The Rise of A Cir eat
Mail Order House

"Do you know how Sears, Roe
buck & Co., started in business?"
asked Zsndition, the editor of
the Kansas Norton County News.
81 worked for them nine years
ago. knew Sears when he was
station agent in Wisconsin and
Roebuck when he was a watch
peddler. One time Roebuck
wanted to &C to milwaukee and
didn't have the money, 30 he left
a watch with Sears for security
for his fare, telling him that if he
should be able to sell the watch
for more than So he might have
half he mace. Sears sold the
watch for S12. The Sears wrote
to Robuck in Milwaukee and got
him TO send by express a dozen
watches TO Bill Jones. Sam
Smith and a lot Of fictitious
names. These watches were
billed out at 50 and $40 paid on
them apparently. Sears unload
ed the watches easily at S15 each
which cost him and Roebuck S3.-
30. But the railroad company
got on to the game and fired
Sears, and the two of them OPEN
ed an office in Milwaukee. They
bought thousand watches and
hipped them by express to every
express office in Kansas, Missouri
and Illinois. These watches
were marked $40 paid, and to
fictitious names. When the
agent reported such watches back
as undelivered. this party wou d
write back that some mistak 9
must surely be made. but as a
payment of SO had been made
on this watch, they would allow
the agent a commission of 81 to
secure the other 10. Well, the
scheme worked fine and the pair
cleaned up $4,000 clear. Then
they bought lot of parlor sets
for children and advertised them,
giving them the impression that
they would receive a full set ol
furniture for So: and the people
bit all over the country.
Uncle Sam has stopped Sears
Roebuck & Co.'S. mail fourteen
time for fake deals like this, bu
has never been able to catcl
{ them. Sears is probably worth
nine millions. Roebuck is work
ing in DesMoines at S1S per weel
being forced out of business
several years ago.
AS an illustration of how thi
firm makes money. About
year ago they bought 5000 byci
cles, all alike, and they PLACED
three prices on the same wheel
which cost them Sc 90, and the!
sold them for S12.75, $16,25 ant
S21.50. The same wheel, mine
you, possibly a different colo
of paint but the only differenc
was that some people wanted
S21 30 wheel and others a S12,7
and they all got what they want
ed. They worked the same graf
on clothing. In catalogues the,
advertise Clay worsteds at S12.6
10 and 18. No matter what yo,
, paw you get the suit.
The name Sears, Roebuck

1t is very much overworked phrase
that about the man who makes tw,

kind; but 1t has always been true, and IL
verify becomes more apparent and force
full as the years go by and the people

And people are multiplying. Neve
mind how fast in the Orient or in Ell
rope. Look at North America alone.
our present rate of increment we shaI
have in the United States, in 1920 a pop
ulation of 125,000,000, and in 1850 not les
than 1750O000O. In the meantime Canad,
will have a teeming population-not les
than 100,000,000. And the center of popu
lation moves steadily westward. Within
a very few years, as measured by ma
tional development, we shall have west O

of the Rocky mountain region and thu
Pacific coast as great a population al
now lives in the whole country, and west

Every legitimate land and water EN-

Taiging Nine by the rore,on


The city Of New Orleans has grab.
bed time by the topknot in a some
what summary manner by announcing
''the Panama bioceanic exposition m
be held in 1915 or 1916, in celebration
OF the completion of the Panama canal
The setting Of the date for the consum-
nation Of the canal, even with one
years leeway, is a bold thing to do.
Who can tell with any degree OF GER
tainty when that lnteroceanlc water
way viii be ready for use? New Or
leans seems to be setting a perilous
precedent for worlds fairs.
Just suppose that the city near the
mouth of the Mississippi should build
her big exposition and have every
thing ready for opening on time ex-
cept the one thing primarily needful-
the event which the exposition is to cell
ebrate! Imagine the opening ceremo-
MES ON May day of 1915, with Pres
ident Roosevelt, Bryan, Taft, Folk,
Hughes, Jones-whoever the incumbent
may be--on hand with a speech Of
gllttering generalities, with all the ma
lions Of the world represented, with
the New Orleans harbor full of visiting
warships, all gathered to celebrate the
opening Of the canal-and that canal
still full of dry air and dirt!
In that event New Orleans would
present the spectacle Of another big
exposition not ready to open, though
the unreadlneSs would be due to causes
outside the local sphere. Nevertheless
one must admire the pluck Of New Or
leans In pre-empting thus early the
name and the occasion. If she takes
care not to ''fall down" on the date her
exposition should be a glorious success,
for the completion Of the canal will
realize dream which has occupied
the minds of men for four centuries OF
and on. Christopher Columbus when
he sailed westward from the port Of
Palos In 1892 had In view identicaIly
the same object which inspires the
cutting Of the Panama canal-nameIy,
the discovery of a water passage to the
orient We have celebrated the four
hundredth anniversary Of the failure
Of Columbus to find that passage,
though he found something "Just as
good" or better. Now 1t is well in or.
der to celebrate the final fulflIment Of
the dream of Columbus If we can dis
cover the correct date.

STAMPEDE FOR CANADA.

Amazing Migration Of Educated and
Trained American Farmers.
1t Is said that more than 100000
Americans will settle In Canada this
year and that next year the northward
exodus from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Ohio and even states as far
east as Massachusetts, may reach the
impressive proportions Of 100000 per
sons. Do you realize the tremendous
meaning of this movement II can
almost be expressed In dollars, says
James Creelman in Pearson's Maya
zine.
These are not ignorant and penni-
less louis, stumbling confusedly into
strange conditions. They are for the
most part men with bank accounts,
who ride in parlor cars-educAted,
trained American farmers, the kind OF
men who won the west from savagery
and made the rose blossom on the
prairie-small capitalists and proprie-
tors who understand how to live and
thrive in the mighty wheat plains Of
western Canada.
The Canadian government privately
caused an analysis of last years Amer
lean invasion to be made, and the re
suit was astonishing. By counting up
the declared value of money and eff
fects carried into Canada by American
settlers In 1906 from four states
Michigan. Montana, Illinois and Mas
sachusetts--it was found that the av-
erage wealth brought across the border
from these states was $500 for each
settler This average for the four
states amounted to a total OF $6,376,-
40.
As the number OF Americans who
crossed the frontier during the year
was 81. $50, the whole value Of the pos
sessions they took with them was APP
proximately $49, $50, 1873.
Not only did last years American
settlers In Canada transfer S49,5S6. 1873
In money and other movable property
into Canadian territory. but, the eco
nomic value OF an immigrant being
not less than $1,000, it is plain to be
seen that the United States lost and
Canada gained at least 800, 100000 in
last years amazing migration.
