FROM OHIO.
Omaha, Sept.8, 188.
There is one thing about our mail order business
which can be said by very few houses in this country,
we never lose a customer who has once patronized us
through the mails. Our customers sometimes move
and get scattered and change about from one part of
the country to another, but they never forget us be
cause they never find a place where they can match
our prices and they never meet anybody who has any
thing but good to say about us and our goods. The
following letter from Ohio is only one. We have
hundreds from every state in the union that say prac
tically the same thing:

culled the ciihIi balance. At the time the
bonds were issued and the war revenue
bill passed, in a published article I stated
that before the end of the year there
would be a surplus in the treasury of
about $.100,000, 000. There it is before

it l that the statement, "i't the treas

at all. It is deposited in the national
banks and the bankers are loaning it
out and shoving the interest down in
their pockets. They are practicing the

many places they are leaving narrow
