The apparent unwillingness Of the
large mailorder houses to accent loss
on the immense stores Of merchandise
carried by them has brought about
tremendous decrease in their sales dur
ing the last few months. ~"*
Reports show monthly losses in sales
running from $5,000,00O to $15.000.OOO.
The decrease amounts to more than SO
per cent of the usual values Of bust
ness. For example: One of the largest
mail order houses had total sales in Feb
ruary 1921 Of about .$14 100000 as COM
pared with $28,00O,000 in February
1920. Another had sales in February
1921 of approximately $5,5O0,000 as
compared with over $1l.OOO.OOO during
February, 1920. This condition is gen.
eral.
It appears that the mail"order houses
are endeavoring to sell merchandise
based upon prices quoted in catalogues
printed over a year ago. The prices
quoted and being charged are in some
instances from 25 to so per cent higher
than those quoted and charged in COM
munity retail stores. The time has come
when people should see the advantages
Of supporting lQme business: enterprises,
not only for the interest Of the individ-
ual, but for the good Of the community
ct large. 49,.
The welfare of the community is
largely dependent upon the success OF
its merchants and the prosperity of it's
population. It is we'll known fact
that mail-order houses pay no taxes ex-
cept in cities where they have their
headquarters, or own property. They
do little or nothing toward assisting
numerous movements promulgated from
time to time for community betterment;
they build no roads; they contribute
nothing to schools, libraries; churches
or any other activity which makes our
community worth living in.
The volume of business lost by mail
order houses indicates that the conf
dence of the public may be shifting to
the retail merchant where it belongs.
The home retail merchant has. as a rule,
been fair; has labored faithfully to
serve efficiently and has worked for on
~ a fair margin of profit. The public
should show it's appreciation of the fact
that town merchants are supplying
goods at fair and honest prices, while
mail-order houses are evidently main
tanning any prices.
The very nature Of the mail-order
business makes the present situation
inevitable. Home merchants. by close
contact with the manufacturer and Job
Der, can give the public square deal,
even on fluctuating and declining
market.
There should be closer spirit of CO.
operation between the home merchant
and the people Of the community. Never
again should the public or our mer-
chants permit mail-order houses to draw
the resources from the community as it
did in pre.war days.
Money spent with mail-order houses
is gone out of this community. Buy at
home. Make your home town a 100
per cent home town organization and
help to bring greater prosperity to
everybody in your home town.

Accord Reached by Allies.
Oppeln-Gensral Lerond, command
ing French forces in Upper Silesia, de-
clared that the Allies had finally
reached accord on plan which is ex-
pected to be put into execution for
progressive withdrawal Of Poles and

general did not detail this program,
he stated the Poles would be ordered
to evacuate a certain territory each
day through a series of ultimatums, q
policy which would likewise be used
with the Germans.

Stop and think!
The country is beginning to emerge
from one of the severest case of bust
ness depression it has experienced in
years-a period Of factories running On

construction work at a stanisSill;
