about getting cheaper prices at the
mail order house.
If that were true, said the
merchant, | wouldn't complain bit.
Ii you could save money by ordering
of the mail order houses, which are
| the bitterest enemies of this town,
wouldn't say word. Not counting
all the things that / have said-the
fact that you are hurting the value
of your own farm when you hurt this
town; the fact that the merchants
here Tor at whatever town you trade, J
take your produce and lose money on
it, and give goods in exchange; the
fact that you can get credit here
when you haven't the cash, and can
always bring goods back and exchange
them when they are not satisfactory;
and the fact that you or any of your
neighbors who are in hard luck can
always get financial help from the
merchants here; in spite of all these
things, if you could get things cheaper
at the mail order houses than you
| can here, | wouldn't complain. But
| you can't. You have a have a cata-
logue that you can sit around and
study in the evenings, and the prices
in it look cheap because you have
plenty of time to study them, and the
descriptions are written in fine
language. But if you will bring in
your catalogue aud look through my
store, and compare prices right
through and if | don't furnish you
the same articles, quality considered,
cheaper than the mail order house
does, | will give them to you. And
you won't be buying anything by a
book description either. You will see
the goods and try them on, and in
spect the quality, and get whatever
guarantee there is on them, and if
they don't suit you afterward, there
will be no trouble or risk in exchang-
ing or replacing them.
Well, / guess you are about right,
said the man thoughfully.
Of course I'm right, and the more
you think about it the more you'll
believe what I've said. Here you
come into my store asking me TO
favor you by exchanging goods that
you have bought from a mail order
house. They make the profit on the
sale, they got your cash, they ran no
risk, they will not exchange it for
you unless you pay all charges of re-
shipment and prove that it is not
satisfactory; and even if they exchange
it for you, you may and you may not
get what you want. They pay no
taxes here to help run the county ex-
penses and educate your children.
They do nothing whatever to help
this town or this county or you; and
their prices are not as cheap every
thing considered, as those of the
home merchants. If you really know
how to save money and help yourself
you would never spend a cent with
them. They make profit on their
goods or they wouldn't be in business.
And if anyone is to get the profit,
why not give it to the merchant at
home?

MAIL ORDER HOUSES

ponder 1t applies to our business
and professional men as we'll as to the
farmer here mentioned.
A man went into one of the Havre
stores the other day, and asked if the
merchant would oblige him by ex-
changing pair of shoes that he had
bought from mail order house, for
for similar pair Of another size from
the merchants stock. The merchant
almost tainted at the mans gall, but
he was an obliging merchant, and so
he did not get angry. He asked the
man why he did not return the
article to the mail order house and
have it exchanged.
Because | have to return it at nav
own expense" said the man, ''and
even then | stand chance of not
getting what I want. The cost Of
returning it would be considerable.
and it might get lost on the trip, and
just thought maybe you could sell
it to some one else, and could let me
have a pair that fit me from your
stock"
The merchant looked sharply at the
man to see if he was joking or didn't
know any better, and seeing that it
was only the latter, he told him he
would exchange the article for him.
And he did, and the man was very
nr0fr1Cn in hic J,oy FL ~
mediation.
And then the merchant told the
man in gentlemanly way, just what
he had done. He said:
"My friend, you live in this com
munity. You own ranch that cost
you SIS or $40 an acre, and it is now
worth 800 to S25 an acre, and yet the
land is not as good as it was when
you bought it. What has made it
worth more? 1t is because it is near
good toWn-tO this town that YOU
and your neighbors helped to build
up by your patronage. While you
were helping the town with your pat
ronage, you were unconsciously doub-
ing or trebling the value of your farm.
The rule works both ways. The
growth or the town increases the
value OF your farm. If you buy your
goods in Havre you help to make
Havre larger city, and help to make
your land worth more. If you buy
your goods in Chicago, you help to
make Chicago larger city and you
leave to other people the burden of
building up your home community
and increasing the value of your land.
If you help to build up Chicago, how
much will it increase the value of
your farm?
You are interested in this town as
much as are the people who live in it.
You trade your produce here for
things that you want, you sell your
stock and product here Tor at some
other town near here, if you are I'M
fortunate and need financial help, the
business men here, and no one but
the business men, are solicited to
raise a purse for you. And they
always do it. When your crop or
stock are not yet sold, you ask for
credit here, and you get it, which is
favor to you, though you may not
know it. If you buy something at
any store here that does not prove as
