We drifted down to the depot
the early part Of the week to get
an eye full" of the business that
the mail order houses were doing
in Mobridge. 1t was amazing to
to see the amount of mail ordered
goods coming in here. We were
incline | to believe that the prices
being quoted by the local merch
ants through the different lines Of
advertising would have reduced
the out side business to a small
figur. Such did not appear to be
hi. case
Now. We nave efort us the lat
est mail order grocery catalogue
from Chicago. On page four sug-
ar is quoted below the Chicago
wholesale market. The quotation
is wrong, as our information shows
that they are Is cents per hundred
weight above. Knowing that one
quotation to be wrong we naturally
were skeptical about the balance
and as matter of satisfying our
self we called up one of the local
merchants and asked the price of
sugar per hundred pounds. He
said So 90 for beet and So 10 for
cane The mail order catalogue
states their price rs 81 4s. the
freight on that ciass of goods from
Chicago is 67 cents making the
total cost, not counting drayage,
money order, stationary and stamp,
So. l5 against the local merchants
