HINDRANCE TO LIVE MERCHANT
Are as Much 10 Be Feared as the
Competition OF the Catalogue
Houses-Should Be Awak-
ened or Buried.

Why should the home merchant be
patronized instead OF the mail order
house? The subject has been ex-
hausted almost and from all points OF
view and all sides there is no valid
reason why the merchant at home
should excepting two. price and
articles wanted
II is not the intention of the writer
20 lot down a pleasant flow OF Ian
guage or 70 produce an interesting bit
of reading matter. but merely TO state
in a few simple sentences what have
seen and learned OF the competition be
tween the catalogue houses and the
home merchants. In the first place no
one community suffers greatly in this
competition. That makes the problem
all the more difficult in solution |
mean by this that the majority OF buy
ers in no one community purchase by
mail The business OF the mail order
house is scattered over a large terri
tory. the number of orders com. z
from any one community compared
with the whole is comparatively small
10 the number OF orders in the town.
There is an exception 10 this in a com
munity where the home merchants are
dead ones and ask exhorbitant prices.
