KNOWWHATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
Quantity in the Local
Stores.
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Mail-Order
House Goods on Faith--keep
the Money of the Commu-
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan-
disc he Is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality is first
class, and whether the quantity is all
that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have fair idea as
to whether the price asked Is fair
one or not.
But how is it when he attempts to
buy of the big mail order houses of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are Offering
Is what the catalogue says, and the
catalogue Is prepared with the one OBJ
ject in view of selling the goods.
When the consumer buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
! has purchased were not as represent.
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
Of the mail order house in the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.
1t is cheap goods and short weight
| that Is making mail order house
profits They can buy but little, il
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-02-07

any, cheaper than your local merchant
can. First-quality, standard merchan-
disc is manufactured on a very mar
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi-
dends on enormous capital if they can
sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity of merchan-
disc at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing, but you would not buy the same
goods of your local merchant that you
buy of the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here is an item clipped from the
Parma, Mich, News which shows the
nefarious system of the mail order
concerns, and how they victimize their
patrons:
"a farmer purchased two sacks of
binding Irvine of large Chicago cata-
logue house, and upon it's arrival this
morning a ball was unrolled and meas
ured with a ball of Plymouth Irvine
sold by local dealers, when it was
found that the Chicago article was just
306 feet short of that sold at home
There being ten balls in a sack, it will
be seen that the farmer lost 6,120 feet
or over a mile of Irvine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then, too
the mail order house product was of
an inferior quality, being full of knots,
and one farmer standing near during
the measuring process remarked that
it would never work on binder. Now
we wish to ask you, does it pay to
trade at home? If there is anyone
who is skeptical of this story, Just
call and we will show you."-Parma,
Mich, News.
Bankrupt stock, merchandise that
reliable jobbers would not handle be-
cause of it's poor quality, the refuse
of the factories made over into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons of the mail order houses
are buying. Here is an extract from
an article that appeared in the Sioux
Falls, S. d. Leader:
"The mail order house selling vehi-
cles by the catalogue route, is more
than a pirate, it is a turkey-buzzard.
1t takes the freaks and failures that
have died for want of real merit, and
tries to stifle legitimate business by
selling the embalmed remains at a re-
duced price.
The whole nefarious mail order sys-
tenn, in sa far as it relates to vehicles.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-02-07

almost the exceptional order that Ia
Is conducted on the theory that It Is
possible to take an inferior job and
foist 1t on a credulous people by
means of reduced price and the
honest reputation established by the
neritorious original which It shame,
lessly caricatures. These methods
have been crowned with success sole
ly by reason of the fact that mail or
der houses put more skill, energy and
money into advertising than do the
manufacturers to whom the American
people are directly indebted for the
best vehicles on the face Of the earth.
THE mail order business is the
quack doctor of commerce. 1t prom
ises much and guarantees nothing.
The directions are always on the in
side, and you have to buy non-re-
turnable package before you can find
out what they are"
A. G. Enderton, of Walter, Okla,
writing to the Shawnee, Okla, Union
Signal, says:
~ The mail order houses
are the WORST OHenuerS OF the pure
food law that we have to deal with.
They are the people who use short
weight tin cans and every year the
American public is cheated out Of
thousands of dollars by this alone.
l see where some mail
order houses offer paint at about what
good oil is worth. Now, does anyone
think that mail order house can buy
good paint stuff cheaper than anyone
else?
"Now suppose you find out what
crude petroleum, like what is pumped
out of oil wells cost. Very cheap, is
it not? That is the oil that is used
and what about the paint stuff? How
about Spanish whitening, with just
enough white lead to stick it together?
. ."
The question Of prompt delivery is
another question which mail order
house patrons should consider. 1t is
filled promptly. The reason for this
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-02-07

delay is that they do not carry the
goods in stock, and must purchase
them after your order is received. In
Chicago, for example, no mail order
house will sell to any person living
within the city limits, and the reason
for this is that these concerns pur-
chase large amount of the merchan-
disc they are selling from the retail
stores of the city, the proprietors of
which refuse to sell them the goods
except upon the condition that they
are not to sell to the people of the
city.

from one bough to the next higher,

rays of alantern help high in the air
suddenly fradiated the scene, which
was surveyed by Sister Victorine and
the mother superior.
AT this unexpected sight, Angel
broke from Ralphs restraining arm,
and scrambled hastily down the tree
One afternoon about a week after
Anglers" undignified scramble from
Olympus to Avernus, she and the
countess walked together Victorine
painting in the rear, and Lulu stepping
sedately before them

out, dost thou not know that the en-
tire village would be Immediately

What of it?" asked Angel"
why; stupid, thus thou couldst es
cape. If now M. Ralph was in
formed as to the moment the bells
would ring"
Dear old jacques would never rims
the bells except for service"
True, true" replied the countess
patiently; but" with deep meaning
some one else pulled the roper

before them in the gravel.

tracted that some one might run light

evil cat upon the ropes, think you
the bells would not ring as she climb
ed down them? Write thy let

BY the following day all prelim-
inaries were accomplished, and at last
the moment arrived when her plot
was to be tested
At that instant the pinkest and
whitest of the English honorables
turned her ankle and sank to the
ground with a cry of pain. Victorine,
all sympathy, waddled hastily toward
her.
Selling the unsuspecting Lulu from
angel" Smiths arms, the countess
fed up the steps of the tower and
cast her through a Gothic aperture,
Then she sped down again, unheeded,
unnoticed.
Lulu, my lamb" presently called
the fatuous voice of Sister Victorine,
the rose-and-lily honorable having re-
covered herself sufficiently to rest on
the stone bench beneath the pear
tree.
Lulu chases butterflies amid the
shrubbery, dear sister" said the
countess.
Scarcely were the words out OF her
mouth when from the tower the bells
pealed forth terrible summons.

They Killed a Bear" Z"

/ Ahty hhAAhS4 " gg1As
Last Monday was an ideal day
for scouting in the shadow of
the picturesque mountains in
the vicinity of Deming in search
of game.
The occasion was happily, yet
almost disasterously, taken ad-
vantage Of by Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Hon and Messrs. ReRoy
Hon and w. B. Westgate. The
particular point Of game search
ing was the historic Red noun
tains, the towering peaks of
which kiss the floating clouds
some twelve miles to the south
west of town. The hunters no
sooner struck the mountains than
things got interesting and inter
esting they remained throughout
the entire day. The party had
an exciting. hair-raising exper-
ience, staying lobo wolves and
wild cats, to say nothing Of the
vast amount Of small game taken
in. The killing Of one espec ally
large wild cat, with stripes down
his back like a Begal tiger, af-
forded the greatest sport, yet
apprehension, Of the outing. Mr..
Leroy Hon became overcome
with the intensity OF The excite
ment during the encounter and
couldn't hit a hock Of barn doors.
The result was something awful.
The feroci0us member Of the
tiger family was closing in on
Mr.. Hon and would soon have
given him a tenderfoOt initiation
