There Is an old-time stomach pre-

One or two Mi-o-na tablets after

THE FAT MAIL ORDER HOUSES
From the Burlington Hawk-Eye.l

dous incomes. They hire no labor
here nor have they any capital In
vested here.
We are not informed Of any home
merchants declaring any fat divi-
dends of late, although all things
taken into consideration they are sell
ing better goods at lower prices than
the plethoric mail order corporations.
The mail order fan" in his unique
arithmetic, forgets that he pays cash
in advance and he generally fails to
add the freight cost to the original
cost of the article he sends for. 1t
does not occur to him until he takes
an invoice of the junk at home and
a sorrowing long look at his dw1ndled
bank account, what an extravaganza
habit the catalogue habit becomes.
Even were the prices of the mail or
der houses lower than those OF the
local merchant, the patron OF the Tor
mer would still be the loser for he
will find that he has purchased dur
ing the course of year many articles
for which he had no use whatever.
He bought them just because he could
not resist the hypnotizing catalogue.
The new bridge, the Tri-State fair,
and other new. enterprises. at pres
ent engaging the attention of this
community, are hardly more essen.
tial to the future of this town than
that our people should cease enrich
ing the gigantic mail order houses
by their misguided patronage and
should patronize the home merchant.
We have said 1t before and we will
continue to say that the dollar
earned at home should be spent at
home, if we would have prosperous
community.

! Burlingtonians and Others who are
patrons of the great mail order houses
may be interested in learning that
one concern, by reason Of liberal
patronage at the cost of home mer-
chants, has had a most prosperous
business year and that the directors
| last Saturday declared a stock d1vl-
dend of fifty per cent. 1t calls for
the issuance of y20.000.000 new COM
mon stock absolutely free. The mel
on has a par value Of S20,O00,OOo.
With the stock quoted Saturday at
1877, it's market value is much more.
Naturally the issuance Of $2O,OOO,00o
new common stock will tend to re-
duce its market value but 1t Is safe
to say that its value will remain at a
snug figure above par. In 1911 the
same concern paid stock dividend
of 33 1-3 per cent. Thus within
period OF four years it ordered a stock
distribution of SS 1-3 per cent In eX-
ira dividends and at the same time
paid cash dividends at the rate OF
seven per cent. Its annual sales have
increased from S51,00,000 In 1909 to
S101 ,121,659 in 1914.
Let us hope that these stupendous
figures may open the eyes of those
inoculated with the mail order germ
to the folly of sending their money
away from home for. their daily
needs, thereby swelling the Golfers
of multi-millionaires who have no in
terest in communities such as ours,
save for the money they can squeeze
out of them by glittering and allur-
ing catalogues. They pay no taxes
except in their own cities and to the
