MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Herbert NJ. Peet. editor of the
Whiteville News and the Genesee
{Ps,) Times. comments in his paper
on the move about to be made by
the big mail order house. Scar. Roe
buck & Co. Of Chicago.
Il seems that Sears. Roebuck &,
Co. VIII this year establish branch
stores in most states of the Union.
Mr.. Pe>t thinks this is because of
the parcel post system and its zone
feature.
If such is true it can readily be
seen that the country storskeeper
will have a harder row 70 hoe" than
ever. Mr.. Pset suggests that the
country merchant to offset this move
on the part OF the mail-order octopus.
commence a sane. logical and
thorough advertising campaign.
He says;
The country merchant has one
friend-one who has for years fought
without remuneration. the battle Of
the country merchant against the mail
order propaganda. That one sterling
friend is the country editor. Il is
high time now that the home store
keeper go to his. friend. the editor,
and say: In you see my one hope
OF salvation. Let's you and I plan
for the future. I will talk to my
customers through your paper. and
I will put it up to them that they
can get the same thing of me as
cheap. all things considered, as they
can Of the mail-order house. be.
heye they will have more confidence
in me. If l advertise more consistently
with what | expect in return: Ths
country editor when approached
thusly will have more spirit TO con.
tinue his fight on the mal-ordel
houses. and also viii begin to realize
in financial gain on what heretofore
the country merchant has expected
MIN to pay"
Editor Peet is optimistic. He be.
lieves that if the country merchan
puts his shoulder to the wheel with
the country editor. Sears. Roebucl
& Co. viii notice a decrease in il
business instead of an increase.
Sears. Roebuek & Co. says Mr.
Peet. have built up their large trad,
solely through extensive advertising
If the country merchant will follow
the same tactics. in proportion to hi
business. in a short time he will b,
;;ust as rich pro rata as Sears. Roe
