Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. sullivan.1
Every failure is step to success;
every detection of what is false directs
US to what Is true; every trial ex-
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not only SO. but scarcely any attempt
is entirely failure; scarcely any theo-
ry, the result of steady thought, is al
together false. No tempting form of
error Is without some latent charm de-
rived from truth. With these thoughts
In mind have prepared what I call
the consumers creed.
A Gate to the City.
1t is not a religious creed. If it were
would not be writing it, as / am
afraid | might get my metaphors
crossed This is business creed,
something like the people of New Eng
land unconsciously adopted when Lord
North undertook to tax them. Thereto
fore they had always been accustomed
to divide on points. 1t so happened,
fortunately, that their opposition to
Lord North was point on which they
were all united. 1t was a business
point.
] have written creed upon which
the people of the north, south, east
and west can all unite for their own
good.
A good creed is gate to the city
which has golden foundations; a mis-
leading creed may be road to de-
struction, or If both misleading and
alluring 1t may become what Shake
speare calls primrose path to the
eternal bonfire.
Perhaps my creed Is nothing more
than set of principles which it would
be well for every consumer to practice.
Read them and then adopt them as
your very own:
A Business Creed.
First.-I do not patronize the mail
order system because 1t Is selfish and
greedy and for the reason that / buy
at home, where my interests are.
Second.-If this community is good
enough for my family and l to live in
1t ought to be good enough for my fam.
lily and to buy our necessaries in.
Thlrd.-l will not take the word of
the mail order house for Its goods, as
] want to see what am buying, and ! |
want to get what pay for.
Fourth.-l do not patronize the mail |
order houses because they demand
cash In advance, and when am
broke and sick and need supplies my
home dealer is willing to "carry" me-
Fifth.-I patronize the home dealer
because he stands back of his goods
and In case Of error is willing to rec
tlfy.
Sixth.-I patronize the home mer- |
chant because believe a man ought to |,
spend his money In the community in |
which he earns 1t.
SEVENTH patronize the home mer-
chant because | believe the man who
sells what he produces and buys what
he needs at home cannot be injured |
by deceptive catalogue pictures or al
legged bargains.
Eighth.-I do not patronlze the mail |
order houses because they frequently
sell damaged and inferior goods, which
It avails man nothing to attempt to |
exchange. But the man patronize--
he home merchant, the man who helps
20 pay the town. county and state tax
will exchange any article | buy from
him which is unsatisfactory.
Ninth.-l spend my money with my
nome merchant In preference to some
nail order house In a distant city be.
'ause the local merchants help to sup
bort the public schools where send
ny children, the churches and the de-
PENDENT poor in my vicinity.

Heavy buying Of copper was renewed

that price. The market both I'm Europe

the impression prevails that 14% cents

gestion Of the close sequence Of the
excellent buying in January does not
get so much attention. What stands
out is that the season OF outdoor work
has come and many buyers Of iron and
steel are acting as though they would
never need to buy again. That there
may be a sudden change from this
attitude is recognized. but such a
change is not in sight.
