Deception Hurts.

A member Of one Of the
large Chicago advertising
agencies recently said: Hon
est advertising IS being given
a severe blow by the mail or
der houses When asked
for an explanation he declared
that advertising, to remain on
= high level, must assure the
customer an article which IS
exactly as expected.
That is something the
mail order houses are not do
ing," he added, 80 many Gus
toners are being deceived by
mail order advertising and
buying SO much stuff that
does not come up to represen-
tation that they are losing
faith"
Now, what the Chicago ad-
vertising man says meets ex-
actly the Chicago or large
center situation. He is tell
ing Of situation that the
honest manufacturer or job
Der in the large cities is fac
ing, due to the fraudulent
methods on the part Of the
mail order houses. But these
same fraudulent practices in
an advertising way only
strengthen the position of the
local merchant.
The local merchant adver-
tises his bargains, and the
customers can step into the
store and see if the adver-
tised representations are true.
No fraud can be practiced by
the home retailer. What he
offers for sale must be exactly
what he says it IS through the
columns. Of the local newspa-
per.
The oftenet the people Of
our community who patronize
the mail order houses get
stung" in their purchases,
the sooner they will get back
to the old basis Of being
strictly home buyers. What
Abraham Lincoln said about
fooling the people" IS true il
tile merchandising field as
we'll as IN others, and the
mail order Institutions are the
ones who are going to find
out the truth Of it. They
can't continue to conduct
fraudulent- advertising meth

Of their customers. How
ever, the very thing they are
doing is aHording the home

The president. at least, does not
appear TO fear that many mills will
close and bring about this condition.
He has given out an intimation that
he does not expect a reduction IN the
cost of living just yet, adding that
the tariff is but the first point on
which this problem must be attacked
and that there Will probably be no
marked decline in general prices until
after the currency bill has been passed.
The explanation seems 20 indicate
that this cost of living reduction is one
of those matters that never are but al
ways TO bs secured When the chr.

another explanation and look for a
statement that the cost of living de.

To the Honrable Mayor and members
of the City Council
The improvements which have taken
place in our city during the past few
years have been many and with pride
we point to them to visiting strangers
as an Indication OF the spirit Of public
Improvement, which has taken a firm
hold of our officials. But when the
stranger points to the numerous cows
that are peacefully browsing along
our streets. we must admit with
shame and regret. that In this respect
we are very backward. Is there no
redress from this cow-nuisancef Must
a man employ a private Waterman or
stay home from his work TO watch
his premises from the depredations OF
his neighbor's cow What right
has the owner Of "A COW TO turn her
loose 10 pasture on other peoples pro
perty, when he does not own a foot Of
ground himselfI This idea of a
poundmaster walking along the streets
in the morning with a dog chasing the
COWS outside the city limits is a farce

to run his COW loose. as he knows the
kind poundmaster will not take her TO
the pound. but chase her away TO her
pasture, and in a little while. she will
return again TO the city. where the
lawns and branches of young fruit and
ornamental trees offer better feeding.
| would humbly suggest. that for a
time two or three poundmasters were
appointed, as one man can not take
up cows. and a real effort made TO
make the cow-owners understand,
that they must not leave their cows

also suggest, that the ordinance be
amended. 30 that the offender in addi-
tion to paying the ound-chsrRes was
fined. Please do something gentlemen |
