White Shoes For Baby White canvass is not the most satisfactory footwear for a baby that has to be handled, on account of the polish rubbing off on your clothes.

BARGAINS DON’T FOOL FARMERS Country Consumer Quick to See Real Value PATRONIZE HOME TRADE Guaranteed Goods to Be Found in All Up to Date Local Stores* —Education is Greatest Factor In the Expansion of Strong Business Interests—The Age of Advertising

(Copyrighted. 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.J Kites rise agnlnst, not with, the wind. The method of the hustling mall order bouse la to plan with audacity and execute with vigor. It sketches out possibilities and then treats them as probabilities. Education is the great factor In the expansion of local business interests. Even the catalogue plays its part, neg ntlvely perhaps, but none the less surely. One or two demonstrations are enough. Experience advertises from the housetops, it teaches the differ ence between false and true values and economies and judgment. And the farmer is an apt scholar. Once stung, the re[«ated appearance of the catalogue Is bound to cause revolt not only in the philosophy of tbe victim, but In bls entire social system. Farmer Recognizes Values. Tbe farmer is not a poor appraiser of genuine values; but, being honest himself, be can be fooled once. After one good hunch he becomes wary of catalogue artistry and spends his cash boosting home trad° and supporting home merchants who do* not sell their wares “sight unseen" ami never bawl their (aitrons any green goods disguised as bargains. Trading at home Is more than a matter of loyalty to home Interests, it is a matter of Individual self Interest. Every one is bound to protit by the community’s success. Clientele Not Particular. The mail order houses have their clientele or they couldn’t flourish ns they do. but it is not among particular people. The trademark of the genuine belongs to prosperity, self Interest and common sense. It is to be acquired only by the buyer of guaranteed goods, and it Is a fact that guaranteed goods distinctive enough to gratify the most fastidious tastes are to be found In all up to date stores in all provincial communities from Nome to Panama It follows tbe rule of demand and supply among intelligent people wherever progress and prosperity train together. The catalogue houses are not passing up any new advantage for the furthering of their own Interests. It’s their business to keep awake. Just now they are chortling with glee over tbe parcel post business us It affects their expensive output of printed matter.

instance, they can race advantage ot zone rates and save a large per cent of the former expense of mailing direct from the home plant, catalogues containing order slips being rated as parcel post matter Familiarity Breeds Distrust. At first blush this looks like a tremendous advantage and a howling boost. But there is still some sense left In the ancient saw übout familiarity breeding contempt It also breeds distrust, and too much catalogue Is apt to pall on even the simplest consumer in remotest Arcadia. At one time any sort of mail matter was welcomed by the farmer as a dispeller of monotony, but the bld ord-r has changed. and a certain law of ti e Latins beginning "Tempom nmtantiir" Is coming In vogue again with a vengeance wlu-n It pertains to the improve* meat of farm conditions and the evolution of the farmer. Catalogues Get Scissors. The farmer nowadays subscribe* for reliable farm journals and buys good books. His main source of reading la not confined, as it once was. to the almanac and mall order literature. The big multicolored catalogues make nice entertainment for the kids with scissors, but there their utility will eventually end. However, this is un age of advertis ing. and almost every article manufactured is brought to tire notice of tbe public through the use of printer's ink. Standard goods un l usually advertised in standard magazines and publications. while the inferior manufacture Is exploited tn glaring headlines and large figures, with magnified Illustrations that make tlx* articles appear uh-re substantial and durable than tbe pictures of standard made goods. The cheap, shoddy goods uro offered to the public through cheap, shoddy literature, nnd for tin* reason that the consuming public has little knowledge of values or quality the low grade nr th'les find a market with those wb > are cheap buyers. Buy cheap goods and you always pay big prices. Degrees of Friendship. "Mother, that Indy who just passed spoke to you and you didn't answer her." “Well, she is one of my enemies."
