THE MAH-ORDER HOUSE

We think the home merchant never
had more sincere or constant
champion than we are. We have al
WAYS and continuously advocated the
patronage of the local merchant eX-
clusively because we are quite certain
that the individual life and future
welfare of the community--not only
the town and the people who live IN
town-but the whole community, is
bound up in the fight of the home
merchant and the mail-order house
There are times, however, when we
feel that we are taking lot more In
terest in the issue than the merchants
themselves are. Our interests are
naturally bound up with theirs, but
after all it is the merchants themsel'
yes who have the most at stake and
If they chose to ignore the inroads
of the mail-order house, why should
we worry? One little word tells the
story of the successful methods OF the
mail-order ouses--advertising. Ever
lasting and continuous Advertising
expensive advertising. The sort OF adj
vertising that takes no count OF the
cost so long as the results are salts
factory: advertising that is difficult to
prepare and expensive to distribute.
Still, in view of these things, and
with the greatest advertising weapon
in the world at their command, there
are many merchants who will sit back
and say advertising don't do me any
good" or it dosn't pay in my bust
ness" or they'll come in and Duy
from me anyway when they want
anything | have" or +" the ads cost
too much money! can't afford it,
or a thousand and one otie: eXcus-
es familiar to the man who solicts
advertising for the local papers.
Don't pay? Man alive! Listen! II
advertising did not pay every mail~ol-
der house in the United States would
be in the receivers hands in six
months. Local merchants have the
means at hand--their local paper
covering their trade territory once a
week with their message to their Gus
! toners ut one-tenth-yes one-twent.-
eth-of the proportionate cost to
the mail-order people. Do they use
that weapon? In many cases the!
do not. They prefer to sit back and
say 1t don't pay, or they cannot at
ford 1t.
Listen again! The local ,newspap-
ers are Just exactly what the home
merchants make them--no more, no
\ less. 1t Is the home merchants that
must support them, and the home pa
pers are strength and a support
( to the merchants in a thousand diff
ferent ways, or they are not-just
\ in the degree that the papers receive
support of the merchants.
The newspaper is powerless or pow
orful-just as the merchants make
it. There is Just one answer--con-
