OF IL, at least, IN pTOpOrUOn TO the vOI-
ume of the business which he does. He
does not have to pay interest to the
banks on money borrowed to help him
finance his business. The mail order
man figures that about One-half of the
amount he receives on any order goes
to the wholesaler or manufacturer in
payment for the goods ordered. OF
the remainder a part goes for postage,
printing, maintenance of Office and
plant, insurance, etc. What is left,
which is by no means an insignificant
part of every dollar received, goes into
dividends to stockholders in the mail
done without any capital other than
that which may be required to pay Of
fee expenses.
Suppose, for minute, that you did
business with the local merchants on
the same plan. Suppose that they did
not carry any goods in stock, that
when you wanted to buy something
you should go to one Of your home
merchants, look in his catalogue and
pick out an article that seemed to be
similar to the one that you wanted,
hand over the price as shown by, the
catalogue and tell him to order it for
YOU The merchant would take your
money and you would wait for your
goods until they arrived from a dis
tant city.
Not So Anxious.
But the people who make up any
community are not nearly as anxious
to furnish capital to the home mer-
chant-the man who helps make the
town-as they are to the mail order
man in the far distant city, who does
nothing and cares nothing for the peO-
pie who furnish him the money en-
which to do business. They insist that
the home merchant shall carry large
stock of goods from which they can
select what they WISH when they think
it is to their interest to buy from him.
They insist that he shall stand back of
the goods he sells and make good any
defect that may appear in them. They
insist that he shall sell them what they
WISH ana walt LOT the money u1JlI tnSV
get ready to pay it. They insist that
he shall sell goods at the same prices
or lower prices than the mail order
houses charge for goods Of poorer quail
ity. And finally, they insist that the
home merchant shall furnish the large
amount of capital that is required to
conduct a business on this plan.
The mail order buyer may say that
he has the right to spend his money
anywhere he pleases and he has, legal
ly. But he probably has never stopped
to reflect on the fact that he is supply
ing the capital for the operation Of
concern which is in direct competition
with enterprises in which he is directly
interested, for every man, woman and
child in town is directly interested ia
the success OF the business enterprises
in that town. If these business enter
prises are not prosperous, the town
cannot be prosperous. To supply CAPT
tai to your competitor is not very good
business.

fear of being apprehended, they on

$65 in cash. From the other two,

left the building through the rear door.
On Sunday night, about 9 o'clock,
while speaking was in progress at Hall s

cash had been removed from the mar
