E. E. Danforth of Saginaw, proprietor

house in the state. Miss Goodman's
career is an example of what young
people with determination to succeed
can do and is only another proof that
determination to succeed, basked by
an indomitable will, will "find a way
or make it." We congratulate Miss
Goodman on her achievements and
hope that she will go on and on to
greater success.
Mason county farmers who purchased steel ranges of the St, Louis
salesmen who recently visited that
section of the state, now realize that
the home dealer is, after all, the best
men to trade with. Steel ranges were
sold the Mason county farmers for
sixty-five dollars—in Cadillac the same
range Is sold for thirty-five dollars.
The farmer gave a three-years' note
for the amount, and considered himself a financier. Now comes the collector who holds a three-months' note,
and he wants the money. The collector knows nothing of the verbal,agreement made by the salesman—he is
sent to collect only. And the Mason
county farmer—like the farmers of'
other counties where the steel range
salesman has worked—is paying that
three-months' note. It is to be hoped
that hereafter when a steel range is
needed the home dealer will be given
the preference. He pays his portion of
city, county and state taxes, has an
active interest in the welfare of his
neighbors and customeis, and will not
ask sixty-five dollars for a range worth
but thirty-two dollars.—Cadillac News
and Express.
