There has been a great deal of talk about the mail order houses pro and con in the papers of late. One prop osition that stands out above all oth- CTS is that the farmer has as much right to buy where Ire can get the most for his money as anybody else That ought to settle the question of the rights of men in the matter But that does not settle all there Is to it, for there may be dozen ways of go- ing to the same place and all of them may be good way to 20. Then 1t resolves itself into going-not the right way. for all of them reach the point aimed at-the way that under the circumstances is the best for the individual. Already you see the ques- tion is one that can Hot be settled by some hard and fast rule In other words, it is to the interest of the farm CT to make his order direct to the big supply house sometimes, and some times 1t is not. The time will never come when the local dealer could not attend to the orders of the farmer bet ter than the mail order house, if he was up to snuff, and had the disposi- tion to accommodate his customers There is never any moral obligation to the local dealer, but the local dealer can and ought to make it to the in- terest of all his neighbors to trade with him. He should be ready at all times 10 meet anything in the way of competition. He can sell as cheaply quality with freight added-and if he fails to do this, then there should be no objection to the order going for. ward to the mail order house. A few things should not be overlooked in this proposition, however, and some of these are that the money is put on the spot before the goods are deliv- cred; they are not kept in a store house subject to inspection, until the customer is ready to take them out and the customer must go to the depot and do his own freighting and unpack- ing and setting up. You put the mon- ey in the hands of the dealer in ad- vance of the shipment of the goods from the factory, and wait till they come, and then go to the depot and pay the freight. and it is a safe prop osition that you will beat the mail or der house. When you cant do this, then order by mail-and take your chances of getting beat.
