TWO BI QUESTIONS I I THE "MORAL ODLIGATION" AND I "DOES IT PAY ? " SHOULD BE CON DERED An Honest Answer to These Will Keep the Trade with the Home Merchant Every Time. " - ( 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 that tbo thrifty person will bp In. cJlnel1 to Interpret an answer from the prIces quoted In black.facel1 figures In the catalogue. Neither of these Questions should bo lightly dlsmlssod. 1\Iol'al obllga. tlon Is not sentimental nonsense , anll 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.

' M' _ ) 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 house , a church , a blacksmith sbop , a graIn elevator , petition tbo depl1rt. ment for a post office , and start a newspapor. They know , from former experlonco that , with tboso tblngs close by , lite w11l bo endurable , what. ever hardships may come. They know , also , that without thom tbey must IIvo l ve of Isolotlon and endure an oxlst- ence that Is contrar ) ' to an natural huml1n Instincts. On the ether hanll , It goes wIthout saylnc , that the averao country town cl1nnot oxiat without the sllpport of Ita trlbuta1' ) ' torrltory.

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 IImltod tradIng area of hIs town anl1 his ability to Insplro confidence withIn that clrolo. Ho cannot afford to make a practlco of mlsreprosontlng hIs goods , The mall ol'dor house Is not so tlecl down to the maxIm that "Honesty Is the best policy. " It has no nolghbors , no fellow cItizens , no mutual Interesls I with Its patrons , Its trade area Is wI do and always shlrtlnc. Naturally these condItions do not demand extra. ordInary vlgllanco In Bllpplrlng hon. ost-mado goods. And where Vigilance Is not a needed employe In the busl. ness ho Is genorally. taken oft the pay roll , whIch makes a savIng In expense , as well as In the cost of the goods. 11 lower prIces are ql10tell by the cata. loguo bouse , may not thIs account for It ? "W11I It pay ? " Is It a matter at economy to buy Intorlor and damaged goods when the same money , or oven a lIttle moro , will pay for 1ool1s of the best quality ? Which course docs a man's first duty to 1IIs own household dictate ? But to got at the bottom of thnt quostlon , we must cOl1l1lder , the far. reachIng general orrect of mall order tradIng.
