COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
1t lie Not Always a Matter OF Saving to
Buy Cheap Goods.

Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons as TO buying
Of goods
Not long ago in a western town
citizen desired to buy kitchen range.
visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by
the way had his attention attracted
by the advertising ia his farm paper
Of "a bargain" in kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal TO
those costing twice the money at the
local store" The citizen sent
money order to the concern advertls.
ing the range and in the course OF a
Few weeks he was notified by the rail
road agent that the range had ar.
rived. In removing II from the sta.
ton to the farm house, In some mex.
plainable way part of 1t was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. letter was written TO
the range company and in the course
OF a few weeks a duplicate OF the
broken part was received, but It was
discovered that II would not at tho
stove. II had to be returned and a
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed In
use. Within six months the top had
become SO warped that It interfered
seriously with the drafts. At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser OF the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one.third more
than the poor range cost, and after a
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought.
This Is one illustration OF how econ
omy wrongfully practiced is ex.
pensive. II is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters wheL good
articles are wanted. Neither is It q
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity TO carefully ex.
