town. literally go to grass be-
cause they didn't know any better
than to purchase needed goods
from these out-of-town Commands
didn't know that by so doing
they were gnawing away at the
heart of their very ownselves.
The very blindness Of the resi-
dents of small towns is what has
brought about the phenomenal
growth of these heartless mail
order houses. The people have
thought that they were saving a
few pennies by doing their buy
ing out of town. while, in reality,
they were penny-wise and pound
foolish ~ pound foolish because
their very existence was being
jeopardized by such practices.
It's a damnable shame, and the
crime MUST stop!
Let's go back a bit and see what
the influence of the typical Home
Merchant was in fostering the
growth of his community, and
then let us ask ourselves the ques-
ton, rs he not entitled TO our
loyal support, our earnest coop

MAIL ORDER HOUSES

They Feast on a Community and
Give Nothing i'm Return.

What is a nation. anyway! Is
not a nation just a composite Of
small communities, the strength

than its component parts? How
can a nation hope or expect TO

There is absolutely no justiiica-

tremendous business because they
have misled the people, garbled

with an optimistic turn of mind
that impels him to take chances.
He finds a crossroads corner and
pitches his tent, so to speak.
lie builds a store, unpretentious
at first, of course, but he puts in
stock such necessities and luXur-
les as he knows the hoped-for
newcomers will need.
He brings with him not only
an optimistic nature and a stock
of goods, but generally some little
capital and good credit in the dis
tant cities. He's a likeable soul,
and, one by one, he magnetizes
new residents TO the little COM
munity that he has high hopes Of
seeing grow into a thriving town
of God-fearing, man-loving people.
As the town grows, his popular
ity and value to the town also
grows. Not only does he dispense
only the best and latest in needed
merchandise, but he is the gener-
al all-round counsellor of the viii
lage. His advise is sought on
weighty subjects, from what to
do for sick babies" to "how to
raise funds TO finance the build
ing of new barns" He is the god
of the community, as it were. He
is an all-in-one to all men. Pro-
gressive, alert, thinking, kindly,
human, peptimistic and full of
faith in the downright goodness
and honesty of his neighbors-he
represents the last word in desir-
able citizenship. He not only is
deserving of all the trade of the
little community, for whose
growth he has been primarily re-
sponsible, but he should be the
subject of the citizens everlast-
ing thanks for his fore-sighted-
ness in making their delightful
little town possible. Though the
town grows, he, in no wise, be
comes less human and helpful.
He caters to, not only the immed-
late townsfolks, but the farmers
and their families for miles round.
If ever man was entitled to the
fruits of his labor in the shape
of continuous patronage and I'M
adulterated business loyalty, this
crossroads merchant is he.
The progress of this happy COM
munistic family is serenity unin-
