Dont Get Roped in by Catalog Houses
It isn't a pleneant sensation to send your good money away
for a car of Lumber, and then find the-stuff not as good as you ex
pected to get.
Yet scores and scores of farmers are getting "roped in" that
way every day.
The bait of "cheap prices" seems to wrap there business judg
ment, and away goes their money to buy stuff sight unseen.
You sober commhn sense should tell you that the cost of doing
business with-million of expensive catalogs, and thousands of clerks
make it imposrible for catalog hou?es to sell you as good lumber
for the same money as your local de'aler can, and that they resort
to lowering ihe grade in order to make the price appear cheaper.
When you can buy your Lumber and Building Material here as
cheap as qway from home, why should'tyou be loyal to your home
community and its interests, which are also yours? Think it over,
and, remember, we can meet or beat any catalog house price on
the same grades.
