 MAIL ORDER HOUSES-A great deal is said about the magnitude of the business Of mail order houses but few people really appreciate just how big a business these establishments do. X little line on it has been ob- tanied through money order statistics in the Phoenix postoffice. During the month of April or from April 1 to April 2S inclusive. 1S0 money orders varying from few cents to many dol lars. and. totaling sl79iIG were sent from Phoenix to three mail order houses in Chicago and New York The average size Of the orders was nearly slo. This it should be borne in mind is but a single month and to only three or the scores of mail order houses claiming a country wide patronage. though of course they are among the larger establishments Undoubtedly the total mail order business of the city if it could he traced would be well toward s100.000 a year And yet Phoenix is not supposed to be nearly so rich a field for the mail order houses in proportion to it's size as are the mining camps and rural settle ments where there are fewer stores, smaller stocks and higher prices But one thing it does demonstrate. is that advertising pays and that the mail or der men know it.
