"A point worthy of attention of
those who patronize catalogue
houses is illustrated in story told of
the experience of gentleman who
received nine gallon keg of syrup
from one of the supply houses, pay
inc twenty cents per gallon, plus
the freight for the article. A
neighbor afterwards bought the
key and had it filled with syrup in
town. When it was reflled all
that could be crowded into it was
eight gallons, and the same grade
of syrup was sold by local dealers
for quarter gallon. From the
catalogue house the key of syrup
cost one dollar eighty and the
freight, from the home store it costs
two dollars straight. Which was
the most economical.
