TWO BI QUESTIONS I I

( Copyrlghled , 1900 , by Attrell C. Cll1rlt. )
When the thrIfty person or hIs wlfo
sits 1I0wn for the first Umc-or any
tlmo-wlth the mall order catalogue
and Its tom1)tatlons , there are two ,
and only two , points to be talten Into
consll1erallon ,
Ono of these Is moral obligation ,
anll the chanccs are that that will be
I1lsmlssell as scntlmental nonsenso.
The other Is-Will It pny1 and to

prIces quoted In black.facel1 figures In

black.Caced figures sometimes 110.
The duty a man owes to his own
community and hIs obligation to trade
at homo are so of ton reiterated In the
country press that , posalbly like some
of the preachIng , It has a tendency
to hard n the hearts of the slnnors.

"Will It pay ? " Is a good test to apply

The fire of publicity Is the medium the mall.order houses are using to
destroy this community. It Is up to you , Mr. Merchant , to fight the devil
with fire. By the aid of the local press you can hold him over the scorching
flames , and put a stop to his devastating competition 60 far as this com.
munlty Is concerned. Will you not assist In the good fight ?
I slvon 1'ou , Mr. Farmer ? A market for
, your produce. What has made 25 to
50 per cent. of the present value or
your fal'm ? 'The accossIblIty ! of a
mnrleet. You know what your grand.
fnthor did on that sarno farm ? Dl'ov .
his hogs and hauled hIs graIn 30 , O ,
maybe 75 , miles to the nearest market
town , and l'ecelvel1 prIces fa 1'- them
that would make ) 'ou howl about the
trusts. And he hauled bnck the Cam-
Ily supplies for whIch ho paid what
you would cons Idol' monopolistic
prlc s. Do you bappon to know' what
t.ho old farm was worth then ? Well ,
It lncleed a good deat of beIng $75 or
$100 an acre.
Yes , the home town , with Its handy
market , has ndvanced the value of
your property and made you worth
several thousand dol1'ars more than
your grandfather was worth. The
homo town affords schooling for your
children , and perhaps socIal and
church privileges whIch your tamlly
would not otherwIse enjoy. The rural
mall routes and telepbone systems ,
rndlntlng from the home town , as
spokes Cram a h b , brIng to your
borne the greatest conveniences of
modern times ,
Have you ever noticed thl1t the first
thIng the sotuers of a nowly.oponed
reservaUon do Is to send for n wagon
load of mall order catatogues ? Well , I
havon't. . They layout a town slto
every sIx or eight miles , stl1rt two or I
three general stores. build a school i

also , that without thom tbey must IIvo

To tbls lIne of argllment the farmer
may answer that hIs greatest obllga.
tlon , hIs firsl duty , Is to hIs Immedlato
prIce : ma'be It gIves a picture of the
arUclo also , but you don't see the
goods , The locat merchant shows yon
"tho goods ; you may examlno them
crItically ; he may allow you to test
them or to call in an expert to advlso
you. Is It fnlr to conclude that the
catalogue artlclo Is the cheaper just
becl1uso the price In lower ?
An element that must enter Into the
comparIson of goods . and prices Is ,
that In any attempt to fool UIO cus.
tomer , the local merchant Is decIded.
Iy at a dlsa.dvantage. Ho must show
the goods , not morel ) ' descrIbe them.
Ills business depends wholly upon tbo

The mall ol'dor house Is not so tlecl
