whatever town you trade,) 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 catalogue 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 and look through
my store, and compare prices right
through and if I don't furnish you the
same articles, quality considered,
cheaper than the mail order house
does, I will give them to you. And you
won't be buying anything by book
description either. You will see the
goods and try them on, and inspect
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 exchanging or re-
placing them.
Well, guess you are about right,
said the man thoughtfully.
Of course I'm right, and the more
you think about it the more you'll be-
lieve what I've said. Here you come
into my store asking me to favor you
by exchanging goods that you have
bought from 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 reshipment and
prove that 1t 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 expenses and educate
your children. They do nothing what
ever to help this town or this county
or you; and their prices are not as
cheap everything considered, as those
of the home merchants. fyou really
knew how to save money and help
yourself you would never spend cent
with them. They make a 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?
