Complaints are frequently noticed In the
pre.sa n-wiiillng the operations of so-called

of a car of groceries nt that point by an

Thi'su comp'alnts arei so frequent that It
may not bo out of pl.lee to take some notice
of them. In the llrst place It muni bo iindei-
ntood that no regular wholesale house In
Omaha 01 any othet city solicits trade from
or sells dlieetly to the c-onaiimers This
business Is carried on bj houses making a
specialty of It , nnd most all the largo
cities have nt least ones such house These
people send their drummers out Into
the country und solicit orders , and
when siilllelenti goods ha\e been sold
to make up n carload the goods nro
shipped to the neatest stUlon and the
buyers notified to be tluro'on n coilnln day
and rioelvu their purchases. Au agent of
the company gous with ( he car nnd sees

Country * merchants say that the farmers

Wliolhoi this Is true or not It stands to
leuson th.it these Helf-st > lul wholisnle
houses cannot afford to ho to thu oxpenbu
of Bending agents out over thf country
from hoiiso to house nnd sell their goods for

utuU'iHell these people nnd convince the

thf'lr buying.
" \Vo can and do underr-ll them ; we glvo

The country mcictmut does not stop to
