At the Ugland grocery store, the
locks on both the front and the rear
door were broken. The safe was un-

worked hurriedly and did not stop to
try the lock. The safe was badly

Nothing else in the building was dis

DANGER TO OUR MER.
CHANTS

OUR local merchants might wisely
give some considerat on to the recon
mendation of the National Commiss
ion of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, which recently
passed resolution strongly favorine
the establishing Of a c. O. D. postage
permit plan. Under the plan, direct
by mail advertisers may send out re
turn ENVELOPES and cards to pros
poets with permit notice printed in
place of a stamp. The return matter
can then be mailed and the permit
holder pay the postage upon delivery
Merchants in towns such as ours art
likely to be lured into dangerous
trap if they permit such a plan to e.
through without protest. They may
see only that they may use the
scheme themselves, but direct by man
advertising is as limited as it is mel
fective in the smaller communities
On the other hand, such a plan would
mean the most sweeping invasion OF
the country by mail order houses that
ever has been known. The mail orde.
men would save hundreds of thous
ands of dollars, which could then be
put into intensive campaigns to take
trade and money from the home town
The merchants know they can serve
our people quite as well and quite
as economically as any mail order
house in the world, and that the buy.
er can actually see the articles being
bought and get prompt delivery, bur
The catalogue offers of the mail orde
specialists are painted in alluring col,
ors, and when they can be put out
without the danger of waste for lost
stamps affixed, local trade will dwin.
die in every community.
This whole matter will rest in the
hands of the new Postmaster Gener-
al, and if the merchants are wise thew
will lose no time in calling his atten.
ton to the gravity of such a ruling So
far as local trade is concerned. -.
Merchants in several towns undoubt
eddy will take this matter, up, and II
would not hurt to add our protest t,
the others The merchants can stand
open competition from the mail or.
der men, but they should not be sub.
iectcd to unfair advantage. The mon.
ey spent at home circulates and re-
turns to the spender. When it goes
out of town it goes into the nav Of
he giant corporations that have lit.
tie use for small communities except
shat they can get out of them.
