Surprised?
So were lots of people when they
bumped into the "Stevensville 1dea,"
which is the name of the discovery
that home trading is cheaper than
mail trading.
Called Mail Order Bluff.

Mercantile company, just called the
mail order bluff. Rolling up it's sleeves
it went to the mat with the Sears
Roebuck outfit on even terms. And 1t
came out winner. In hard, unacceptable,
visible terms it has said to Stevens
vile people:
"We're not going to talk loyalty to
you. We're going to talk business.
You can save money by trading with
YOUR home merchants. Here's the
proof"
And the proof was there. Side by
side in the May Mercantile company's
windows were articles purchased from
mail order houses and similar articles
from the stores shelves. The stores
articles were cheaper.
Here is a sample of "the Stevens
Vile idea," taken from an ADVERTISE
ment printed in the Stevensville Reg

That is just one instance. The May
Mercantile company offered many
more. There is nc way of getting
around hard, cold facts. And the hard
cold facts in this case prove:
Home trading is cheaper than mail
trading.
That's the ~"Stevensville idea."
