Why should we trade at home?
Why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
st pays us financially? First, because
at is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
'foWn and our neighbors should be suf
:ficient inducement to give them the
preference. Second, because beyond
:all doubt or question, it pays from
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
Imerchant to-day is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
a great convenience and an exhibition
sof commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils, The success of the mail order
'house is the result of constant, ex-
tensive and intelligent advertising. 1t
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell us, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use of
lprinter's ink.
While the merchants are the heav-
hest immediate losers, and could do

quainting the community with what
he has to sell and with the fact
that people could obtain at home.
where they could personally examine
them and return them If defective in
any way, goods at as low price as
any catalogue house can sell them,
every man and woman Is to Dlame
who sends away for goods: and every
one who fails to raise his voice In
favor of home trade. The editor holds
the most responsible position and
should be the leader in this move
ment
The remedy has been outlined in a
general way. We will suggest the first
steps. Let merchants buy at home
they cannot consistently ask others to
trade with them when they do not
patronize their brothers in trade. The
editors should patronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice
refuse foreign advertising for lines OF
goods in competition with the home
merchant. The editor deserves more
credit than he receives. Many a we'll
to-do farmer or city man would think
himself perfectly justified in sending
away for all his groceries and cloth
ing if he thought he could save ten
dollars thereby on years purchases,
but most editors forfeit many times
that much every year by refusing ad-
vertising from distant firms in the
same lines of business as his home
merchants; and sometimes the home
merchant even then declines to ad-
vertiSe.
Trade-athome clubs might be or
ganized, with mottos something like
Club" or Il Patronize the Home Mer-
chants" or Il Buy Nothing from Mail
Order Houses" for members to dis
play. The acceptance and displaying
of such a card might constitute per-
so nor member.
Much of the trading away from
