    IHOLT COUNTY SAND
It’s the sand they eat in their Grub that does it. Walter Roberts takes First Prize as the best judge in the United States on Fat Cattle. Hugh Campbell is al
ready a big man in the Army. Owen Meredith, Merle Kline, Joe Sullivan, Pete Ward, Charles Barrett, Gerald Miles, “Cheese” Conklin, Patsy Harty, Julius Cronin,
Frank Sanders,Earl Faulhaber,Frank Harnish, five of the Donohoes, more of the Mullens, nobody knows hew many of the Sullivans, Murphys and Dwyers, McCar
thys, Harringtons, Kellys, Gallaghers, O’Donnells, the Goldens and the Gradys, and all the other O’s. and Mc’s. are pounding out good names for themselves away
among strangers and here at home there is a bunch who started at the bottom and wormed their way forward. Its the sand they eat in their brub
that does it. They have sand in their feet that helps them stick to the slippery places. They have the sand in their mitts that keep the opportunities from slip
ping through their fingers. They have the sand in their heads which stops others from slipping any thing over them. They have the sand in their backs to stick
5f with their friends and the sand in their stomachs to fight their enemies. They have the sand to stick for the home town and the county. They have the sand to help
their friends get ahead and the sand to empty their pockets of the last cent to help any one who needs it. THAT’S WHY THEY GET AHE^D—THEY HAVE
| THE SAND. If you have the sand you can get ahead, if you have the sand to pay cash for your goods and the sand to carry them home. The sand to show you
BUY FOR CASH and sand to SAY NO to the man who offers you goods on tick. The sand to SAY NO when some storekeeper trys to get your name on the
books. That takes sand and you can’t climb on a slippery track without it. I have the sand to offer you 600 Items you use every day for less money than any other
store. I have the sand to do what I advertise and stick to my word. But I haven’t the sand to ask you to buy from me unless I can save you money. Christmas eve,
while you are thinking of those boys who are trying to make good, ask yourself, have you got the sand—to trade with John Brennan, to pay cash and save money.

NOTICE—Once I didn’t have the sand to say no. You know this is a cash store—always was. Tom Coyne couldn’t get a plug of Horseshoe here without the
money. But this night a young fellow and his wife drove up—they had been to every store in O’Neill, all Credit stores—to get shoes and stockings for the kids. But
they didn’t have the money. Then they came to the Cash store—think of it, Cash store, without money. Did they get them? You’re d- right—and can do it
again. But they can’t come back and pay for them. I have the sand to turn the man with the money down—but not the little kids without it.
A Credit store turns down the poor devil and gives credit to the ones who don’t need it.
It ain’t the advertising that gets the business, it ain’t the prices, it ain’t the location, it ain’t the Thrift stamps. It’s nothing more or less than the way the people
of this county have of helping a fellow who tries to help them. As high as prices are the people know they would be higher if it hadn’t been for this store, who g
held them down.
REMEMBER 600 ITEMS FOR LESS.

I I IT’S NICE I
It’s nice to have dollars to spend—isn’t it? m
But it’s a great deal nicer not to spend them. g
If you have a good income—good wages— aj
don’t spend every cent of it—no, not if you m
are a very poor man or a very rich man. Pile |j
up something at this Bank in an Account. gj
The spent dollar comes not back. In the very jg
last analysis the only money value to you is m
the money that is here in your Bank Account. g
“If your friend be honey, do g
not eat him altogether.”— g
