by farmers who buy many articles that they use Taking
tor granted as matter o argument that perhaps times

the goods any member Of any society any in
fact in the United States afford patronize his oca
merchants!
In the building Of any vast business, whether it be a.
tobacco trust oil trust beef trust railroad trust or a
merchandise those who assist in the building Of such
aggregatons Of wealth by patronizing it. will find the
day when that power is turned them and they viii
lose more than they have gained
BY sending the money away from home, the person.
who paronizes the mail order house impovershes the
local merchant his local merchant from bringing
welassorted stocks large stocks Of merchandise
prevents the local merchant from employing help,
which usually from the ranks Of his patrons pre-
vents his local merchant from assisting worthy local en-
terprises either the church, lodge, factory political
movements, that nearly always for the benefit of his
local community.
1t prevents the growth Of population in the commu nifty
in which the patron Of the mail order house lives and in
that reduces the value Of land in which the farmer in
particular interested The greater number Of people in
a community the better the price Of the land
BY paronzng the mai order houses, persons paronlz--
ing such houses often deprived OF the privilege OF buy
ing many articles that he needs Immediately that would be
Of great benefit him. and whose could probably be
saved many times if he could be supplied once.
By refusing and failing to buy from his local dealer he
loses the opportunity OF buying goods that he actually

order house offers good quality and low in price, which
is not true

1t is fact and be proven, that many Eormer
cessul merchants in communities that were prosperous
previous the advent Of the mail order houses have bee
bankuped and reduced to poverty. and the people in
such communities get only the bare necessities andE
have to make frequent trips to neerby towns ns order er
