 The mail order trading business. whether done by merchant for his stationery or by customers for mer- handise, is the greatest curse that ever beset the trade of any town. It is antagonistic to the common in- terests of a community, to business and to people in general. A dollar spent at home is a dollar we'll spent in that it isf a circulating medium in the community, but dollar sent away is dollar gone forever.- Tucson Post. }
