WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, ard How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business OF the rural communities
away from local merchants:
IF the mail order houses got 81, 900
out Of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for 1t. OF course
we get soaked I'M in awhile and IL
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad.
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price of this
article, and that, but you know how
it is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
in a store as when he is at home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read 1t when we haven't anything else
to do and every member of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other men,
Der OF the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. If he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
"The home merchant can save the
expense Of getting up a catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and If the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him pnt his talk
in the home papers. and put it in SO
that We know he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
of ten. sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and I believe on
many things they are much cheaper,
but how are We to know if he doesn't
tell US about it.
"A Merchant must not think that
ven his best customers know his
goods so well that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
1T is none Of my business how the
home merchant runs his business. but
| don't like to see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get a little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of a question, and l have given
you mine. IT it is worth anything to
you you can take it,"

K GETTING WISE,
They See Danger in the Maii-Or del
System of Business.

1t is only lately that bankers OF the
west have come to a realization that
the mail-order system of business has
been a serious injury to them. killing
off the business of their towns, taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying Observation-Disclosures evil
as anything of particular to
them. When Farmer Smith would
buy a draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago, the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead, while the facts re-
NAMED that if he could keep the
money from being Sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make a dollar or two of profit.
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits OF
the people of country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families,
and set a bad example before the PEG
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and Injuries. Bankers are conserva-
tive; and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money,
but in this matter it appears sufficient
ly important to justify the exercise at
what influence the banker can com.
mand in behalf of home patronage. 1t
is the business of the town and sur
rounding country that affords a profit
to the bank. The greater this volume
of business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest of
the town, and the farmers and other
laborers as we'll.
