SHUN THE PEDDLER.

IT HE summer season. now here, brings with
it an economic ill that annually takes a
toll of thousands of i'll gained dollars.
1t is the itinerant peddler, the house to house
door bell ringer and those of his kind who travel
from place to place plying their trade and i'm
posing on the credulity of the unthinking, Of
fering bargains in this and that which most al
ways turn out to be inferior merchandise sold
at higher prices in short measure. 1t is well
to beware of these fellows and the plausible
stories that they tell to encourage the interest
and confidence of their prospects.
They of many varieties and with as
many kinds of merchandise to sell.
Inferior articles of many kinds peddled
about hither and yon during the summer months.
The automobile has been a great aid to this
kind of chicanery for after he has landed a few
gullibe prospects days journey will take him
far away and beyond the reach of the buyer who
discovers that he has been victimized.
What better insurance can there be than
buying from the home town merchant? IT Tor
any reason the article proves unsatisfactory he
is ready and willing to correct the trouble and
satisfy his customer. Not so with the peddler-
he is gone tomorrow or yet today if the chase
gets too hot. He is not seeking to satisfy his
customer-he is after the money alone The
home town merchant stakes his reputation and
his success on his record for fair and honest
dealing He may be found at his place of bust
ness day in and day out, year in and year out.
There is nothing elusive about him.
When folks want support and contributions
for this and that, they know where to find him
and he gives willingly and generously. Did any,
one ever hear of the tinerant merchant con-
tributing a single cent for the advancement Of
a local cause? There is one real way of insur-
ing good goods at reasonable prices, one way OF
getting good value for the dollar expended and
that is to buy of the reputable home merchant.
