a month
for the goods. J. P. Gallagher carries
an up-to-date stock of groceries, do
mestic and foreign fruits, and a care
fully chosen stock of dry goods,
notions, dress goods, gloves, skirts,
Jackson corsets, ladies’ furnishings,
the stylish and popular Huiskamp
Bros.' shoes for men, women and
children, mens’ furnishings, hats, suit
cases, etc., all at low prices. Grocery
orders filled and delivered promptly.
Phone 04.”
"apeaging oi oangs, saiu rarsou
Goodman, “induces me to take this
opportunity to express my hearty op
probation of the motto of the Frdellty
bank of O’Neill,,‘Safety and a Square
Deal.’ If more things than banking
were conducted on the basts of ‘Safety
and a Square Deal,’the people of this
nation would be Infinitely better off.
We all know that when such reput
able men as are at the head of the
Fidelity bank promise their patrons
‘Safety and a Square Deal,’ the pledge
will be carried out. The reputation
of the officers of this bank for integ
rity is so well known that it is super
fluous for me to refer to the subject.
It pays five per cent on time deposits,
and offers the free use of Its vaults for
the protection of the valuable papers
of its patrons. Under the efficient
supervision of Cashier James F. O’
Donnell, the deposits in the Fidelity
bank have increased over $50,000.00 in
the past nine months. After July 2nd
the depositors in this bank will be ab

“When my barn was burned, it be
came necessary for me to build an
other one at ODce,” Farmer Hardluck.
“One of my neighbors suggested that
I might save money by figuring with
a mail order concern on the lumber.
I am not much of a figurer, but I
know that two and two make four.
And after getting prices from the
mail order house on the bill of stuff I
wanted, and finding out just what
the freight charges would be. I took
the result to the Bazleman Lumber
Co., and much to my satisfaction
found that I could save more than
the freight bill by buying of the
Bazleman Lumber Co., right here at
home. They supplied me with every
thing I needed in the way of building
materials and gave me excellent
quality and entire satisfaction. I
understand that this company prides
itself on the quality of the lumber it
sells and guarantees satisfaction in
every case. They sell everything in
lumber and make right prices. They
sell brick, lime, cement, plaster sash,
doors, and excellent hard and soft
coal. Phone 79.”
“When you buy of a catalogue or
mail order bouse in a distant city,”
said Joeph Hustler, “you invariably
lose in quality. Their prices fre
quently appear attractive, but when
you inspect the goods you find they
lack in quality, and the goods in many
instances are of a character that you
would not accept from your home
dealer. Speaking of quality reminds
me that John P. McManus makes
quality his watchword early and late.
He takes every possible precaution to
