BOOST FOR HOME TRADE.

Much complaint is made by local
tradesmen that customers buy so
largely from mail order houses, and
out of town. No doubt there are goo
grounds for the complaint. It's nat
ural for economically inclined people
to buy in the market that appears TO
offer them the most for their money.
Naturally the home field belongs to
the local merchant. lie is on the
ground. Why then does he not re-
main in possession. Why is 1t pos
sible for a house 500 miles away to
take his trade away from his door?
There is a reason What is it?
Goods are goods no matter where you
buy them. They have a certain
value because of the cost of the raw
material, the expense of manufacture
ing, the transportation and the deal
ers commission. If all parties were
fair the item of cost should be ap-
proximately the same for an article
whether purchased in New York,
Chicago. Omaha or Falls City, when
laid down to the buyer all charges
paid. Why then cannot our dealers
sell as cheaply as others? They can
and they do. There are tricks in all
trades. And here is just one of them
as a sample. The reader will readily
recall others equally catchy worked
upon the unsuspecting buyer. Re
Gently one of the big houses in Oma-
ha offered in their toy department
doll buggies, the cheapest We're %
cents apiece, actually worth 40 cents
each when sold in dozen lots. The
house actually lost money ON every
buggy of this kind they sold. But
they didn't lose much ON them. be.
cause they sold very few. This they
expected when the price was cut, but
next grade of buggies were marked
$3.50 worth about $3.50 per dozen
On every one of these they sold the!
doubled their money. And the!
sold a dozen of the dearer mes t
one of the cheaper ones. The cheal
buggies were simply used as the bal
to catch the unsophisticated custo
mers and scores were caught.
Last Saturday a young man purch
ased from a clothier in Falls City
a good, substantial winter suit, il
one of the latest styles and fabrics
He came near refusing the suit be
cause the price was considerable low
The Falls City tribune., 1910-11-25

er than he had expected it would be.
Because it was not marked high the
suit At once fell in his estimation.
So much are We dependent upon the
price Of a thing when judging Of its
quality or usefulness 10 US.
Mail order houses have made a
careful study of the whlms. eccen-
tricities and fraiIities of their custo-
mers and they make their appeals
along those lines. They are great
users of printers ink. They know
how to advertise. They have learn
ed to talk trade most c%onnincingly,
and they keep everlastingly a. it.
And they have results, it pays. They
get the trade.
The home merchant has n way
out. He must fight fire with fire.
He must meet them on their own
ground. lie must talk shop. He
mnst advertise, not trickily but on
the square, and if he does it wisely,
if he offers good quality at fair
prices he will win out in time.
But he must be up and doing. He
must boost for the home market, He
must cry up his business. He must
advertise and press home To the peo-
pie the important fact that he is
here for their good, and that the
goods he handles are the goods they
need. Every merchant cannot do
this. But, then. every man in bust
ness is not a business man.
Business is not as grisk at present
as merchants and dealers might

frightened up in the spring buying has
been slow. But especially has this
been SO since the general slump
in the prices of farm products. The
lateness of the corn harvest this fall
has something to do with keeping
country people away from town. This
fine weather they are exceedingly
anxious to get their corr all gather
ed. and are straining every avail
able resource to accomplish their OBJ
ject. As a consequence few of the
farmers find time to come to town,
and fall shopping is pushed off for a
more convenient season. This does
not necessarily meal that the coun-
try people will buy less than usual.
But it does mean that their buying
this fall will be largely confined to
the weeks just preceding the holidays
Last year the extremely bad wealth
e. delayed the buying SO that the
bulk of the goods were purchased the
two weeks Immediately preceding
Christmas. This year the supreme
Il tine weather is working the same
effect and trade will suffer until the
holiday rush, when more goods will
lave the stores and more money go
into the hands of our merchants than
ever belore.
The Falls City tribune., 1910-11-25

Any obseryant person must re-
mark sooner or later that We, the
people of Richardson County are in
deed n peculiar people. There is no
denying that we are just different
from most other people, The facts
are here to prove our culpability. We
are queer. Now listen! De we ever
thank any public benefactor for his
disinterested service? OF curse
We don't. Yes, we do appreciate
their benefactions, but, admit it? not
ON your life. There is our mayor
for example. He gives many times
more of his time to the public veal
than he ever gets pay for. Ever
thank him for his sacrifice? Of
course not Might make him proud.
Shy a rotten egg at him, rather, to
keep him humble. Then there are
the city fathers and the rest. Some
expression of good will and appre-
citation from the citizens for service
rendered would not be out of place
at this particular time, There are
he teacher in school and Sunday
school who are giving of their very
life for the uplift and advancement of
the community. Did you plan to
stop over this Thanksgiving and with
a warm hand-elasp say thank you a
bit mellow like. Then there are the
clerks and all the long array of pub
lie service people, who wait upon you
so royalty, will you thank them for
once? Richardson County folks are
queer, they do things, and giving
thanks is one of them.
