THE PARCELS POST.

A paragraph in recent issue of The

lishment of the parcels post, seems to
among certain retail merchants in the
Hattiesburg territory.
In this connection, the following let.
ter from Mr.. T. T. Harper, of the
Collins Hardware Company, will
prove interesting:
please advise us how to advertise
in order that we may compete with the
catalog houses with parcels post at
their disposal.
Advise us how to make up a cata
log that will make Sears, Roebuck &
Company's catalog look like fifteen
cents to the customer.

as operated in other countries?
Are you familiar with statistics

tributed by catalog houses to the diff

President Roosevelt is right in his
contention for the adjustment of the
custom of promoting men in the army
by the Standard of seniority. Under
such system it is often impossible for
a man to obtain high position until he
is too old to perforf action or useful
service Personal merit, not age, is
the standard by which men of all avo-
cations should be guaged.

| not inlist in our favor, that they not
make favorable comment, unless they
have studied the matter thoroughly"
The News has before expressed the
conviction that the progressive retail
er in the smallest town or city could
turn the parcels post to advantage,
and that its establishment would not
prove the bugaboo which some are in
clined to fear.
The average retail merchant sells
goods every day, quality considered,
as cheap as they can be purchased
from the big mail order houses, but
the buying public is not appraised of
the fact While the average retailer
cannot produce a "catalog that will
make Sears, Roebuck & Companys
catalog look like fifteen cents" as
our correspondent suggests, there are
other and more effective ways to con-
vince the public that money spent at
home will get more in the long run
than if sent to the distant cities for
merchandise of questionable quality
The coming of the parcels post is
certain. President Roosevelt recon-
mends it in his message. 1t is urged
by many Democrats as well. And the
country has come to regard it's estab-
lishment as the next progressive step
in the evolution of transportation and
the bringing of the rural population
into closer relation with the rest of
the world.
There is Just as much reason for it
as there was for the establishment
of the mails, the telegraph, telephone
Or the express.
Opposition to the establishment of
the parcels post originated with the
express companies, and the antago-
nism of the retail merchant has been
aroused cnIeiiy through the literature
prepared at their expense.
But progressive retailers are not
sleeping. The slogan of keep your
money at home" is being urged
through the columns of the local press,
and the home trade idea" has spread
to almost every section of the coun-
try.
With the help of the local newspa
pers, which is always at the COM
mand Of the retail merchant who
makes liberal use of it's advertising
columns. The News believes that the
enterprising retailers of Hattiesburg
will welcome the establishment of the
parcels post.
With rural carriers selling stamps
and money orders and delivering pack.

business will increase materially, and
