F. TATMAN, THE CASH
MERCHANT.
Olaee,'Mioh,, Oct, 29th, 1897.
3TARMEES:—Bring in your Eggs and Butter;
we want it, and will sell you anything in Shoes or
Groceries cheaper than any other supply house in
Michigan.
Any farmer that will bring me his order as
given to the parties who tried to make you believe
(Jlare merchants were charging enormous prices, I
will fill the same for 25 per cent, less than your
"bill calls for. except sugar, which I will sell at the"
same basis as mentioned in your order, and if you
want spices alone, as spices, appeared to be the
largest part of all the orders, I will fill every order
for spices at 40 per cent, less than your order calls
for, and all of'my goods will be endorsed by the
State Food Commissioner as Pure.
We have no Russia tea at 76 cents per pound.
Russia never raised a pound of tea and never will.
But I will sell you a pound of the best Japan tea
that can be bought anywhere in Michigan for 45
cents.   Gall and get a sample by asking for it.
I have no molasses at 67 cents per gallon, but
will sell you good molasses at 30 cents per gallon—
such as our best customers use. Come and see who
is the fraudulent merchant. "We, as business men
of Clare, cannot afford. to defraud the farmer as
strangers would try to make us appear, as all our
interests are mutual. Any business man who is
interested in the welfare of his business cannot and
will not misuse his costomers at any time by overcharges or by selling poor goods.
My goods come from such reliable firms as
Symon Bros. & Co., Phipps, Penoyer & Co., Lee &
«;ady, W. .7. Gould & Co., Berdan cfe Co., C. Elliott
«& Co. and many other such firms, and they are not
affraid to bill their goods to us on bills with their
names printed thereon. They do not take orders
of us as a firm of one name and send us a bill made
out in another firm name.
Farmers, stand by the Clare merchants. I believe, as a whole, they mean to do right by you.
Yery Respectfully,
J. F. TATMAN.
SEEMS TO BE SURE.
New Railroad Projected Into Clare Gountij
From the North.
PTalkaslca, Mich,, October 26.—The
much talked of Grand Rapids, Kalkaska & Southern railroad bids fair
to soon become one of the arteries of
commerce in Michigan's railroad system. Up to a very re'eent date, al
though work has been in progress for
several weeks, the nromotei's of the
scheme, the most prominent of whore
is the Hon, William Alden Smith, of
Grand Rapids, have been somewhat
reticent as to their plans, and many
people haye thought ifc merely a logging road which, penetrating a section
heavily timbered wifch hardwood, its
objective point being an extensive
tract of valuable pine a considerable
distance southeast of here, would,
when bbe timber became exhausted,
be discontinued. Now, however, Mr.
Smith, who it seems has been busy interesting Boston capitalists in the enterprise and has met with success,
talks freely of the project, and says It
means much for Kalkaska and fche undeveloped portion of the state, rich in
forest products, and the soil of which
Is in the main valuable for agricultural
purposes. Starting at Van Buren, on
theO. &W. M. R. R.. the new line
runs to Kalkaska. From thence it
will be pushed along on the survey of
the defunct Detroit, Charlevoix &
Escanaba railroad, with the same ob-
iective point, viz: Harrison, on the E.
& P'. M. R, R., in Olare county.

I Some Persons Try Them to Their Sorrow.
I A short time ago a foreign grocer
came to bhe cifcy and succeeded in gulling in a certain measure a few persons
in Clare and surrounding country. He
told them how cheap his goods were
and how much better they were than
those which could be bought in Clare,
and succeeded in taking a few orders.
The goods came the first of the week
and then the persons who had bought"
the articles were told by friends that
they were being swindled and a comparison of prices showed up as follows
in favor of Clare merchants:

Freight Drayage and packing
In favor o£ Clare merchants....$4.88
The above prices would show up
much more in favor of the Clare merchant if an order was given at onetime
for as large a bill of goods. Another
thing, Olare merchants don't add in 90
cents for freight.
People ought to be fully convinced
by this time that our home merchants
can nofc be undersold. There are a
large number in business here and
that competition among themselves
keeps the prices down. Our merchants are in no combine to keep prices
up. Our merchants are reliable; if
they happen to sell you goods bhat are
not as represented you know where to
And them to haye the same set right.
Our merchants receive their money
from this community and spend it
back again. Their homes are here.
They help support our local and county
goverments, and schools and churches.
It is not only right that you should
patronize them, but you will save
money by so doing.
On a Serious Charge.
