CATALOGUE HOUSES.


The Inauguration OF mail order de

dustries with view OF saving to the
city and state some 100000 which
it is estimated go out annually to
large eastern catalogue concerns is a
suggestion made by the Denver cham.
ber OF commerce.
A vast amount OF local capital Is
spent every twelve months by Colo.
rado people for goods that are no bet
ter and no lower In price than are
the same goods carried by the mer-
chants OF Denver and the state. In
order to estimate correctly the effect
OF Eastern catalogue trade upon local
merchants. the Denver chamber OF
commerce has taken hold OF the mat
ter, with a view OF deterpiining the
amount OF ready cash thus neediessly
diverted into the wrong channels. and
also to learn. II possible. what remedy
can be successfully applied.-Denver

The above Is to the point. You
cannot build up Durango by sending
TO catalogue houses. And we guaran-
tee every man. woman and child who
will take a $50 bill to a grocery or
dry goods house that he win secure
cash discounts that win equal the low
est priced catalogue house In the coun-
try for Inferior goods.
