The secret of how it has been that
some of the eastern mall order houses
which have done business in Montana
and elsewhere were able to undersell
local merchants on some lines of gro
ceries has been revealed. The revela-
ton has come about through the oper-
alton of the national pure food law.
One of the big mail order concerns,
which has done a great business in
Montana, makes the announcement
that it has closed it's grocery depart
ment, giving in a circular its reason
for doing so because its maintenance
has been made impracticable by the
pure food laws just passed by con-
gress."
If that is not an acknowledgment
that the consumers have been fur
nished with adulterated food stuffs
when they ordered groceries, then the
English language is not understand
able. By selling the stuff that has
been put under the ban because of its
impurity, the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchants living hundreds of miles
away from the great centers of sup
ply.
In carrying on this trade in impure
goods, the mail order houses have
done the greatest injury to the con-
sumer While the local merchant has
lost some trade, he has had at least
