VERY POOR JUDGMENT
OF MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

Very poor judgment" is the
way in which leading citizens
OF Clarksburg trade territory
characterize the action Of big
mail order house in sending six
carloads OF cheap catalogues
here a few days ago for dis
tribution. Through the cduca-
tional campaigns OF the Tele-
gram and other newspapers
and their own sad experiences
West ViTginians have been
taught the evils OF mail order
buying and the great benefits
derived from patronizing their
home merchants.
Clarksburg people arc fully
determined TO keep their money
at home and very few will be
foolish enough to forego the
advantages OF buying whore
they can see The goods and
make satisfactory selection and
boost the prosperity of their
home community, and send
their dollars to some distant
city never to return.
Spring Dress Up which will
be observed from March 80 to
April 8 will afford another op-
portunity for proving that
Clarksburg merchants can meet
and beat any bargains offered
by mall order houses with the
added advantage OF personal
inspection and prompt ex-
change Of any article not en-
tirely satisfactory In every re-
spect.
