Before your little eyes are heavy
with sleep,; my good children, I will
tell you the story of how a certain
class of people did themselves and
ttheir neighbors an Injustice by order-
ing goods from mail order firms when
they could get better merchandise at
liome and help their own town grow.
Once upon a time, uot so long ago
<it couldn’t have been very long ago
Bteause the people were still talking
about the baby tank which was shown
Sere, and how it helped Parker Coun-
ty go "over the top" with the Victory
liberty Loan), there lived a man
-named Billy and a beautiful maiden,
whom we will call Princess Zoe, be-
cause this Is a pretty name for her.
Now Princess Zoe loved all the
children and they loved her for she
was always cheerful, optimistic, smil-
ing and had a kind word for all men;
especially those who helped his fel-
low man. She loved the flowers, the
trees, our great prairies, these bound-
less acres of ranch land and the big
outdoors life.
So it came to pass that Princess Zoe
visited our fair city, for reasons
which will be another story, and when
Billy had told her of these people
who bought their goods of the mail
order houses she could not believe
him and asked that he show her what
manner of stores and merchants were
here, whiqfr was why the two set out
for a shopping trip. - .
First they stopped at a hardwire
store. Here they saw great stacks
of binding twine for the harvesters;
tools for workmen and new farm im-
plements with many labor saving de-
vices to increase efficiency and pro-
duction. Then they visited the drug
stores, with their new furniture and
fixtures, where the shelves were
stocked with a wide assortment of
goods, where the thought of cleanli-
ness and order was shown throughout.
Passing a garage they saw service
men giving attention to the needs of
a tourist car, while inside the stock
room and parts department was full
of high-class tires, accessories and
things that motorists need. They
next dropped in at the sporting goods
shop where the courteous clerks were
busy showing guns, ammunition, golf
clubs and like equipment. The dry
goods stores and ladies’ shops were
visited and there they saw the latest
fashions in dainty frocks, attractive
millinery and a surprising exhibition
of summer goods and trimmings. In
a furniture store they were shown
new creations * in artistic and useful
furnitrue which almost made them
wish they were going to keep house.
And having become tired and thirsty
they stopped in a fountain shop where
they were served by attentive clerks
in immaculate dress.
“We have visited,” said Billy to the
Princess, "most of thq business hous-
es affected by the man order business
but I have not yet shown you some
up-to-date grocery stores with their
tempting wares, nor have I taken‘you
to the cafea. As soon as you are suf-
ficiently rested we wil visit the office
of a dentist who is Installing a splen-
did X-ray machine. We will also call
on the best posted lease man in this
part of the country, who will show us
his geological maps and tell us about
the oil prospects in any county from
Wichita on the north to San Patricio
on the Bouth. After that I will intro-
duce you to one of our leading bank-
ers, a man of energy and ability, who
will take pride in telling us about the
capital and resources of our four pros-
perous banks. Also I want you to
know the leading produce man, who
has the reputation of shipping the lar-
gest number of the finest watermel-
ons raised in the best county of the

And having visited among the mer-
chants and business men, they took a
drive to Mineral Heights, past the Gun
Club and through the Golf Club
grounds. And while they were driving
Billy told the Princess about the splen-
did work the ladies had done with j
their Red Cross organization; al^o
the many civic improvements which
the ladies bad carried through to sue-’
cess. He told her of the Elks club,
Masonic organizations, the Knights of
Pythias and the Odd Fellows. And
after they had driven 4o the Orphans’
Home he showed her with pride the
government building, the peanut fac-
tory and flour mill. Then followed
drive through the residence section
where the beautiful homes, schools
and churches were pointed out with
justified pride.
"This is a wonderful country,” said
Princess Zoe, “a beautiful city, ^nd if
I lived here I would have my supper
out on The ’Rocks every evening thi^
summer.”
And it came to pass that the Prin-
cess, who was a writer of great pow-
er, had come in our midst to learn
about the situation, and having obtain-
ed the necessary “local color," the
story which she wrote was published
in the large magazines, and all the
trade papers asked permission to use
it, and the newspaper copied it for
their local issues, and the commerlcal
organizations, together with the re-
tail merchants’ associations had the
story printed in handy book form so
that, like “A Message to Garcia” and
“A Thin Volume,” it might have un-
limited circulation.
And after the injustice of the prac-
tive had been firmly fixed in the
minds of the. people, through this sto-
ry, those who had been neglecting
local merchants for mail order houses
began to appreciate the advertise-
ments of our own firms, after which
they did their shopping aat home, just
like each of you should do, my good
children when you grow up to be big
men and women.
