DON'T PATRONIZE PEDDLERS.—Give peddlers the cold shake. Their interests are no concern to you. They have no business reputation to sustain and are more likely to skin out, than not. There is absolutely not one single advantage in buying from peddler, therefore give the itinerants the shake. There is not an article they sell that cannot be bought as cheaply of the dealers in your own town, who pay taxes and help to build it up, while the peddler does nothing for us. Trade with the merchants and let the peddlers go.
