Merchants Win.

"News comes to u.s., says the Nc
Pherson Republican, "from two towns IN
widely separated sections Of the country
telling Of the victory of merchants In
these respective cities over the mail order
evil. The two towns referred toare
Emporia, Kansas, and Battle Creek,
Michigan, and In both cases the modes
Of procedure against the catalogue houses
were identical. They did not consist OF
the boycott methods Recommended by
some students Of the question, neither
did they consist of TRADES of abuse hurled
against the offenders. Secretary |. Glib
son Of the Business Mems Association OF
Battle Creek, speaking In regard to the
matter, makes the following statement:
'rhe catalogue houses haye not en-
tirley despaired Of doing business In this
community" says Mr.. Gibson, 'but they
have ceased to bea menace, The mer-
chants here can hold their own now
They are In a position to compete
Battle merchants do not believe In the
boy methods suggested by the Home
Trade League cf America. Instead they
met cut prices with cuts. Personal work
among the farmers was the next step
They were brought to town, special
meetings were held for their education
and they were treated as honored guests
They were shown that they could buy
more cheaply at home, In the end, these
methods won and the home merchants
now get nearly all Of the annual busi-
ness Of $SOO,OOO which formerly went to
the catalogue houses
In Emporia, the decrease In the num-
ber of mail order shipments was first
noticed by the railroad men, who were
at loss to explain the cause of 1t. A
local merchant said that 1t was his opin-
ion that the town merchants had won
the fight by quoting prices. By ad-
vertising prices, the merchants let the
farmers-the best customers Of the cAta-
logue houses-know that they could get
as good or better goods at home for the
same or less money without the risk OF
trouble Of sending away and the extra
expense Of freight
