Santa Anna Man Cast
The First Republican
Vote in Coleman Co.
The election of Tuesday has caus-
ed some of the older citizens of
Coleman to take a retrospective
view of things political in Coleman
county and J. C. Dibrell said this
morning he remembers the first re-
publican vote ever cast in the county.
It was cast by t. C. Leedy of Santa
Anna, Mr. Dibrell said, at a time
when it was not very popular and
Mr. Dibrell was one of a committee
of cattlemen who at one time called
on him’’and asked him not to black
the democratic ticket. Mr. Leedy,,in
addition to being a sheep man and
a republican, had come to' the coun-
ty from Indiana, and he refused to
fail to vote his convictions.

Be Sure Before You Buy!
1 iardly a week passes that some
bouse-to-house salesman does not ap-
pear in Coleman. Sometimes be
travels in a group, working the town
street by street and house by bouse.
He sells hosiery, blankets, grocer-
ies, home remedies, and household
conveniences. Usually he knocks the
home merchant and tells the lady of
the house that she is being robbed by
the local retailers.
By such tactics, he frequently con-
vinces his prospective rustomer that
he can offer a much higher quality at
a much lower price than the Coleman
merchant. -

We venture to say that there is not
a merchant in Coleman who would not
be glad to compare merchandise and
prices with the transient bell-ringer.
■ * " _ ■ I, •, _
If he tells the1 truth, the salesman
at your door will have to admit that
house to house canvassing is the most
expensive form of distribution,: and
that high pressure methods, in sales-
manship must be employed to obtain
profitable volume.-
/■* //' better to be “hif'h pnewured" into bur-
• irtp tin article jrom a stronger, ot is it safer to
buy from your local merchant, whose reliability
is recbgnizcd?•
