The Parcel Post.

The following from the Macon
Times-Democrat is as true here as
it in Macon.
The parcel post law will be put in
effect January 1st. The heads of
St. Louis department stores state
that they expect great things in
their business from the parcels post
and they are having meetings of
their associations to devise plans
for extending their trade territory
and to attract trade from the sur
rounding country. 1t will now more
than ever before behoovethe Macon
merchants and the other merchants
in Macon county to make their
plans for holding their trade. If
the merchants of the cities adver-
tise better bargains than our own
merchants offer. then Macon and
Macon county will lose some bust
ness. If the Macon merchants ad-
vertise their business as actively
as do the city merchants, then we
continue to hold our home trade.
The mail order house cannot hurt
the home merchant if the home
merchant will advertise the bar
gains he has for the trade right
here at home. His goods can be
seen before the purchase is made
and can be returned if not right.
Folks, read your home advertise
ments carefully before sending your
good money elsewhere.
