Bogalusa enterprise. [volume] (Bogalusa, La.) 1914-1918, 1915-08-19

Edit + Enterprise;
The writer has read with interes,
editorials on buying at home which
have appeared in The Enterprise
from time to time. However. they
present but one side of the question
namely, the local merchants.
1t would seem, therefore, that an
explanation of the customers posi-
ton in the matter will help to locate
the trouble.
The local merchant, engaged as
he is in the business of distribution
in an economic necessity. While

who is getting so much abuse now.

cost of living" nevertheless we can.
not get along without him.
AS a rule he is a public spirited
citizen Of this community and. fol
mercenary reasons, if for no other
is concerned in the upbuildine of
his town.
However, it takes something more
than retail merchandising to build
up a town or city. A general store
located at a country crossroad can
take care of the country trade in a
radius of ten miles and the profits
therefore may furnish a living fot
a single family. Should a competi.

no sudden increase of business to
warrant both merchants prosper.
GUS trade.
In other words, to build up a town
or city we must have factories with
their employees. A merchant does
no more to build up an urban CON-
munity than does a farmer to build
up a rural one.
A merchants dollar goes no furth-
er in payment Of taxes than does
the farmers.
Why do the farmers (and others)
patronize mail order houses or buy
goods from merchants in other
towns?
The writer's personal experience
disclose two reasons:
First, because they desire articles
which local merchants do not carry
in stock and they refuse to accept
substitutes. Second because they
can buy more cheaply or secure a
superior article for the same price
elsewhere.
These are sound business princi-
piles employed by purchasing agents
for all industrial and other establish
ments.
The writer has, in the past year,
purchased several hundred dollars
worth of merchandise from out of
town firms because he was unable
to get what he wanted in Bogalusa
and could find no merchant who

Surely this does not brand him as
a fool and an easy mark because he

The writer has also purchased
other articles from mail order house
because he could buy them much
more cheaper than from local dealers

Along with the divine right of

difference instead ofhanding it over

PITCHERS SHOULD WORK MORE

Them, Says Harry Tuthill.

Pitchers don't work hard enough,
says Harry Tuthill, trainer Of the
Detroit baseball club and the Army
football team, They are the most
luxurious class in the world he
opines. He says they would do
much better work if forced to pitch
twice week and play three other
days in the outfeld. lie declares on
ly one days work a week makes
great pitchers get slow and heavy.
"Fhen they are not able to perform
1n their best manner when called on"
he continues. Some of the greater
performances in history are credited
TO pitchers who toiled at least every
other day and sometimes had to
pitch every day for long stretches.
When a manager gets hold of good
hitter it would do no harm to have
him work in right field, where there
is little to do Outfelding is not ar
duous work, as a rule. Sometimes
an outfelder will go through a whole
game without having touched the
ball with his hands.
