Inc create no local market Tor the
products you have for sale. They
have no property in your county
which can be assessed to help bear
your burden of taxation.
Your local dealer stands ready
to duplicate every offer so seduct-
ively set forth in the catalogues OF
mail order houses and more. He
will trump the best trick the mail
order house ever played if you will
put down spot cash and aooept
from him GLASS of goods devoid
of respectable ancestry, and upon
which no reputable manufactures
will place his name He can sell
cheap goods. too, if you will buy
them from him with your eyes
shut.
Honestly. now, don't you really
pat yourself on the back when you
spend your money in such a way
that ia supplying your own wants
yon help build up the neighbor-
hood in which yon live. or course
you do. and you act on that idea
yourself. but the trouble is you
don't talk it enough to your
friends.
Stand by your local dealer as he
stands by you with his time,
his skill, and his money. He
helps to build up the community
and he makes it better place for
you both to live.
His own success depends on
your prosperity. He has no use
for mavericks-unbranded junk. He
swears by the goods branded with
the trade mark of the most skillful
manufacturer on earth goods the
like of which no other generation
ever saw, and he has an abiding
faith in the theory that the very
best articles in all the world today
are none too good for the major
general of all industries-the
American citizen.
Any mail order proposition
takes the legitimate profits, which
would otherwise go to your dealer
and benefit you and your oom,
munity. and invests it in a way
that does not benefit you directly
or Indirectly.
When you buy from your local
dealer and have his guarantee, his
reputation is at stake in your COM
munity and you can walk right
into his pace of business and
know you will get fair treatment,
Immediate consideration and a
Square DEAL. Not go with a
a mail order proposition where you
have signed your name to an in
nooent looking agreement in which
you are led to believe everything
is in your favor and the other fel
low takes all the risk; or. where
you pay your money in advance
either to the shipper direct or in
trust with bank, express or freight
agent Always remember one
thing that the other fellow, "a
stranger to you. is looking out for
himself and in case you are dissatis
fed and want your money back
you find out that there are oondi
tions you did not think of that
have to be met. In many cases
you do not get your money back
inside of two yea1s and some cases
never. You would be astonished
to know the number of people that
are imposed upon by this mail
order business.
Againl Suppose every "citizen'
in your community should buy his
provisions. clothing, hardware, etc
from the mail order systems. wha,
would happen? Have you thought
of that? Why do the largest mail
order houses have a restricted
ruling that no goods will be sold
