 These form the wealth of home.
 Destroying Your Paradise. The retail mall order houses are try ing to destroy your home and your paradise by inducing you to buy your necessaries from them instead of your local merchants, to the injury of your home industries, home market and home town.
 There is so much difference in buying goods of a home place of business and ordering them by mail from a cata- iogue house from mere picture or de scription that 1 want to point out few facts that many may never have thought of.
 May Examine and Select. At the home store you make your wants known; the salesman shows you the desired article. helps select or sug- gest the article best suited to your needs.
 Thus you have an opportunity to sx- anime the quality. to see the style, to select the aze and color, as the case may bs: you cnn compare the different grades, and then if everything s sats- factory and In your judgment the price is right you will make the purchase

 Send your money away; you get nothing Gut the goods Spend your money at home. it will come back to you iL better towns. better stores and better social advantages
 Help Build Up Your Own Town. Is it not more to your interest to help build up your own little city or town than to contribute to the up- building of some faraway large city? Is it not fact that if your own town had 10000 population instead of 1000 1t would be much better for all residents?

 Would there not be much more em- ploymentf

 Would not the consumption of prod ucts be greatly increased and conse- qaently a farm within radius of ten miles be worth from $1O to $5O an acre more?
