home merchant next time, and know
what you get when you pass over the
money for it. He may not be able to
sell you what you thought you were
buying from the maiI-order house at
the catalogue price, but he can sell
you, if he has it, the same goods you
get from the mail-order houses at an
equal or less price than they ask for
it, and what is more, he can sell you
what you really want at as reasonable
a price as you can get 1t for else

Gentlemen:
1 have your favor Of recent date,

panying circulars offering premiums
for distribution of the same among my
friends. l have no doubt that, as you
say, / will thereby confer a great IA

take issue with you on the statement
that l will also confer a favor upon
my friends.
In my dealings with you, extending
over some time past, I have received

with you, instead of establishing

old thing would do for me.
Our last deal opened my eyes and
convinced me of your policy. Your
catalogues offer some apparently great
bargains. But let us draw up our
chairs and see il there are not few
things very essential to the rural citi-
gen that are not mentioned within its
voluminous bulk.
For instance. there is no reference
to paying cash or exchanging goods
for wheat. oats, corn, beans, butter,
eggs and hay.

How much will you pay to support

our children? How much for improv-

public expense?
On what page do you offer to con-
tribute money to the support of our
churches?
What line of credit will you extend
to me when my money is low because
of sickness, or poor crops? What do
YOU provide in the way of entertain

of providing those things that make a
town desirable and thus keep up the

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES.


today appears an article from Con
nersyille, referring to minister OF
that city who has recently furnished
his house with furniture bought OF a
Chicago mail order house. AS an
instance of base ingratitude this
minister affords a shining example
He obtains his salary through the
liberaIity of his congregation, all Con
nersville people and some of them
probably Connersville merchants, he
is enabled ON account of his calling to
get cut rates on articles purchased
of Connersville merchants, and then
when he intends to furnish his house
lars or more he turns to the mail Or
der houses, firms that in no way con-
tribute to the upbuilding of his town
OF his church.
However, there is one thing that
may be said for this Connersville
clergyman and that is that this is
probably his first experience with mail
order houses and the glittering prom
Uses they hold out are but rarely if
ever fulfilled. Richmond and Wayne
county people have had plenty OF ex-
perience with the big mail order
houses and have found out to their
own cost how little the goods of the
mail order houses bear out their pro-
misses. There was time when the
mail order houses could boast of a
total business in this county of not
far from 100000. In fact these fig
ures held good no longer than four or
five years ago. Today, however, the
mail order business in Wayne county
has fallen to not more than 100000
to $125,000 per annum, a shrinkage
in business commensurate with the
loss in confidence of the people in the
mail order houses owing to their fail
ure to live up to their promises.
We all know the promises the mail
order houses have made and not lived
up to. Better goods for less money"
etc. We all know the arguments
they have used to prove that they real
" were giving better goods for less
money. They say that the scope of
their business is so large and enables
them to buy in such large quantities,
that they are able to sell their goods
at jobbers' prices. And some stand
ard lines the price and quality of
which are well known, they do sell at
Jobbers' prices, but they make up for
their loss in these lines by the pro.
fits they make in other lines where
they are able to make use of their
well known methods of substitution.
A visit to the local freight Office
most any day will convince you as
nothing else short of personal exper-
fence, of how many mail order arti- |

privilege owing to dissatisfaction with |
the goods; fact that shows that dis
eliminating buyers cannot be gulled |
by substituted articles. Personal ex-
perience has led most mail order |
house patrons to adopt the third part |
of the famous saying by Lincoln, You |
can fool some of the people all the |
time. and all the people some of the |
time, but you cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time

Could | say to society, if were

pleads when it takes a convict

The killing of a human being

MASONS ARE VICTIMIZED.

Letters have been sent out from
the national headquarters of the
Masonic society warning members
to be on the on the lookout for
one of the boldest frauds which
has ever been perpetuated with the
ostensible backing of a frateral Or
der Some of these letters have
been received in this section.
The fraud is being carried on
under cover of the mailsby swind-
lers, who are collecting funds on a
bogus subscription scheme for the
erection of a monument to the late
President Mckinley Members OF
the Masonic order have been
selected as victims.
Thousands of Masons through
out the country have recently re-
ceived letters sent out under the
chain system. The letters pur-
port to come from prominent
Masons and ask the receiver to
contribute 10 cents toward a fund
which is being raised for the cree
ton of the monument.
In addition the receiver is ask
ed to write three letters to brother
Masons or friends, asking each to
send 10 cents, and, in turn, write
three letters to other friends. They
are directed to send the money to
Judge William R. Day at Canton,
Ohio, one of the best known
Masons in the United States. In
each original letter there is en-.
closed number of envelopes ad-
dressed to "W. R. Day, Esq, Can
ton, Ohio"
Through accomplices at Canton
the letters have been intercepted
by simple ruse. The confederate
of the sw:ndlers called at the post
Office several days before replies
were scheduled to arrive and asked
for mail addressed to Wv. R.
Days" When the letters address
ed in this manner did begin tc
come in the postal clerk, familiar
with the man and his name, re-
served them for him as Days mail
was seldom addressed in that way.
1t is estimated that the amount
secured by fraud will reach many
thousand of dollars. Few who re-
ceived the appeal neglected to re-
spond.
In San Francisco the victims in
cluded practically every official OF
the local lodges A dispatch from
Judge Day to a California Mason
states that he knows nothing OF
the chain letter scheme.
The United States Secret Ser
vice officials have taken the mat.
ter up and are searching for the
swindlers. Thousands of letters
at the Canton postoffice received
since the swindlers took fright and
ceased calling for their mail are
being returned to the senders.
