Tho result was that he bought his furniture furni-ture in Logan, shipped It to Salt Lake city and on a comparatively small bill of good saved several dollars. A gentleman gen-tleman who went to Salt Lake on a lecent excursion bought a suit of clothes there. He paid MifiO. On his return to Logan he chanced to come across exactly the same pattern, style and quality of suit. .lust for Information lie Inquired as to the cost and was told I7.oO. He has been kicking himself ever since. We recall another Instance of several weeks ago In which a Logan family sent to Salt Lake for a certain style range pictured pictur-ed to the best advantage in a catalogue. cata-logue. These people had looked over the langcshi various houses in this city, but that cut in the catalogue took their eye and the price was something some-thing like two dollais less than home iieoplc would supply the range for. The money was sent but when the range came, severe disappointment came with it. The catalogue cut was was an exact likeness, but failed to show that the range was of diminutive diminu-tive sl.c, a dinky alfalr, and of course the family had failed to pay much attention at-tention to the advertised dimensions. Tho local dealer would have sold the same kind of stove for half the money.
