COMMUNITY COOPERATION


Not long ago we received a letter
froil one of our subscribers saving
that If he wished to buy a certain
commodity (Which by the way was
handled by one of his home town
dealers) he would send to mail or
der house for it. This, of course is
his privilege. But supposing a ma
jority of his neighbors in that com
munity were to do the same thing
continually Would it not mean dis
enlargement to all local storekeepers
In that community? Would it not
mean slow starvation to all merch-
ants already located there and stand
as an effectual barrier against the
business advancement and enterprise
of the neighborhood?
We do not mean to express or i'm
ply that there should be no trading
done with mail order houses. for 1t
happens frequently that such houses
offer certain lines of goods not OBJ
tainable from local stores. But we
| believe that the home town store
keeper should be given all the trade
encouragement possible where he is
doing the best he can to deserve it,
| Even though his prices on some lines
may be a trifle higher, due to the fact
that his volume of trade will not per-

velopment of the community in
which you are or should be inter

Bear in mind that the storekeeper,
whether he keeps a little store or a
big one, is giver of service. He
invests his money and his time in
supplying you and your neighbors
with the commodities that you might
otherwise be at considerable incon-
venience to obtain. AS a rule the
storekeeper in your community is
what your community makes him. II
you withhold your trade from him,
he is held back in his efforts to keep
fresh and varied line for you to Sc
lect from. He is entitled to reason
able profit on what he sells you just
the same as you are entitled to pro-
fit on whatever you produce for sale
The storekeeper is not drone in the
