Only the home can found a state. 1t
is the seminary Of all other institu-
tions. There is magic In that little
word home. 1t is a mystic circle that
surrounds comforts and virtues never
known beyond its hallowed limits.

Destroying Your Paradise.
The retail mail order houses are try
ing to destroy your home and your
paradise by inducing you to buy your
necessaries from chem instead of your
local merchants. to the injury of your
home industries, home market and
home town.
There is so much difference in buying
goods of home place Of business and
ordering them by mail from >cata-
logue house from mere picture or de-
scription that ! want to point out
few facts that many may never have
thought of.
May Examine and Select.
At the home store you make your
wants known; the salesman shows you
the desired article. helps select or sug-
gest the article best suited to your
needs.
Thus you have an opportunity to ex-
anime the quality. to see the style, to
select the size and color. as the case
may be; you can compare the different
grades. and then If everything Is satis-
factory and in your Judgment the price
is right You will make the purchase.
Will Exchange or Refund.
When you get home and upon a rigid
examination you find flaw or mar on
your purchase, or the article may be
too large or too small, or black in
stead of blue then the next day or
the week after you go to your dealer
and explain. and he will gladly ex-
change the item or refund the money.
And another matter worthy of
serious thought is this: Supposing the
mail order houses could sell goods
cheaper and everybody would order bis
goods from them.
The local stores would soon exist
only in memory. You would then be
at the mercy of the mail order houses
entirely and be obliged to send away ,
for everything. T.
