TRIED MAIL-ORDER METHODS

viii Not Try the Same Thing

Copyrighted. 1903. by Alfred c. CLARKE
Mr.. Brown, a farmer living In
Boone county. Mo. decided 20 buy a
spring wagon. The next time he was
I'm town he went 20 the local dealer
20 see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered 10
him at SIS. He thought he would
take Il. but before ordering he looked
over a mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described a wagon which.
as far MS description went. was the
same as the one he saw in the deal
er's store room. In fact. the descrip-
ton was written In such a convinc-
ing manner and all OF the good points
OF the mail order vehicle we're brought
out so thoroughly that II appeared 20
be superior 10 the other one. And the
price was only s6745. Mr. Brown
thought OF the saving OF s755 which
represented several days of hard work
The more he thought about II the
moro he wanted 20 save that amount
and IN the end the Chicago mail or
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived.
with q freight bill OF $3.50. he rode 60
town with his son and spent half q
day putting II together. He had to
buy a screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and few bolts TO replace
some that had been lost In shipment.

local markets would disappear and
the farmer would be compelled TO sell
as well as buy from the catalogue
concerns The rural districts would
be devoid OF business activity while
the wealth of the country would be
centered in one or two points. Buy
ing by mail may be attractive, but the
most pronounced mail order fend
must look with apprehension on any
condition whereby he would be COM
PEELED TO depned on the mail order
man for a market for his products.
But the idea OF saving on individual
purchases Is. TO a great extent.

to buy In large quantities, he Is not
able to buy for much less than the
country merchant. Competition In all

dends on enormous capital II they can
sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity OF merchan-
disc at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing. but you would not buy the same
goods OF your local merchant that you
buy OF the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here Is an item clipped from the
Parma. Mich. News which shows the
nefarious system OF the mail order
concerns, and how they victlmlze their
patrons:
"a farmer purchased two sacks OF
binding twine of large Chicago cata.
logue house, and upon It's arrival this
morning q ball was unrolled and meas
ured with a ball OF Plymouth twine
sold by local dealers. when Il was
found that the Chicago article was Just
306 feet short OF that sold at home.
There being ten balls In a sack. Il will
be seen that the farmer lost 6.i20 feet.
or over a mile OF twine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then. too.
the mail order house product was OF
an inferior quality. being full OF knots,
and one farmer standing near duriog

Il would never work on n binder. Now
we wish to ask you. does it pay 10

Bankrupt stock. merchandise that

OF the factories made over into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons Of the mail order houses
are buying. Here 10 an extract from
an article that appeared In the Sioux
Falls. 8. ID. Leader:
The mail order house selling vehl-
cies by the catalogue route, Is more
than a pirate. II Is a turkey.buzzard
II takes the freaks and failures that
have died for want OF real merit. and
tries to stifie legitimate business by

delay Is that they do not carry the
goods In stock, and must purchase
them after your order Is received. In
Chicago, for example, no mail order
house will sell TO any person living
within the city limits. and the reason
for this Is that these concerns pur-
chase a large amount OF the merchan.
disc they are selling from the retail
stores OF the city. the proprietors OF
which refuse 10 sell them the goods
except upon the condition that they
are not to sell TO the people OF the
city.
