NO VALID REASONS

With Freight Charges Added and
Quality Considered the Homo
Merchant Does
Best.

Copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred C. cIark)
The reasons why people should
trade at home are numerous, but SO
far as we are able to learn but one
reason is advanced for purchasing
goods OF mail order houses. That one
reason-a saving OF money-is often
NO reason at all. for in many instances
the express charges or freight and
carriage will bring the cost of an arti-
Gle that as quoted In the price list
seemed a wonderful bargain. almost
or quite up to the price charged by
the local dealer. But even were one
able to save few cents on the pur-
chase price by buying away from
home. 1t appears to us that the loss
is Infinitely more than the gain. for
he who sends the money which he
earns in the home town out to swell
the Golfers of wealthy dealers in dis.
tant cities cannot fail to forfeit in a
considerable degree the respect of
those around him. nor can he under
these conditions preserve his self
respect intact.

houses must have a sneaking feeling

We rode on In silence for quite .

turning his head.

his communicative mood would leave

he is a hindrance rather than helr

In public positions, and whom ques
tions of local interest and Importance

less weight than the man who, con

can and giving as little as possible in
