must have a cut for each article listed in
that catalogue. After these cuts are all
made, which cost on an average Of 80
cents each, they must be put in book
form. All told it takes something over
a year from the time YOU start until the
catalogue is finished. and the old stock is
still getting older.
Thus the customers look at the pic
lures # old goods that probably have
beeIf on the shelf H. wears. This looks
cheap. but the fact is vou pay what the
merchant thinks it is worth. and then
pay 80 cents extra for the cut and cost
of printing and mailing catalogue.

stuff is worth, 90 to your LEGAL merchant,

the one who sends off to~do his buying
is the one who gets robbed, and soon gets
poor. The merchant lost the business.
This makes him poor The newspapers
lost the advertising. This makes them
poor. And the whole business went to
