Local Dealer Sometimes to Blame.

Local Dealer Sometimes to Blame.
Thousands Of dollars go out of JEFF
ferson county each year In connection
with the mail order business, to the
loss Of the local dealers and manu-
facturers. 1t does not help very much
to appeal on the ground of patriot
ism to those people who buy of outside
dealers, as purchasers go where they
think they can find the best bargains.
Every one must recognize the fact
that the local dealer cannot prosper
without local trade, but there are a
lot of people who fail to govern them
selves accordingly. Orders for goods
are sent to Syracuse or New York or
Chicago which could have been as
cheaply bought in Watertown, but this
is frequently the local dealers fault.
The great success of the big mail or
der houses has been built up almost
wholly by advertising. Fortunes are
spent in letting the people of the coun-
try know what they have to sell. Lib
eral space In the newspapers and mag
azines is used to exploit the mail or
der business In addition to the cata-
logues issued. These are the avenues
through which the houses draw Q
large part Of their business,

Blythedale had arranged, as he
thought, that there should be no In.

morning he had posted his game
keepers In circle some distance
away from the dueling ground with in
structions to let no one pass. Al
though they were burning with curl

this is more than offset by climatic
