out so thoroughly that it appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $6745. Mr.. Brown
thought of the saving of $7.55 which
represented several days of hard work
The more he thought about 1t the
more he wanted to save that amount

When the wagon finally arrived
with freight bill OF $3.50, he rode tt

that. And the small saving he Is able
to make by large purchases is more
than Offset by his larger expenses
These expenses must come out of the
purchaser so the mail order man is
compelled to make a larger profit than
the local dealer. It costs him more to
market his goods. He must maintain
large and expensive office force and
he must advertise. AS an example
of what the mail order man expects
to make out of his customers. letter
written by a prominent mail order
man might be quoted Writing to q
magazine he said: Advertising In
your publication cost Us II cents an
inquiry and we made sales at a cost
of only SO cents each for advertising
This is about half of our regular cost"
This man was selling "A complete out
fit of clothes for 1896" He was will.

advertising brought him. Ask your
local dealer how long he could keep
the sheriff away from his doors II he
took dollar out of every ten dollar

You can't buy the same class of
goods any cheaper from the catalogue
houses than from the local dealer.
though one may think he can after
reading the catalogues The differ.
ence comes in the quality of the goods.
There is a particular class of goods
known as mail order goods. This
trade term Is applied 10 cheap but
snowy goods and novelties which can
be sold at a large profit. 1t means
much the same thing as street fakir
goods and. as Is the case with street

in any community will mean, during
the year, many thousands of dollars In
business transacted and increased In
come for practically every one in the
community Often the amount sent
to the mail order houses is more than
enough to turn the balance the other
way and business depression exists
where prosperity would prevail under
normal conditions. Even If the coun-
try purchaser was able TO save a snug
sum by ordering his supplies from a
mail order house. the loss 10 the com.

for himself 1t is needless to point
out that as the amount OF the mail or,

a question of time until the individual

of business will exceed the individual

In fact If everyone In the commun-

the farmer would be compelled to sell

be devoid of business activity while

But the idea of saving on individual

All of these cost him Is cents. He
was not experienced at putting spring
wagons together and he didn't do
very good job of it, for one of the
seats refused to sit in the right place
and he had to get local blacksmith
to help him fix it.. This cost him
another half dollar and delayed him
so much that he and the boy had to
go TO the hotel for their dinners; an
additional expense of 20 cents. So
before he got his team hitched to the
wagon it cost him $3.50, allowing him
g saving of $1.10, which was very
stingy pay for the time he had lost
OF the amount he spent for the wagon,
only S1.95 remained in Boone county.
The railroads and the mail order
house got the rest of it.
In the meantime his neighbor. Mr..
Jones, bought the SIS wagon from the
local dealer, who made a profit OF
ZIG on the sale. As the vehicle was
already assembled and there were no
axtra parts or tools to buy, the amount
Maid for the wagon represented all OF
the cost to Mr.. Jones. The dealer
spent the SIG profit for new sign on
his building; the sign painter hired a
carpenter to repair the roof on his
bonse. the carpenter paid his bill at
the butchers and the butcher bought
hog from Mr.. Jones. And so the
SIC kept going in the county until a
farmer with the mail order habit got
hold Of it. He sent 1t to Chicago ana

But this wasn't the last OF the two
purchases. A few weeks after the
two wagons were bought, Mr.. Brown
