Establishments lost money in carrying their advertised

could long endure And there is farminded con-

But at the time the will buy where he can
buy the cheapest Quality being equal it then becomes
question of who sell for the least money 1t is upon
this principle that the mail order houses have built up
their business but the mail order houses have betrayed the
confidence of their cusomershave taken advantage the
leeway allowed in that the money is collected before the
article out of stock thus giving opportunity
ply an inferior grade of goods.
But the merchant--the merchant who makes money
and whose business becomes solid and substantial the

his customers with the best quality of merchandise at

correct. 1t only remains to work out the details
