You Can See Quality and

PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Maii-order
House Goods on Faith-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 fair idea as
to whether the price asked is fair
one or not.
+. But how is 1t 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 the 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

Expert ocean Mail sorter,.

One of the most interesting perform.
ances of modern times is the handling
of the mails in great ocean steam
ships. Some Of the men become SO
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically. many Of them be-
ing able to put their finger on any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
250.000 letters and some 10000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The
officials do not always manage to fin
ish the work by the time they reach
port, and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post ONCE and complete the job there.

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 ball of Plymouth twine
sold by loeal 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 6,12O 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
it would never work on binder. Now
we wish to ask you. does it pay to
trade at home? If there is anyone
who Is skeptical of this story, just
call and we will show you"-Parma

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.

tim taken from the columns Of the

right here that all the correspondence

"Our honeymoon has been q very

more goods by April to celebrate

"A VICTIM"
Mr.. Consumer, It Is to your advan.
tage in many ways to buy honest
goods at honest prices Of your honest
local merchant. See what you are
buying. Get what you are paying for.
Keep the money of the community in
