No city can grow and prosper if we send away for everything-we may want. However, there are a great many j eople who unfortunately, look at this thing in this light. They send liway for their groceries, . when we sum beat the eastern merchants with bands down; they' send away for their clothing when we have Just as good here at home. In fact there are so. many people 'who - have this send away habit that it is like a disease, it seems to have impregnated ,the whole body politic:-?-- r. ; -; t-;. We are gatting big and mighty.
