" • ' ' • ,
[Cor.yrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Suilhraxi ]
Ridicule moy be au evidence of wit
or bitterness an<l may gratify h little
mind or an ungene#?>us temper, but is
no test of resson, truth or manhood.
Ridicule, besides being conscious and
uucouftclous. may also be indirect as
well as t'rect. negative as well as
positive, paralysing as well as amus-
ing. And myriad in number and Itlnd
are tbe ridiculous suggestions made
and being made by the enemies and
victims of the mall order concerns In
the hope of stopping their onwmrd
march of progress.
Do merchants always appreciate
their advantage? Would a friend of'
the merchant or dealer have sent his 1
first order to a stranger who showed'
pictures instead of goods, who talked'
on paper Instead of face to face, who'
demanded pay In advance Instead of;
allowing a more ouUmited credit hod
the merchant Improved his advan-
tages?
Ought to Emulate Rivals.
It would seem that after one expe-
rience of long delays, quite common
and to Jk great extent unavoidable In
trading;with mail order houses, sfter
Ofie experience of putting things to
advantages; succeed? He can by tin!
tating their methods and practices, by
allowing undisturbed inspection ot
goods sfid hy polite and courteous
treatment of till visitors to his store
thus creating m.w customers sud con
tinning f{i supply oid ones.
■v.- Ju a certain Indiana town a young
mau ordered a lieatlug stove, price
fS.Oo. When the stove came he w.ms
very much disappointed. The stov«
was small, while tbe picture in the
catalogue made It appear large and or
namental. Had this young man visit
ed his local dealer sud inspected tht
SH.PT. stove he would not have bought
It. hut would have selected one foi
112 or $14 and would have got ttu
right kind and one that would hav#
satisfied his needs. . ' ■ ■■ •
A Minnesota farmer ordered 8v«
rolls of barbed Mire. After Jt cairn
and he had paid the freight he discov-
ered that he could have buuiHit tht
much-time and trouble.
Msil Order Fence in WoodsKiraj
Another mau living in a rilla>re or
dered some wife fencing from a pic
ture in a catalogue/and when it ea«u
ft was wo cheap looking that his p:ld«
would not allow him to disfigure hh
grounds with such a fence, so he stor
ed It in his woodshed and bought whai
he wanted from his local dealer.
A lady in a little town in Missouri
sent to one of the large mail ordei
houses for a pair of shoes. Inclosing
$11)7 with her order. After twoW'eeki
the shoes came hy freight: charge)!

thau the first pair. She then gave up 1
in despair and visited her local dealer
crediting her Investment of $2.50 tt
experience.
i We slunild like to suggest to the con-
sumer that he| be honest with himself
buy at home: help support his owt
town: make h!s-; own home more val

hhs good thiugs in his own town. In i
