Folk a Friend of Papers
Jefferson City Mo July 18 Gover
nor Joseph W Folk in addressing the
retail merchants of Missouri at their
convention here yesterday spoke against
the mail order business and favored ad
vertising in the town papers He said
in part
We are proud of our Bplendid cities
and we want them to increase in wealth
and population and we also want our
country towns to grow We wish the
city merchants to buid up but we also
desire the country merchants to prosper
I do not believe in the mail order cus
tom If a place is good enough for a
man to live in and make his money in
it is good enough for him to spend his
money in it
No merchant can succeed without
advertising in some way or another
Patronize your town papers build them
up and they will build the town up in
crease your trade and greater opportun
ities Do not be afraid that business is
going to be hurt by the recent exposures
of wrong doing in the commercial
world No man who is doing an honest

business will be bettor for the cleansing
process it is going through and for the
stamping out of the evil
