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. 1t costs him more to
market his goods. He must maintain
q 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, a letter
written by a prominent mail order
man might be quoted. Writing to a
magazine he said: advertising in
your publication cost us II cents an
inquiry and we made sales at a cost
of only Sc cents each for advertising,
This is about half of our regular cost"
This man was selling "a complete out,
fit of clothes for $685." He was will.
ing to pay a dollar for each sale the
advertising brought him. Ask your
local dealer how long he could keep
the sheriff away from his doors If he
took a dollar out of every ten dollar
sale.
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 to 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
fakir goods, mail order goods are not
handled by the regular jobbers and
wholesalers. They cannot afford to
handle them because their customers
want better merchandise. The street
fakir duplicates, in appearance, the
jewelry carried by a first class Jew.
elry house and makes large profits.
The catalogue merchant does the
same thing but does it on a larger
scale and much more cleverly.

The year, many thousands of dollars in

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-

sum by ordering his supplies from a
mail order house, the loss to the com.

out that as the amount of the mail or.

But the idea of saving on individual

us beyond criticism explode against

the air a great deal of Stiffness. Our

Our reverence for the sacredness of

There are more angels than devils

The devils are making the most

that righteousness is losing its grip
upon this nation is a woefully mis-

We do not believe him.
