VINO Is TO BLAME.

Why do the people patronize
catalogue houses and order their
goods from large cities and not
patronize their home deelers, is a
question that has been answered
in many ways and forms. This
struggle of the retailer of small
town with the wholesaler OF a
large city for existence has sup
piled many a writer with material
for his articles citing this subject.
Some people agree with and COM
mend the idea 10 support home
dealerg who help to build up
community; who lend a helping
hand and their purse to every
home enterprise. Thist fact. that
the home dealer actually does
literally contribute TO every ex-
isting and intendej project of a
community is appreciated by
some people and his good will is
recognized, but these are very
few. We have class of people
that do not see these facts; they
do not acknowledge the noble
work OF their home dealer, and
the result of this ungratefulness is
that the home dealer does not en-
JOY the patronage 10 which he is
Justly entitled.
Now then. to give this subject
