Buying at Home vs.. Mail Order House. Every dealer in Richmond and in the towns

of Wayne county has to compete with the big

mail order houses. The little retailer who has

his money invested in this community, pays his taxes in this county, buys his supplies here, is compelled -to see many persons buy goods of outside concerns, thereby taking the money out of the county and helping swell the fortunes of men j who do not know that Wayne county is a political unit of Indiana and care nothing for its

citizens and its welfare.

; The reason why mail order houses are able to tike thousands of dollars out of Wayne county

annually is because their customers erroneous

ly believe they are buying goods cheaper and bet

ter. It is true that big establishments of fer-a few -articles cheaper than local merchants can sell them,i but these, commodities are few and what the concerns lose on them is more than made . up on others. .. When, a ; customer patron

izes a mail order house, he does not know wheth

er he is really getting a bargain or is paying

more than he would at home.

-.Mail order houses cannot do business as cheap

as can small retail stores. Their expenses are greater and hence they must make greater margins on their goods. Sworn testimony before federal commissions and congressional committees has proved this. If it is true, then, that it costs more to run a big mail order house, its owners cannot afford to sell goods cheaper than can small dealers. Professor Neystrom of the University of Wisconsin holds that the average cost of doing business to the small retailer is between 15 and 18 per cent, while the cost to the big mail order house is from 27 to 30 per cent. Their bargains consequently are only "bait" to coax patronage in order to sell unfamiliar and cheaper goods at higher prices than the customer pays for them at home. Mail order houses seldom offer a standard brand cheaper than the local merchant. Often they sell substitutes of inferior quality at a higher price than the standard brand costs at home, and ;the customer does not detect the difference until the article has been put to the test of use. . Merchandise bought at home has the .character and guarantee of the merchant" back of it. He cannot afford to deceive his customers, for it would mean ruin. Goods bought at home are just as cheap as those purchased at a mail order house, and the buyer has the business integrity and stability of the local, merchant to guarantee their quality.

Red Cross Stamps. Fifty thousand Red Cross Seals have been received in Richmond. Their sale is being handled by the Domestic Science association, an or

ganization that has done much good for the city; and has taken the lead in many practical works of charity and social betterment. The consignment of stamps' ought to be sold 1efore Christmas, and the community ought buy them. Not one of them ought beTretnxSdT r - ''f' these stamps goes for a noble purpose. It will

Many heartache and jimny : s tear : would v be dried if all of us would devote a little time and expend a few cents to make the world brighter and a better place in which to live. , If your soul is responsive to the qui of charity, if the wells "of human sympathy have not been

exemplify a Christian spirit by, buying a supply

of Red Cross stamps and of affixing them to

the parcels you mail to friends and relatives at Christmas. l - .. t;"t.; . '.

As usually is the case when relief is to be extended and a noble work done, women are tak

ing the lead in this movement. They are giving

More men than jobs is the usual cry in a city when winter; has -set in ; but hi Richmond this' year just the opposite holds true, for there are more jobs , than men: Requests for men to work could not be met the other day at the Central Charity bureau. - This is a gratifying sign: Charity workers believe there will be less calls for help this winter than formerly. When men are at work, women and children have food and clothes. It is Jioped than the forecast of the charity workers will come true in fact.

She began- to write poetry for. the Madison and Cincinnati newspapers when a girl, but her best work was done after marriage to a newspaper man. in Madison in 1831.

Establishing a Fire Record. Everybody is trying to hang up a record these days. Fire Chief Miller also got into the game in November. He wanted to see Richmond establish a record of passing thirty days without a fire loss. And his wish was fulfilled. There was no fire loss. There's a reason for it, too. Fire Chief Miller always has been a booster of Fire Prevention Day and of the annual Clean-up Day in spring. When these days drew near, the fire chief sounded the tocsin call to clean rubbish, old paper, rags and other combustible stuff out of garrets, barns and cellars. The tangible reward for his interest is the enviable record which has been established in November. Why not make the record a monthly one? Of course, the fire risk is always with us, but the risk can be kept down to a minimum if citizens will observe precautions and strive jealously to reduce the fire hazard by removing combustibles as fast as they accumulate. Christmas is drawing near. This is a day that old fire fighters fear. Cotton and tinsel stuff placed below and on Christmas trees are invitations to fires. Even where the utmost caution is employed, a lighted candle will often set fire to a strand of tinsel and in a few minutes the tree is ablaze an$ the home is threatened. Keep tinsel and combustibles off the tree. The most acceptable Christmas gift the city of Richmond can give the fire chief and the members of the department is a month of December devoid of fire.
