THE LOSING SIDE OF
MAIL ORDER TRADING
How An Iowa Farmer Lost over
$500 By Buying Away From
HOme-Saved Money on
One End But Killed the
Home Town

Hans GarbuS, a German farmer
of Iowa, has discovered that the
benefits which appear on the sur
face as attaching to the mail or
der plan sometimes spells disas-
ter and has written very inter-
eSting story of his views in a GER
tain farm paper. Here is a part
of his story:
I'VE farmers need awakening
to the fact that we unmiStakably
have reached the period where we
must think and plan. | am one
OF the slow thinking men that had

my experience that others may
profit, for knowledge is more ex-
pensive now than ten years ago.
"Twenty-nine years ago l began
my farm career. | had an old
team and $50. Our furniture was
mostly hOme-made-chairs, cup-
board and lounge made from dry
goods boxes, neatly covered with
ten-cent cretOnne by my girl wife.
We rented eighty acres. Being
a boy of good habits | got all need
ed machinery and groceries of
our home merchants on credit,
until fall crops were sold. The
first year was a wet season and
l did not make enough to pay
creditors. | went to each on date
OF promise and explained condi-
lions, paying as much as possible.
and they all carried the balance
over another year. They con-
tinued to accommodate me until |

of my own.
AS soon as | owned these few
acres the mail order houses be-

gradually | began sending nv
loose change to them, letting my
accounts stand in my home town

good line of business in all the
branches, merchants who were
willing to help an honest fellow
over a bad year, and a town full
OF people who came twice a week
OF trade and visit. Our little coun-
try town supported a library.
high school, ball team, and we
had big celebrations every year.
"A farm near a live town soon
doubles in value. | sold my forty
acres at a big advance and bought
an eighty, gradually adding to it
until | had 200 acres of the best
land in Iowa. | then felt no need
of asking favOrs, and found il
easy to patronize the mail order
agents that came almost weekly
to our door. regret to say that
was the llrSt IN the county to
make up a neighbOrhood bill and
send 1t to mail order house,
Though we got bit every once in
a while, we got in the habit of
sending away for stuff.
Gradually our merchants les
Sened their stock of goods-for
lack OF patronage. Finally we be-
gan TO realize that when we need

or clothing for sickness or death,
we had to wait and send awav

One by one our merchants moy-
ed to places where they were ap-
preciated, and men of less energy
moved in. Gradually our town
has gone down; our business
houses are tacky' in appearance.
a number are empty; our schools
churches and walks are going
down, we have no band, no Ii
brary nor ball team. There is no
business done in the town, and
therefore no taxes to keep things
up. Hotel is closed for lack of
travel. Go down to the depot
when the freight pulls in and YOU
will see the sequel in mail order
packages.
Nine years ago my farm was
worth $l95 an acre; today I'd have
a hard matter to sell it for S167 an
acre. 1t is too far from a live
town'-SO every farmer has said
that wants to buy. He wants a
