There is a little of the gambling instinct in nearly every man and women, and thats why we have since childhood been willing to take a chance on getting something sight unseen. It is this tendency to take a chance that is today retor the 'immense sponsible business in the big Chicago mail order houses. There wouldnt be one of them in existence were it not for that in gambling trait so almost every one that desire to take a chance and to get a bargain sight unseen. How much more satistactory it is to walk into a store here in Payson and ask to see something you have noticed advert your home paper. Does the merchant hide the article behind the counter and tell you that you cant even see it until you buy it and put the money in his hands? Hardly. If the article is not already in plain sight he lays it before you. He doesnt ask your money until you have become satisfied that it is exactly what you want. And even then he doesnt insist upon your paying all of the bill right on the spot. Besides, you dont have to pay a delivery man 50c for delivering to your door something you bought sight unseen, throwing yourself and your money upon the mercy of a merchant several hundred miles away. Theres a world of difference between buying at home and by mail. And there is also a lot of truth in the statement that the farther from home you send your dollars the longer it takes them to get back. deep-roote- d L We Have Secured the Agency for this Wonderful Machine for Utah and Juab Counties, and Have a Car on Exhibition for Your Inspection.

The average citizen little realizes what a good band like ours means to a town. Indirectly the band advertises the town much more than is generally known. Wherever the organization goes it creates a good impression among people, and when anyone thinks well of the band they are most favorably impressed with the town in general. When ever we have any special occasion that needs boosting the band is called on to help, and in good many cases very little remuneration is given them. 1:15 1.M A CONCERT Mileage Book will aave you money, Inveetigate Ask the Agent.
