Prize Their Regulations.

The responsible high grade manu-
facturer and wholesaler will not under
any condition or circumstance sell
their goods to the catalogue retailer
at any price. Many instances, are
known where catalogue houses secured
by trickery quantity of staple goods
of standard make and advertised them
as specials at ridiculously' prices.
The manufacturers in order to protect
their regulations and interests. neceS-
sarily had orders sent in for the en-

There are numberless articles which

Can Successfully Cope.


1t is doubtful if there be local re-
taller in the country who could not
successfully cope with the mail order
and catalogue retailer would he but
try. This the local merchant may not
know, but nevertheless it is an abso-
lutte fact.
There is a retail firm in town in
Wisconsin which conspicuOusly displays
upon it's counters one of the cata-
logues of the largest Chicago mail or

pasted notice that it will furnish
any article advertised in the catalogue
as cheaply as the buyer can secure the
articles from Chicago. and it lives up
to the advertisement attached to the
