GREAT GROWTH OF THE
MAIL ORDER BUSINESS,
ca~leuiatsd TO etssssr Humanity In
Communities Where Merchants Havs
Struggle For Existsnes.

The marvellous growth of the mail
order business in recent years Is cal
culated to stagger humanity In local
communities where general merchants
or specialists in any sort Of merchan-
disc are struggling for an existence
against the gigantic concerns In the
big cities which have back Of them the
power Of millions Of dollars capital. A
writer in the Saturday Evening Post
tells how a large mail order house was
reorganized. The concerns total assets
were valued at s1o.G0o.0 900. 1t issued
preferred stock to that amount and
common stock representing good will
to the amount of S30,O00.O00.
To appraise the good will Of a mer-
chandising concern-which. In the ma
ture of the case. could have no monop-
olistic advantages-at S3 for every dol
lar of its tangible assets seemed rather
excessive.
A syndicate of shrewd capitalists in
timately acquainted with the business
was said to have bought a large block
of 1t at a high figure. At current quo
tations. then. this concerns mere good
will was vaiaed at S36,OOO.O00. More
over. this house was founded not many
years ago by men of small means. and
the tangible assets of S10.000.000 at
the time Of reorganization were COM
posed very largely of accumulated
profits.
So we have n total value OF about
$40. 0OO. 900 created or built up within
a comparatively few years in the bust
ness of selling at retail groceries. dry
goods, furniture. and so on. TO farmers.
villagers and the residents of the
smaller towns and cities throughout
the United States.
The local merchant finds himself con-
fronting a proposition that means n
fight to the finish for self preservation.
The lightweight as to capitalization is
pitted against the heavyweight. If the
townsmen and personal friends of the
lightweight fail to back him in the
ring there is a likelihood of n knock
out in an early round. They car back
him by giving him the cheerful aid of
trading at home instead of increasing
the advantage of the heavyweight by
doing catalogue buying.
