THE HOME TOWN MERCHANT.

IT Hi appeal OF the merchant to the citizen to
i patronze home town stores is logical Money
spent with outsiders is lost to home channels.
Money spent in the home store helps to light and
pave your Streets educate your children. 1t is law.
You can deny it but you cannot escape it.
But, this appeal to local pride and patriotism
alone will not hold the citizens in line. However great
the values of the merchant to the community he
must meet the values of the mailorder houses. he
must go. Unless he give better value nothing
save him. 1t is the law of evolution.
In thirty years of experience with mail order
and home town buying the writer has become con.
vinced that the home town merchant does give better
value for the money Where the mailorder house gets
its advantage is in its systematic and scientific
advertising. The home town merchant has not YET
learned that eye-deceiving trick of pricing the
onedolar stuff at ooc.. the 6ve-dollar stuff at $49e
and the ten-dollar stuff at 5000 That cheap trick
alone ought to discredit the mailorder bunch witt
thinking persons. Then. the maorder house pushes
a few leaders at great loss to itself to win thu
confidence Of the customer. and makes up this los
on leaders by giving the customer shoddy stuff ane
poor substitutes for the rest of his BILL
