STORIES OF THE ROLLING DOLLAR
Where Mail Order Goods Come From
Copyright, 1914

about what becomes of the children
after they are through with them.
"The goods those mills turn out
go to the cheap trade like the mail
order houses, but the word-artists who
write the catalogues cover up that
fact very nicely. To sell at cheap
prices catalogue house must buy
the cheapest possible stuff regardless
of how it is made.
"That is why the sweat shops are
still running down on the East Side
in New York. When you buy cata-
logue suit you never know who made
it or how. If most people who buy
those cheap clothes could see where
they were made-well, they would
not relish their dinner right away.
"Goods sold through a reliable
store can be traced back, but if you we
ever forced what they call an 'ad-
justment' out of a mail order house
you know how far you would get
on tracing back a suit that carried
disease germs"
81 suppose not even a catalogue
house can be an unmixed blessing, !"
said The Rolling Dollar.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-05-26

"That's the advantage of travel
ing" laughed The Rolling Dollar to
the shiny quarter. "Just as soon
as l was dropped on that lounge l
knew where it came from. Only a
few of them in Centerville, thank
goodness, for folks here aren't run
ming to the money order window all
the time.
"That lounge came from one Of
the larger towns Of New York state.
1t is a manufacturing town, and men
were getting from SIS TO $22.50 per
week in the factories and girls 81 to
$40.
"Then one of the big Chicago mail
order houses opened sofa factory
there. The boss advertised widely
for help, and girls came by the score.
But they found wages were to be
only So to So, with less men in pro-
portion. The boss got his help by
his advertising, and he worked ac-
cording to the slick system the cat
alogue houses always use with their
employees.
"Soon the other factories, seeing
that the sofa factory could pay low
er wages, cut their wage scale. Then
the town went upside down, with
four strikes in three months and la
Dor conditions disrupted generally.
The factories hit back by bringing in
the cheapest possible labor, and f.
nally most of the decent American
men and women, who before the mail
order sofa factory started had made
living wages, lost their jobs for good.
The strikes and tie-ups caused al
couple of merchants to fail, and the
town has been set back dozen
years.
"But it is true you can buy that
lounge such as it is for a little less
than the furniture man could sell you
a reliable article for And the cat
alog illustration certainly makes it
look like a first-class article"
"Ever been down in the cotton
mill country?" asked the shiny quart
er. "There they work little boys
and girls IL and IL hours a day in
an atmosphere that stiles a strong
man. 1t is the cheapest labor those
bosses can buy, and they care nothing
