ING so: NOT so THE MAIL ORDER
HOUSE In this country where men
and money are both busy credit ac-
commodations mean much. The home

fair treatment when you have cash

over the country are the takers of
the bulk of the manufactured pro-
ducts of the country and they are the
ones the manufacturer has in mind
when he puts the lowest possible
price on his product that will bring
a fair return on his investment. If

tition he is making only a minimum
profit, how can he by any possibility
quote Roebuck Tears a lower one
without seriously affecting his divi-
dends? Dividends you know, are
what factories are run to make.
The Gown Factory Plea.
This same argument applies to an
other of their misleading claims.
Many catalogue houses lay great
stress on their ability to sell an article
at a low cost price because they "own
their own factory" Do you suppose
there is any good reason for us to
believe that their factory can manu-
facture an article cheaper than any
other factory simply because they
own it? Catalogue houses owning

turn on the money investment Should
a factory put a price on its product
that would return to its stockholders
more than a fair rate of interest eth
er it's competitor would undersell it,
or new capital, of which there is al
ways an abundance seeking invest
ment, would enter the field and event
ually bring the price of the article
down to the point that would return
to the stockholders a rate of interest
satisfactory to investors in industrial
securities. In dwelling on this point
the purpose is to show that under
present industrial conditions the SELL
ing price of a manufactured article is
determined by its cost of production.
Every modern factory now has cost
systems which show to the fraction
of a cent the cost of their product
when it leaves their shipping room.
1t must be sold at certain figure to
pay a certain percentage of profit. 1t
costs no more per case to manufac-
ture the ten cases for little John
Smith than it does per case the thou
sand for Roebuck Tears, and If both
offer the same terms of payment they
will be charged exactly the same price.
The little John Smiths scattered all

the question and that side is their
side As matter of fact, however,
such is not the case. There is an
other side to the question and a
mighty important one that in all their

present it so clearly that even che

The Comparative Cost.
A thorough study of the merchan-
dising business from the time an ar
ticle leaves the factory till il reaches
the hands of the consumer will show
just about what it will cost to market
an article by any of the modern meth
ods of merchandising from
the shelves of the small country mer-
chant or from the highly centralized
mail order houses of the larger cities.
In making such a study many things
will become clear and easily under
stood that before seemed impossible
of solution, chief among which Will
be the one great truth that the cost
of marketing an article-from factory
to consumer-is approximately the
same, regardless Of the channel
through which it goes.

1t is possible that the person who
sends his money away to the distant
city to the big mail order house does
not stop to consider what effect his
action may have upon business con-
ditions at home. Take the care of
Pendleton as an example. One rea-
son for the slow growth of this city
is the fact that the adjacent farms
are large and only one family is found
on each. The size of any inland town
is governed to a great extent by the
population of the surrounding coun-
try.
If the residents of the country trib
utary TO a smaller city insist on buy
ing their merchandise and farm inn
plements from mail order houses and
travelling agents the merchants of the
smaller cities are deprived of a busi-
ness which is legitimately theirs and
the money thus spent is lost to the
community as a circulating medium.
/ This argument would have little
weight with the farmer who thinks
| that he is getting as good a quality
| OF merchandise for less money. He
| Is not particularly interested in the
| individual prosperity of the local mer-
chant However, if he would only
stop to consider that not only land
values but the price of the products
| OF his farm are much better or worse
according to the prosperity of the
city to which his farm is tributary.
Farms near a thriving city are always
more valuable than those near a dead
one.

Here are five concise and conclu-
sive reasons why people should pat
ronize home merchants in preference
to distant mail order houses:
/. CONSIDERING QUALITY,
FREIGHT AND SERVICE, HOME
PRICES ARE AS Low OR LOWER
THAN MAIL ORDER PRICES. State
ments by mail order houses to the
contrary are not founded on facts.
The mail order house attracts busi-
ness through playing upon mans
weakness to look upon distant fields
as greener than those at home.
Q. HOME MERCHANTS ARE IN
POSITION TO RENDER INCOM-
PARABLY BETTER SERVICE THAN
DISTANT HOUSES AND THEY DO
GIVE SUCH SERVICE. This is true
because one who buys of home mer-
chant may see the goods in person
discuss merits of articles and prices
may readily exchange articles and
have other privileges that are not pos
sible when one deals with a mail or
der house.
3. BY THE NATURE OF THINGS
ONE MAY RELY UPON HOME
MERCHANTS MORE THAN UPON
DISTANT MAIL ORDER HOUSES
This because the home merchan
meets his patron face to face and ha
to make good. If bad purchase 4

(By David Powell.

The one point dwelt on most per-
sistently by the catalogue houses in So
Letting business throughout the coun-
try is that they are in a position to
sell cheaper than the local merchant
owing to their abinty to buy in large
quantities and sell direct to the con-
sumner for cash 1t is not at all sur
prising that the fallacy of their ar
guments has gone undetected by the
great majority of the millions of peo-
pie to whom they have been present
ed.
A vast amount of good gray matter
and vari-colored printers ink has
been used in efforts to cdhvince the
people of the truth of their claims.
That they have been successful to an
amazing degree is evidenced by the
immense volume of business being
done by some of the larger concerns.
However, all that may be said or done
cannot alter the facts in the matter.
The truth is there. as it is in all
things, to be found by the diligent
searcher.
To anyone who has not taken the
time to thoroughly go to the bottom
of the matter 1t for a certainty does
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-05-29

To demonstrate the truth of this
statement it is necessary to begin with
the manufacture of an article and fol-
low it step by step through the pos
sible channels it might follow in
reaching the ultimate consumer. In
considering the mail order route we
will first dispose of the claim they
will make good use of that "By buying
in large quantities we can buy cheaper
than the small merchant" That
statement is pure bunk. John Smith
running a crossroads store in Podunk
valley can buy ten cases of any man
ufactured article at exactly the same
figure that Roebuck Tears, a million
dollar concern, would have to pay for
a thousand cases on the same terms.
To make 1t clear that this is true it
will be necessary to dwell at some
length on conditions existing in the
manufacturing world which govern
the selling price of their product.
The modern factory, manufacturing
staple products, enjoys keener COM
petition. if possible, than any other
line of business. 1t must sell it's
product to the retailer at price that
will return the smallest profit possi-
BILE that will permit a reasonable re-
