This paper has always protested
against the patronage extended to
mail order houses On the principle
that the home merchant is entitled to
home support We have aroused pro-
tests in some quarters more than once
by our advocacy of sticking TO the
home dealer. Now we claim that the
business man should also be consist
ent and show some appreciation fof
the stand of this paper. 1t does not
look we'll for business man to send
abroad for printing when that printing
can be done at home, by an establish
: ment that distributes about all the
! money taken in among home people.
, OF course the city print shop that
! sends out to country towns TO rob
the country printer is in the same
class with the petty larcenist, but rep
= sentatives of such shops should re-
: ceive no encouragement from the
; home business man. II such solicitors
were given the marble heart few
times they would dodge the town.
