KNOWWHATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
Quantity in the Local Stores
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Mail-Order House Goods on Faith Keep the Money of the Community at Home.
When the consumer buys merchandise he is interested in three things quality, quantity and price. When he goes into the store of his local" merchant he sees the goods that he is to pay for displayed before him; he can determine whether the quality is firstclass, and whether the quantity is all that is claimed. These two points settled, he should have a fair idea as to whether the price asked is a fair one or not. But how Is it when he attempts to buy of the big mail order houses of the cities? The only guide he has to the quality and quantity they are offering is what the catalogue says, and the catalogue is prepared with the one object in view of selling the goods. When the consumer buys of his local merchant and finds the goods he ha3 purchased were not a3 represented he can promptly take them back and receive his money. When he buys of the mail order house In the large cities he has practically no recourse but to take what he gets and look pleasant at the results. It is cheap goods and short weight that is making mail order house profits.. JThey can buy but little, if
armost tne exceptional oraer tnat ta is conducted on the theory that it Is possible to take an inferior job and foist it on a credulous people by means of a reduced price and the honest reputation established by the meritorious original which, it shamelessly caricatures. These methods have been crowned with success solely by reason of the fact that mail or
der houses put more skill, energy and money into advertising than do the manufacturers to whom the American people are directly indebted for the best vehicles on the face of the earth. "The mail order business is the quack doctor of commerce. It promises much and guarantees nothing. The directions are always on the inside, and you have to buy a non-returnable package before you can find out what they are.". A. G. Enderton. of Walter. Okla writing to the" Shawnee. Oklau, Union Signal, says: The maji or3er houses are the worst offenders of the pure food law that we have to deal with. They are the people who use short weight tin cans and every year the American public is cheated out of thousands of dollars by this alone. I see where some mail order houses offer paint at about what good oil is worth. Now, does anyone think that a mall order house can buy good paint stuff cheaper than anyone else? "Now suppose you find out what
crude petroleum, like what Is pumped out of oil wells cost. Very cheap, is
it not? That is the oil that is used
and what about the paint stuff? How about Spanish whitening, with just enough white lead to stick It together?
The question of prompt delivery Is
another question which mail order house patrons should consider. It 13
filled promptly. The reason for this

SOMETIMESSENSATIONAL Evangelist Wilson Has Reputation for Results.
The series of revival meetings at the local Christian church, which will con
tinue indefinitely, will begin Sunday morning at the church, the Rev. Alleu
Wilson being in charge of the services. Prof. Lint will sing special solos at each service. A large crowd at both the morning and evening service, is expected. Mr. Wilson is one of those evangelists who is pointed in bis at
tacks on evil, and his sermons are sometimes considered sensational. His methods have told for good, however, wherever he has been, as the number
of additions in his meetings ranging from L to SoO, testify.

any, cheaper than your local merchant
can. irst-quallty, standard merchan
dise is manufactured on a very nar-1
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi
dends on enormous capital if they can sell to the people an inferior quality
and short weight quantity of merchan
dise at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing, but you would not buy the same
goods of your local merchant that you bay of the mail order house at an equal price. Here is an Item clipped from the Parma, Mich., News which shows the nefarious system of the mail order concerns, and how they victimize their patrons : "A farmer purchased two sacks of binding twine of a large Chicago catalogue house, and upon its arrival this morning a ball was unrolled and measured with a ball of Plymouth twine sold by local dealers, when it was found that the Chicago article was just 306 feet short of that sold at home. There being ten balls In a sack, it will be seen that the farmer lost 6,130 feet, or over a mile of twine on two sacks by not buying at home. Then, too, the mail order house product was of an Inferior quality, being full of knots, and one farmer standing near during the measuring process remarked that it would never work on a binder. Now we wish to ask you, does it pay to trade at home? If there is anyone who is skeptical of this story, just call and we will show you." Parma, Mich., News. Bankrupt stock, merchandise that reliable jobbers would not handle because of its poor quality, the refuse of the factories made over into cheap merchandise. These are the things the patrons of the mail order houses are buying. Here is an extract from an article that appeared in the Sioux Falls, S. D. Leader: "The mail order house selling vehicles by the catalogue route, is more than a pirate, it is a turkey-buzzard. It takes the freaks and -failures that have died for want of real merit, and tries 'to stifle legitimate business by selling the embalmed remains at a reuuced price. 'Tie whole nefarious mail order sys-1 tern, in so far as it relates to vehicles, j
delay is that thy do not carry the goods in stock, and must purchase them, after your order Is received. In Chicago, for example, no mail order house will sell to any person Iivinf within the city limits, and the reason for this Is that these concerns pur chase a large aniount of the mercban dise they are selling from the retail stores of the city, the proprietors of which refuse to sell them the goods except upon the ' condition that they
are not to sell to the people of the
city.
Here Is the wail of a mail order Tlc-
tim taken from ? the columns of the Crookston, Minn., Journal, which ex
plains this point:
"Sir: I want to register my kick
right here on catalogue houses and
meir misleading metnoas. I am frank to acknowledge that I have been
duped to perfection. The only differ
ence between me and the other Tic
tims being that I am a little deeper
in and that I am willing to acknowl edge the corn.
"To begin with, last fall I with her
who Is now my wife, decided to pur
chase some stuff to furnish our new home. Accordingly we ordered all our furnishings of a catalogue house
iwo weeks prior to our marriage, which we thought would be plenty of
time to get the goods around. But by the Infernal planets let me tell you right here that all the correspondence
diplomacy, appealing and pleading has succeeded In landing only a kitchen
table and later a mirror from Pitts
burg. It y-v i . .

box, sleeping on the floor and borrow
ing a few necessary utensils of friends
and. neighbors. No more catalogue
goods for us, ve hope to get enough
more goods by April 1 to celebrate
all fool's day in a fitting manner."

goods at honest prices of your honest
local merchant. See what you are
buying. Get what you are paying for
