The mint is busily engaged in max

half dollars. "In God We Trust" will
appear on the new silver dimes which
will probably be in circulation the
last Of this month or early in next.
1t is understood that the coinage will
continue only for limited time, prob
ably less than year. The question
is not so much how many coins the
Government makes as how many the
different individuals can secure.

DESTROYING Your Paradise

Destroying Your Paradise
The retail mail order houses are
trying to destroy your home and
your paradise by inducing you to buy
your necessaries from them instead
of your local merchants, to the in
jury of your home industries, home
market and home town.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1916-09-06

trying to destroy your home and
your paradise by inducing you to buy
your necessaries from them instead
of your local merchants, to the in
Jury of your home industries, home
market and home town.
There is so much difference in buy
ing goods of home place of BUSH
ness and ordering them by mail from
a catalogue house from a mere pic
ture or description that | want to
point out a few facts that many new
err 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 suggest the article best suited to
your needs.
/ Thus you have an opportunity to
examine 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 every
thing is satisfactory 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 a
black instead of blue, then the next
day or the week after you go to your
dealer and explain, and he will glad
ly exchange the item or refund the
money.
And another matter worthy of
serious thought is this: Surprising
the mail order houses could sell goods
cheaper and everybody would order
his 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.
Buy Big Things at Home
Remember store cannot be kept
up with small purchases if the local
money is sent away for the big
things.
This method will result only in
running your home trade and in help
ing to build an enormous coropdra-
ton in some faraway city.
The failure to patronize home mer-
chants decreases the value Of farms,
and town property becomes less val
liable, as you well Know that IL a
town goes back both local and sur-
rounding values decrease.
