Correspondent Tells a Few Things
Regarding Trade.
ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO A STORY
One Reason Why Nail Order Houses Are
PatroriEed- Farmers Like TO Hear
aNoiss Like Money.
REEpsyILLE. Feb. 6

-
Editor Argus:
In October and on November s
you gave the farmers and mechanics
the devil in general in an article
headed good advice. Now, Janu-
any 81, you gave the merchants the
devil in an article headed advertise
your business. In the October issue
you gave the farmer the advice not
to buy of Sears. Roebuck * Co.,
but to buy of the home merchants,
who give the SHINING farmer all the
money he gets.
Now let me say from a farmers
view of the case: The farmer will
take a load of produce to the mer-
chant, and all he can get for it will
be a lot of Baltimore Bargain House
trash at a good and first class ar,i.
Gle price, but as to getting any of
the needful IN OF the merchant, il
never materializes. If a farmer is
so lucky as to sell anything for the
cash. such as a bunch of sheep, hogs
or cattle, and some of the mer.
chants ind out he has a little money
he-the merchant-gets after the
farmer and sticks to him like an
old'fashioned Jew until he wheedles
the money out of him for a few
cheap articles moi worth half what
is paid for them.
II the merchants would buy the
right kind of goods and sell them at
a reasonable profit. and then adver-
tise IN THE ARGUS or any other
good county paper, telling the peo-
pie what he has; also the figure at
which he sells, the farmer would
oftener go to the home merchant,
even if il would be harder work than
sitting down and answering a Chi
cago or New York mail order house
advertisement. Then the merchant
could pay the farmer once in a
while, anyway, the difference in a
trade and not always give the ever.
lasting due bill-due in merchandise,
not in cash. II the difference is in
favor of the merchant, nine to one
the farmer has to fork over the
cash-not an l. O. u. there if you
please.
You may, Mr.. Editor, be able to
bring good advice to farmers, also
good advice to merchants, together
with these few hints, so that the
farmer won't look to be such a
scalawag as good advice would make
him and the merchant not quite so
penurious as o TO advertise in
your home paper makes him out.
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't throw
this IN the scrap pile, but take it
home and lay 1t away until Sunday,
after you get home from Sunday
school, then you will feel less like
cussing. MEMO.

An exchange tells about a man
who always paid for his paper in
advance and he was never sick, his
potatoes did noe rot, he never had
the toothache, his babies did not
cry at night, the frost does not kill
his fruit, his wife never scolds, and
he has served on the school board
for three years without being crid-
cised. What happy consequences.
The moral is plain. Go thou and
do likewise.
