, just as wanted, and we'll come di-
rectly to this: When you've paid
your money and got your goods
from the mail order house, that

If you need service and attention
and need it bad and need it quick,
the mail order house won't send an
expert all the way to your home
to help you. Your local dealer will.
IF you need credit for a whole
lot of machinery and supplies from
spring clear through the fall, the
mail order man won't carry you.
Your local dealer will. We don't
concede it for a minute; but sup
pose, for the sake Of argument, you
can save a few dollars on a mail
order purchase. Could this out
weigh all the rest of the service,
credit, accommodation that you get
locally?
Everything considered, you can
edo better" by trading locally than
by sending away to the mail order
house.

Calamity Eds brother attended

went with him. They saw every

everything that was to be heard,
smelled and tasted everything that
was to be smelled and. tasted

tired. His wife wanted to go thru
the fancy work exhibit again, but
he baked.
"Naw, my feet hurt, my eyes
burn, and my head aches. You go.
I'll set down here an wait f'r you,"
he said.
So he sat down on the steps Of
one of the buildings, leaned back
against the wall, took off his new
hat and held it in his lap, and was
soon fast asleep.
When his wife returned he was
still asleep, but on his hat was q

IF you are contemplating buy
ing a cider mill, don't overlook
our Hooking Valley mill. This mill
is equipped with hardwood cylinders
with serrated knives running
lengthwise, which breaks down the

yields under the press every parti-
Gle of juice in the fruit. This mill
is very easy cleaned, and the alb
sence of metal of any kind to rust
or impair the cider is an important
feature.

Volume 1.

Mail Order or Sales and Service?
Once in while you will meet up
with farmer who honestly holds
the opinion that he can edo better
by buying from the mail order
house than. from his local dealer.
You can't quarrel with a mans
honest opinion. But if he's open
minded and intelligent, you can
change his mind by presenting
facts.
Now, let's get this straight, men:
There's only one basis upon
which, the merchant, local or mail
order, can merit your trade, one
only-the greatest return for your
money. If you really can "do bet
ter" everything considered, by
sending away to the mail order
house, any local merchant, who
persists in expecting all of your
trade, lacks horse sense.
But If you can't do better" every
thing considered, marx. these two
words well, by trading locally, then
you're wrong to send your money
to the mail order house.
Well skip over the buying from
catalog instead of seeing and feel
ing and testing the real thing, the
long wait for goods to arrive in
stead of driving right home with
them, the damage in transit and
consequent worry and loss with
