KN0WWHATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
Quantity in the Local
Stores.
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Maii-order
House Goods on Falth-keep
the Money Of the Commu-
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan-
disc he is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality is first
class. and whether the quantity is all
that Is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have a fair idea as
to whether the price asked is a fair
one or not.
But how is It when he attempts to
buy of the big mail order houses of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are offering
Is what the catalogue says. and the
catalogue is prepared with tho one OBJ
ject In view OF selling the goods.
When the consumer buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
has purchased were not as represent
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
Of the mail order house In the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.
1t is cheap goods and short weight
that is making mail order house
profits. They can buy but little, II
The Elbert County tribune., 1907-01-31

any, cheaper than your local merchant
can. First-quality, standard merchan-
disc is manufactured on a very mar
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi-
dends on enormous capital II they can
sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity Of merchan-
disc at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing. but you would not buy the same
goods of your local merchant that you
buy of the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here is an item clipped from the
Parma Mich, News which shows the
nefarious system of the mail order
concerns, and how they victimize their
patrons:
"a farmer purchased two sacks of
binding twine of large Chicago cata-
logue house, and upon its arrival this
morning a ball was unrolled and meas
ured with a ball of Plymouth twine
sold by local dealers, when 1t was
found that the Chicago article was just
306 feet short of that sold at home.
There being ten balls in sack, 1t will
be seen that the farmer lost 6,120 feet,
or over a mile OF twine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then. too.
the mail order house product was OF
an inferior quality, being full Of knots.
and one farmer standing near during
the measuring process remarked that
1t would never work on binder. Now
we wish to ask you. does it pay to
trade at home? II there is anyone
who is skeptical of this story, just
call and we will show you."-Parma,
Mich. News.
Bankrupt stock, merchandise that
reliable jobbers would not handle be-
cause OF its poor quality, the refuse
OF the factories made over into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons OF the mail order houses
are buying. Here is an extract from
an article that appeared In the Sioux
Falls, s. d. Leader:
"The mail order house selling vehi-
cles by the catalogue route. is more
than a pirate. 1t Is a turkey-buzzard.
1t takes the freaks and failures that
have died for want of real merit. and
tries to stifie legitimate business by
selling the embalmed remains at q re.
duced price.

delay is that they do not carry the
goods in stock, and must purchase
them after your order Is received. In
Chicago. for example. no mail order
house will sell to any person living
within the city limits. and the reason
for this is that these concerns pur-
chase large amount OF the merchan-
disc they are selling from the retail
stores of the city, the proprietors of
which refuse to sell them the goods
except upon the condition that they
are not to sell to the people of the
city.

Sobieski dynasty. The definition of
dynasty is family of kings. Poland
in the days of John III. was an aristo-
cratic republic and elective monarchy.
There is tradition that comes down,
however, that when the elective sys-
TEN was abolished by the new consti-
tuition in 1871 1t was the general
understanding that the Sobiesd fam
lily was to be the royal family. The
constitution was only prevented from
going into force by the conquest OF
Poland"
Col. Sobieski denies that the So
bieskis disappeared from Polish hrs
tory; he says they were in every fight
for Polish liberty.
Regarding the charge that the ex-
ecution of Sobieski (his father)
would have made a thrill had 1t really
occurred" he says: Nicholas l. had
a wonderfully effective method OF
quieting thrills. or at least the mani
festation of them"
Col. Sobieski has instructed his
Chicago attorney to confer with the
Polish editor regarding the submission
of the case to Cracow university.

COL John Sobieski, Once Sol
der of Fortune, Direct De-
scendant of 7haddeus
of WARSAW.

mand Firing Party That Ended the Career
of His Cne- Time Prosecutor.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Sucking his bare
pink toes and calling aloud for the
royal nursing bottle. the rightful fu-
ture king of Poland lies in his cradle
in a cottage in the West Adams street
district serenely unconscious of the
fact that a battle of documents and
family trees is raging over his crown
and estates.
Little does he care that a rude Chi
cago editor has denied the claim that
he is the direct descendant of Thad-
deus of Warsaw and heir to a vast
confiscated estate-not to mention the
shattered Polish throne.
His fond father is L. S. Gilhausen, a
clerk in the First National bank. His
grandfather is Colonel John Sobieski,
the well-known temperance lecturer
the last of the illustrious line of John
I'LL, who rescued Europe from the
Turks.
From life of quiet retirement, this
grandfather and grandchild have burst
suddenly into national fame.
Recently Polish editor named
Siemiradsk came into print in the
Chicago Record-Herald denouncing
Colonel Sobiesk as an impostor, or
practically that. He denies Colonel
Sobieski's claim to direct descent by
the eldest-son-of-the-e route
from King John Ill, the adored ma
tional hero of Poland-again not to
mention the throne and the great es-
tates.
This editor with a name like a
sneeze claims that the last genuine
Sobieski died over century and a
half ago. He calls upon Sobieski of
Los Angeles to bring forward his

Masimilian's Execution.

The old Polish nobleman tells of the
tragic incident of history-the execu-
ttion of the emperor-in simple sol
dier fashion. In writing an account
of 1t for his biography he says:
"The last three or four days of Max
imilian's life we've spent almost who'll
" with the priest. On the morning
of the execution, June 10, 1S67-a
bright, beautiful morning-he was
taken out of the old convent where he
was captured and where he had lived
during the time he was in our GUS
tody, and placed in an ambulance and
driven outside of the walls of the city
near an old fortress. where the execu-
tion took place.
Arriving on the grounds. the troops
were formed in line. the doomed men
were placed in position, Maximilian
