Merchants Should Read
This Letter

To fbe Buy-at-Home Editor:
While YOU have already pretty thoroughly covered
the more important reasons why we people OF Ber-
kelley county should patronize our local merchants,
there are still many things that might be said upon
the subject.
There is one point however, that wish to en-
nhasize for the benefit of some Aof the Martinsburg
merchants, because believe that, as you have often
stated it is only by showing both sides of these mat
fers that the best results can be obtained
know personally of several cases wherein the
rivalry between merchants is so keen that they have
failed to uphold other local merchants against the
mail-order houses when that other local merchant
bappened to be competitor OF theirs
Not long ago, mentioned to certain LOCAL
merchant that one of his competitors had quoted me
a much higher price than had seen advertised for
The same thing in q mail-order catalog.
Do you think that the merchant spoke to was
taken?
No, indeed, he was not.
Instead he rather seemed pleased that | had
found that a mai-order house claimed to be under
selling his competitor.
But here was the result - after changing the
subject priced the same article in his store and
found it to be three per cent higher than in the store
of his competitor that he was so willing to hear run
down.
cy can never hope to win and hold the trade of their
community against the attractive advertising of the
mailorder houses unless they, themselves advertise
carefully and back up their advertisements and
above all, unless they pull together and help each
other.
The merchant who knocks another only encour
ages others to knock him and in this way, all the
local stores eventually come into bad repute.
Then the field is ripe for the mail-order houses
at the expense Of both the local stores and the buy
ing public because, of course in the long rum the
maiorder buyer is loser, too.
The point that wish to bring out is this If
every merchant agrees with people who tell them
that they have fault to find with this, that or the
other competitor, instead of trying to uphold the
reputation Of local merchants, whether competitors
not they will have the public believing that
all the local stores are not what they ought to be.
Maybe you will think that have given too much
space to this phase of the subject and not enough to
particular reasons why we should always buy-at-
home But have it is only because believe that

Expose Clubbing Plan

Here is another article that has been submitted by
Journal reader on the subject of mail-order buy
ing:
To the Buy-at-Home Editor:
In your page devoted to showing the evil of pat
ronizing mail-order houses against buying from
the stores in your own city, have noticed that you
have given particular attention to the farmers who
live out in the county No doubt you also intend to
give attention to the people who live right here in
Martinsburg, later on.
1t is Of these town folks that wish to write
There is less reason for person living in town
to send away for their goods than there is for those
who live in the county and there il good reason
for either of them doing it.
In town, the people pass the stores every day.
They do not have to send several miles go several
miles to get what they want saMa
And because it is easy for them to fill their needs,
there is less for their buying in larger guam
titles than is necessary to fill their immediate needs.
But you will find that in proportion, more Mar
tinsburgers are, going into all sorts of clubbing
schemes and premium and prize schemes than there
are people in the county buying by mail.
What to me seems to be the greatest joke of all
is the Il Plan wherein you are supposed to
get twice as much stuff for the same money as you ,
would If you bought from your home merchant or,
if you do not want twice as much stuff you get
very valuable premium instead Of the double portion
Of goods F#t#Wf 8@RAfs
To me it is beyond belief that SO many women
should show their lack Of judgment by being taken
in through such childish methods.
If they sell for half, why do they not list
their goods at one-haf and leave the premiums out
of it? ~
What can woman think of herself who goes
gadding about trying to get her friends and neigh
bors to turn traitor to her own town by buying
goods they do not want Just that the gadder can
get some kind of prize?
sincerely hope the day will come when women
will show themselves too far-sighted to be faxed by
that kind Of stuff. Maybe them men will look upon
them as capable of running a business and as hav-
ing business sense
You will do well to devote more space to this
thing than you have and by so doing you may make
women see the light as | have done.
