Ask the Hupmobile Dealer
□Ask him why he continues to sell the
Hupmobile year after year.
I fe will tell you: “Because the Hupmo
bile grows better year after year.”
He is not afraid to meet any man to whom he
has sold a Hupmobile.
His customers last year, are his customers this
year.
And better than that—they are his friends, as
well as his customers.
They go out of their way to help him make Hup
mobile sales.
From twenty-five to fi;ty per cent of his new
buyers, come, he will tell you, from the recom
mendations of old friends.
He does not hesitate to refer to them—they do
not hesitate to endorse the Hupmobile.
Do you know of another car of which this is so
widely, so enthusiastically, true?
Where the average man buys one car, the Hup
mobile dealer buys scores, or even hundreds.
He pays his money for these cars, the same as
you pay for yours.
He had to be sold on the TIuprnobile before he
would make this investment, the same as you
have to be sold.
The Hupmobile dealer, naturally, is prejudiced
in favor of the Hupmobile.
But isn’t that very prejudice—that extreme
enthusiasm- the strongest endorsement you
could ask?
If he has held the friendship of his Hupmobile
owners through all these years, he will hold
your friendship, too.
\\ hat is trueof Hupmobile dealers generally is true
of us. Let us show you the 1915 Hupmobile.

KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR
OWN COMMUNITY.
I have endeavored to arouse in your
minds a feeling of dismay at the
thought of what you have been doing in
sending your money to the mail order
houses instead of spending your dol
lars at home and thereby helping your
local communities to prosper.
In unrestricted terms I have char
acterized the folly of helping big cor
porations to profit at the expense of
your local merchants. I have tried to
show you the criminality, against your
self, your townspeople and your de
scendants. of scorning the prosperity
of your own communities and deliber
ately working against the interests of
your own towns by sending your funds
to the city.
I have depicted the foolishness of
buying from mail order houses when
you can obtain just as good or better
merchandise from your own local mer
chants and I have exposed the meth
ods in vogue in at least one mail order
concern.
These articles have been addressed
to those of you who live in the smaller
communities and in the country—
where you are compelled to rely on
individual honesty among yourselves
rather than on the pledges ot men
who do business with brass bands
and pages of newspaper advertising.
Experience is the greatest and the
best teacher and my experience has
taught me that it is preferable to
transact business with a man person
ally known, rather than with an un
definable concern without identity ex
cept as a corporation, in the big cities
we are compelled to deal wholly with
the latter, while in the smaller cities
and towns you can meet the former
face to face and do your business dl
rpr»t
In buying and selling there is no
dealer or merchant that does not know
that the crooked deals come home to
roost—therefore it is the better part
of discretion, as well as simple hon
esty, to give full value to a customer.
The dealer in the small town cannot
hide behind a corporate name or con
ceal himself in a private office from
the customer who has been fooled.
He must face the music m case he
transgresses, and he realizes that he
must satisfy his customers or he will
lose them.
Honesty is bred in small commu
nities and is fostered, while in large
cities it is only too often lost sight of
because of the immunity that comes
with not meeting the customer in per
son. Clerks and other employees
must bear the burden of reproacn and
censure while the “man higher up"
never hears of such things. Excuses
are all readymade and framed to
meet all contingencies by the heads
of mail order houses and in case of a
complaint from a customer the cor
respondent as a rule merely indicates
a certain form letter.
But in your own home town your
merchant meets you face to face and
he is always on the job. He can al
ways be found at his place of business
and in case of a complaint he is right
there to see that you are satisfied
before you leave his store. He wants
to please you and he will try, sincere
ly, to please you. He wants to hold
your custom.
Now isn’t this a much better way to
deal than to send your money away
to the city? Isn't it much better to
deal with a man in your own commu

nity, anil pay him your money, ratner
than to send it away to the big mail
order house in the city, where it is
treated exactly like so many thousands
of other orders? Isn’t it better to
deal at home and keep the cash in cir
culation in your own community, than
to send the dollars away where you
or your neighbors will never see them
again?
Dollars will breed dollars. Money
in your community will create pros
perity for yourself and your friends.
Keep the cash at home and business
will be better all round.
Some of you will say: "There are
so many things that I must send away
for.”
In such a case, why not let your own
dealer send for them for you? He is
in business. He can get wholesale
prices where you must pay retail. That
is why he is in business. He must
make a profit in order to pay his rent
and support his family. He must make
a profit in order to be able to carry
the things you require on his shelves
and counters.
If you need something that he does
not carry in stock, just ask him to
send to the city for it. He will do so
gladly. He will obtain a discount off
the retail price and this will afford
him a small profit for his labor. You
pay to him the same price that you
would pay to the city merchant or
manufacturer.
Why not let him do this for you?
He is responsible. He will do the
business in a satisfactory manner and
probably give better service and more
satisfactory treatment—-probably a
better value for you.
Live and let live is the motto that
makes the world go around smoothly
and peacefully in so far as we mortals
are concerned. Let your local mer
chant live, by giving him the oppor
tunity to make a dollar now and then,
and you will be much better pleased
with yourself as well as much more
satisfied with some of your purenasea.
Your local merchant is loyal—ha
and your local newspaper Both oc
cupy places that you cannot fill by
any service through a mail order
house.
Think how you will miss them if
you lose them. Of course they are
so patient and so apparent that you
forget about them. Y*ou accept them
as a matter of course, but, my good
ness, how you will miss them if you
find that you must do without them.
But it is such advantages as these
that we are, all of us, inclined to fail
to appreciate without having our at
tention called especially to them.
But we must remember, the mail
order houses have the merchants in
the small towns by the throat. They
are waging a fierce battle for the su
premacy. If the mail order houses
win out it will mean the elimination
of practically all of the country deal
ers and small town merchants.
And when this happens you will find
conditions much different. You will
then, when it is too late, discover the
great value to you and the inestimable
convenience of having a merchant near
by who can supply your wants without
delay.
But the mail order house sweeps
on and on. It is grabbing up the dol
lars with increasing voracity. It is
grinding the country merchant dowD
and down until he can hardly make a
vigorous struggle for existence.
I believe that these conditions can
be helped, even If not wholly removed
and done away with.
I believe that there is a remedy for
these conditions—a remedy that can
be applied in every community, with
success.
It would mean a fight—a struggle
that would cost some time and some
work, but it would bring back the
dollars to the country store.
That it would be a success I am
confident. That it would win the bat
tle for the country merchants, against
the mail order houses, I feel sure.
The fact is, right now, that the
big city is growing bigger and biggex
year by year, while the small town
Is growing less prosperous.
It's the work of the mail order con
cerns. They are milking the dollars
away from home all the time.
Stop it—that's the only way. Keep
your money at home.
That's the only remedy.
Think it over.
Fortune.
Ill fortune never crushed, that man
whom good fortune deceived not. I
therefore have counseled my friends
never to trust to her fairer side,
though she seemed to make peace
with them; but to place a’l things
she gave them so as she might ask
them again without their trouble:
she might take them from them, not
pull them: to keep always a distance
between her aad themselves. He
knows not his own strength that hath
not met adversity. Heaven prepares
good men with crosses; but no ill can
happen to a good man. Contraries
are not mixed. Yet that which hap
pens to any man may to every man.
But it is in his reason what he ac
counts it and will make it.—Ben
Jonson.

JOURNEY-INGS OF HOUSE FLY
Household Paata, It Is Found, Seldom
Travel Rar From the Breeding
Ground.
Dr. J. T. Nash, an English physi
cian. who 1mm devoted much attention
to the spread of disease by flies, finds
that the soamon house fly does not
readily leave a house in which it finds
protection, warmth and food. Such
houses situated near places where
flies breed—where garbage is depos
ited, or refuse from stables is kept un
duly long—suffer from a plague of
flies not found in houses in the next
street farther away.
These nearer houses effect a consid
erable arrdat'ment of the spread of
flies. In Aese infested houses, al
though fly-jdper may kill hundreds.
Just as flies are found 24 hours
later if the windows are left epen
and the w^aCher is warm.
When flise are numerous, they de
crease in numbers in different houses,
in inverse 'VwtTo to the distance from
the breeding grounds. Flies fly far
ther when places of arrestment, in the
shape of ftovaee, are few or far off.
Where houses are few, more flies
will be found than where houses are
many. Whfere houses are numerous,
few flies ^11 travel more than a
quarter of a' mile.

Fuel Value of Wood and Coal.
The fuel value of two pounds of
wood is roughly equivalent to that of
one pound of coal. This Is given as
the result of certain calculations now
being made In the forest sen-ice lab
oratory, which show also about how
many cords of certain kinds of wood
are required to obtain an amount of
heat equal »b that In a ton of coal.
Certain kinds of wood, such as hick
ory. oak, beech, birch, hard maple,
ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine, and
cherry, have fairly high heat values
and only one cord of seasoned wood
of these species is required to equal
one ton of geod coal.
