HOME TOWN BUILDING.
How to Turn the Trade of
the Outlying Districts To-
wards the Stores of the
Local Merchants.

In my previous letter. promised to
say something about the business of
the mail order catalogue houses, as it is
looked at from the farmers viewpoint.
In the first place. the mail order
business is here to stay, simply for the
reason that it is popular and is looked
upon as blessing by the farmers of
the country. 1t is based upon a
principle of barter and exchange, which
always has and always will get the
business. The big well illustrated
catalogue has become the family guide
book in many of the rural districts Of
the United States and of England as
well.
Not many people know that the mail
order plan of selling goods originated
in England, but that is fact, Up
ward Of sixty-five years ago, few of
the employees of the Government in
London pooled few dollars, placed
the amount in the hands Of the Pur-
chasing Agent of the Navy Depart
ment, with the consent Of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy. and from the pur-
chase of household supplies for these
few clerks dev eloped the great cooper
alive mail order business of the Naval
Junior Stores of London.
The founder of the first mail order
business in America simply copied the
plan of the English Navy department
clerks, and eliminated the shareholder
feature, which is part Of the original,
as well as Of the present Naval Junior
stores method.
When the first order was passed
by the Secretary of the English navy.
granting the privilege of making use
of the facilities of the Purchasing De-
partment. it was stipulated that the
goods so purchased must be for the
exclusive use Of the department en-
ployes only. This resulted in a share
holders association, which was limited
to the clerks in the Navy Department.
as long as the buyer in that department
was made use of, but the advantages
of the plan were quickly realized and
the employees in all of the other depart
ments Of the Government clamored for
the privilege Of participating in it. The
shares we're then increased, a small
warehouse secured, and a special buyer
was employed. after which the govern
ment purchasing department was not

cellent dividends. which are paid quar-
terly. The selling business of the as
ISOLATION is confined exclusively to the
shareholders. The only reason why
this plan has been continued to the
present time, is that it is part of the
English habit eto stick to traditional
methods. That is where the mail order
catalogue plan of doing business origin
ated. The Chicago man who started
the first mail order house in the United
States was not pioneer, except in the
changes made in the selling plan.
1t is true that the mail order houses
of the big cities have monopolized the
bulk of the business of the rural dis
tricts. but they have made themselves
very popular with the farmers Of the
country and many people look upon
them as blessing. That plan of do
ing business has come to stay. 1t is
the common sense method and it will
continue to get the orders. The big
catalogues are instructive and interest

are more so.
