Coantry Merchent Need Not Fear Parcels Pott When the parcels post U ouce put into active service It will be up to the merchants in the country towns to let the people know that they can and will sell them goods just as cheap as the department stores in the cities do, or can nfford to sell the same class of goods. As u rule niuny country mer chants carry just what thelroustomers send olf to the mail order houses for, but they fail to let the public know what they carry in stock and the prices at which it is bold. On tho other hnnrt the mail order houses keep eternally advertising their goods and prices and they get the orders, too. If country merchants would do us the city mer chant does they would have nothing to fear from the parcels post. Monroe Appeal.
