MAIL ORDER HOUSE


 The most alluring temptation to the average housewife is the mail order catalogue, with it's beautiful iliustra- ,ions and well-timed descriptive mat ter, calculated to inspire the thrifty y;th desire to secure something ex- ceotional and beat the high cost of living.
 But did you ever come to reailze ,hat therein lies one of the surest me thods of loss?
 In the first place the purchaser has no euarantee save the magnanimity Of the concern with which he or she is oea :rg. Suppose the article lacks -o:ne little essential os to quality or deception? Of course you may write letters ard threaten to expose the 
 b,.r,e if it does not make good, but the waste of stamps is about all that will happen
 Therefore if the local merchant hap pens not to have just what you desire it i, always safest to have him order i,. You have the reputation of local lusiposs concern behind the purpchase and if there is error this house will pske |. good, or has the avenue through which to compel proper full fiiipaent.
 There is hardly an article on the market that may not be secured by purchase direct or on order through Juneau business houses, ranging aii the way from an ore reduction works to some especial piece of dress goods or i: novelty:
 If there are articles one Is accuS- toned to find, but which are not car ried in stock the merchant appreci- aees hxving his attention called to it, and if it is staple or salable he will add it to his regular stock; If spec iai order he will place it where the cost will not exceed and many times is below the figure of the mail order house, because he has the organization through which to operate and has the usual advantage of discounts. If you are regular customer he had rathe, not make cent in order to accommo- date you, because he recognizes the advantage of pleasing customers.
 Imagine purchasing some article finding it not what you wanted and shipping it back! How long do you suppose it would take to get the ex- change or your money back? Ash some of those who have tried it.
 Everyone appreciates the argu. ment in favor of buying at home, bu, this is not the point. It is good sounG business thrift to entrust your busi, ness to those whom you know, rathe, than to stranger. It is on the prin eipal of square dealing that business is builded, and the local merchant is the proper avenue through which to not only get what you want, but to ge, what you pay for.
 The itinerant agent stops off over night in city and his expenditures are simply his hotel bill and carriage charges. He is gone tomorrow and yoar money goes with him never to return. He neither builds sidewalks, water workse electric light plants or provides the many necessities of mo- dern life. The local business man is the ene who. bears the burden of this improvement ==d while one may think they are entitled to clip g penny of hero snd there as 2 matsar of thrift they ,at the same time escape their portion of indirect. tanation. souasshing

it was with the main idea Of making

about the time the test towers were

the towers to see over the snow
