In one Of our Illinois exchanges bust
ness house devotes half paper TO demon
sttating their ability to meet aud in many
instances to do even better than the
prices quoted by the large houses in the
cities who sell to country customers by
catalogue. Such comparison of prices
would be valuable ad. in the Arkansas
Valley. Our merchants are most OF them
large buyers, and cash BUYERS. and there
are rare cases indeed where they cannot
and will not meet the prices quoted by
these catalogue houses. What il also
worth consideration is tina. you eau see
the article and know that it is perfec.
and what 1t represented to be. Another
important fact is that the home merchant
is in reach of his customers and will make
good any mistake, defect or irregularity,
while the city fellow will treat you with
unconcern after he once has your money.
In the long run 1t is economy and good
sense to patronize the home merchant,
and we are glad to know that many of
our people have already learned this to
be u fact.
