Let the pigs do the granting.
There is better work ahead for us.
Granting never lessened the burden OF a load, never pulled a COM
munity out OF a rut, never added a dollar to any mans bank account.
Gruntng makes pesImists, and pessmists have bad lvers, and
around.
And pessnlsts are always granting about something.
They grunt if times are bad; they grunt because they are not better
when they arr good; they grunt over their meals, and re- politics.
and religion, and anything else that offers a chance to grunt.
And then they grunt because there is nothing left to grunt about
Granting is a habit with them-it is their daily pashme-and
nothing is SO dear to their hearts as a great, big unadulturated grunt
Many of us grunt a part of the time, but some folks gunt all OF
the time.
Now let's. quit gruntng.
Let's get down to hard tacks and dig a lot of wealth out of this
community. It's here, but granting won't do the digging.
Let's make the coming year the greatest productive year in local
history.
Let's get nut and hustle-lets find the opportunities, or make them
where none exist
The soil is as rich today as it was a year ago, and it will produce
as much and the products will sell for more money.
There is nothing produced in this community but has a market
waiting for it. If we don't see the market, let's get out and find it.
Time is too short for it to hunt lis.
Let's 10 sit O dry goods boxes and wait for the world to come
to III feet We will die granting if W e do.
There's a great big place for us in the world. Let's fill it-ets
do somethng-lets let the res of the world know that we are alive,
that we are producers, that W e are something more than grunters.
Let's be optmSts-for optinSts do things, and eve grunt.
Let the pigs do the granting.
There are better times and lore congenial work ahead for u.s..
Let's all get busy and whoop it up.

= Columns have been written in thu
local newspapers Of Nevada to SHOW
the viciousness of the mail order
habit that seems to be firmly fixed
especially among the inhabitants O.
small towns and rural districts, A
huge catalogue, alluringly printed i.
colors, showing everything from .
Partisan gown at $1.69 to a moving
machine for 1920, catches the eye u
the rural buyer and he Immediately
begins to figure just how much he is
being swindled out of by his local
merchant, forgetting that the mer-
Gle and stands back of it with a guar
antee; that he is on the spot to hear
any complaint that may be made and
stands ready to see that the article IS
all the manufacturer claims for it, or
money back" A late report states
that Sears, Roebuck & Co. did a total
business Of $~S,464,713 during the
month Of May, an increase of nearly
one million dollars over the same
month last year, and by far the great
er part of this enormous business
came from the western farming and
industrial centers. 1t means that
hundreds OF communities were drain
ed OF that amoun Of cash that e
70 build up Chicago to the detriment
It their own communities.
In these days OF standardized arti-
cles a purchaser gets just what ne
pays for. This applies equally to
automobiles as to furniture, sewing
cream separators or ging-
ham gowns. No farmer would think
of buying a horse from a picture, 10
how highly colored the
might be, but he will fall fer

ture for 1898 and his wife will buy

out a fimsy pot rag. You can go
nto a household or on the farm OF
any patron Of the mail order house
and spot the goods he has paid his
good cash for and has been outrap-
,ously swindled in the transaction.
The victim OF the mail order habit
believes he is getting the advantage
II price because OF the greater buy
ng facilities Of the catalogue
louses-a delusion that is sedulously,
cultivated by these concerns. Nothing
s or can be further from the truth.
these days of standardization, as
.bove stated, a purchaser gets just
What he pays for--no more, no less.
When anyone offers you something
just as good as the standard ar

Do Mail Order Houses Do for
You and the Town You Live In?

any of the thousand or one things
that fill the pages of the catalogues
from these concernS and see what
you will get in reply.
With the exception of the stock
market, the mail order business is The
only business in which the entire cap
ital is advanced by the trader in ad-
vance Of the transaction. Further
more, it is a strictly cash business,
hence there are no risks, no bad
to make immediate delivery to the
customer which means capital tied hp
indefinitely. Did you ever stop to
realize what it would mean to your
home town and county in the way of
more taxable property, better streets
and roads, better schools and local
improvements if these millions sent
away, eve to return, were invested
right here as they should be? What
would you say to you home mer-
chant if he were to ask you to pay in
advance for every article you pur-
chased from him insight and unseen,
and hen be compelled to wait for two
or three weeks for delivery? But this
is what you do every time you send
for anything from a mail order house.
Do you know that there is not a
local paper published in any town I'll
this country but that can get more
money for advertising and boost
ing" from mail order houses, if it
would but accept it, than it can get
from all the merchants of the town
in which it is printed? But news
papers realize that a community IS
not builded by the money that is sent
out of it.
Try to imagine what would be the
result if this mail order business were
to be pushed to a logical conclusion,
when every merchant was compelled
to go out of business through lack of
patronage. Suppose you were
unable to buy any article of any kind
or character in your w neighbour
hood, but must send away for every
that entered into the daily needs
81 your life; where the postoffice was
he only trade mart, the only avenue
which your wants could De
supplied. How long could you en-
lure such conditions? Remember,
he mail order house pays no taxes
II your county, is not interested in
your social, civic or financial well-s
icing, cares nothing for your educa-
ional advantages, the security Of
our property rights, contributes not

:ourts OF justice, but are concerned *
oiely in draining every dollar from
our community and grudgingly re- S
urning the least possible value for a
What it demands cash in advance. 7
Every dollar sent to a mail order -

LIVE POINTERS

Members of the Honolulu Ad Club
assimilated some new and interest
ing ideas about advertising Wednes-
day, when, at the weekly luncheon, L..
A. Tilley. representative Of the Stude-
baker Corporation, spoke on the gen
eral TOPIC of Who pays for advertis
ing
From statistics handed me this
morning | find that SIS, 1000 worth Of
automobiles have been imported by
Hawaii since July l last said Mr.
Tilley. That looks like prosperity,
in spite of free sugar. | want to say
that for the volume Of business done,
there are fewer salesnien in Hawaii
than would be the case in any main,
land city of the same size. This means
that the advertising of the stand 'rd
makes is what is selling the cars. Ad-
vertising can't lie, for it must have
the real thing behind it,
When it came to the crucial point Of
Who pays for advertising, Mr.. Tilley
said that it was not the manufactur,
er, nor the jobber, nor the retailer,
nor the consumer.
"The man who doesn not advertise
pays for your advertising, said Mr..
Tilley, because he doesn't do suffi!
cient volume of business to compete
against you"
