obtain some special sorts and tints of Berlin
wool that she needed, but could not find them
there. why does not Mrs. Blank she added.
keep full supply and a complete assortment
of such things?"
"The reason she explained to me few days
ago." the other lady replied, "when 1 asked
her for shade that she had not. She cannot
afford to keep full assortment because so
many persons make their purchases in Boston
or New York.
This incident reminds me that little lay
sermon may not be out of place just now, be-
cause soile of our people sorely need the teach
ing. 1 have reason to know that many of our
citizens are accustomed to make their purchases
of materials for dress, and even of housekeep-
ing goods, away from home. The purchase Of
some article needed at the time will be deferred
until the trip to Boston or New York, when a
general supply for the season will be obtained
Many gentlemen obtain their clothes and even
their boots away from home, and l have known
some who even sent garments to Boston for
repairs.
A story went the rounds in Portland few
years ago to the effect that one of our families
wishing to be particularly fine, purchased some
furniture in New York. On its arrival here, it
was found to bear the mark of Walter Corey, a
well known Portland manufacturer. The pur-
chaser had to pay not only the Portland price,
but New York profit and cost Of transporta-
ton both ways.
Some time since l was in china shop here,
and the proprietor showed me pretty porce-
lain ornament the price of which was three
dollars. He said Portland lady was in his
shop few days before and on seeing it ex-
claimed, so, that's precisely like one bought
in Boston last week." "And what did you give
for it?" give dollars; and what is the price
of this?" "Three dollars" Sand why do you
sell it cheaper than the Boston price?' "Be-
cause our expenses are all very much less in
Portland, so we can afford to do so''
There are people in Portland who have
tenants keeping shoe shops, dry goods, dress
goods, fancy goods, and yet make their pur'
chases away from home. What would happen
| if we should all do this? Houses and shops
''To be Let would be very numerous, and the
owners of these business places and weliings
