HOME MERCHANTS AND NAH.
ORDER HOUSES

HE following story is taken from
j the Chehalis, WASH, Advocate,
and is applicable to almost every
town:
Every now and then there comes
TO the Office OF every country news
paper a merchant of the town in which
the paper is published. the merchant
bearing some article, sometimes short
but more often long, setting forth ar
suments in favor of patronizing the
home merchants rather than mail or
der houses. The quest Of the home
merchant for arguments in his favor
Is legitimate one and, so far as
resources permit, IL is the Office Of
the home newspaper to print such ar
ticlcs. But does the merchant stop
70 think that every time paper prints
an article such as that that 1t costs
the newspaper something?
Very often. much more often than
should be, the merchant who brings
such articles to the newspaper Office
is one of those who, when approached
by the advertising man. says mo,
nothing this time." The merchant
does not want to advertise because
cuisines is bad" or he is SO we'll
known that he does not have TO ad-
vertise." or one of the hundred other
reasons that the Ad man gets on his
round Of the business houses. The
merchant does not stop 10 think that
the home newspaper gives its sup
port without remuneration to every
move that is for the better interests
OF the city. county and state, that it
gives columns of space to every cele-
bration that Is held, that il writes
up the home talent play before hand.
and does hundred and one other
things of public nature, all OF which
costs the paper money.
/ The fact OF the matter is that some
merchants do not realize the value OF
advertising when II applies particular
ly to their own stores. but DO realize
that the mail order houses. by ad-
vertising. are cutting into the busi-
ness OF the home town merchants.
In their desire to head OF. they do
not consider that by advertising their
own business in a straight forward
manner through their home papers
they can counteract the advertising
done by the mail order houses. and
the only way they see to keep busi-
ness at home is to play upon the
charity OF the home paper for free
space to knock the mail order houses.
