Patron of Mail Order Paper Says He Would Buy at Home II Merchants Would Tell Him What They Have. mi i 11 iii rne ionowinpr letter was re ceived by the editor the Alexan dria Citizen, published at Alexan dria, Minn, the writer being a i . i iarmer reaaer 01 tnat paper: If the mail order house get n.UOO out ot thi scounty each month that belongs to the home merchants, as you say they do, the fault is wth the merchants them selves. The mail order house ad vertises, ana gnes us prices on everything they offer for sale. They tell us what they have and what they want for it. Of course we get soaked one in awhile, and if we do we can try some other house Most of the home mer chants who advertise at all don't quote price. They neglect to tell us what we want to know, the price, and the goods they have. Of course we can go to the store and ask the price of this article and that, but you know how it is one doesn t know so well ex actly what he wants to buy when he crets in a store. And here is where the mail order houses ma&e the hit. They send us their advertising matter into our homes, and we read it when we haven't anything else to do, and every member of the family who reads their stuff usually finds somthing that ne or some other member of the family wants, and many orders are made up ana sent out at just such times. "Right here is where the home merchant falls down. If he talked up his business to us in our homes the same as the mail order houses do, the people would be in to see him the next time they came to town, and in many cases extra trips would be made to get the things at once that we didn't know we wanted, until they were brought to our atten tion. The home merchant can save the expense of getting out a catalogue- We people read the home papers move carefully thanj we do the catalogue, and read them every week, and if the mer chants wants to talk in the Daners he must put his ad. in so we know what he means. The home merchants likely, nine times out of ten, sells his goods as the mail order house, and believe on many things they are much cheaoer. but how are we to know it if he doesn't tell us about it. A merchant must not think that even his best customers know his goods so well that they can tell what he has without being told. It is none of my business how the home merchant runs his bus iness, but I don't like to see these roasts in the papers all the time about us fellows who get a little stuff shinned once in awhile and never anything said on the other side There are always two sides two a question, and I have given you mine. If it is worth any thing to you, you can take it. Life is so short that it were much better that we give bread instead of a stone. "Down over the isthmus into the sea" is a brief journey and the voyage is long on the ocean of eternity. What will it matter, friend, that you did not resent when a scorpion was given when you desired an egg In that long voyage will you and I be regretting our failure to return evil for evil? Will we be lamenting our failures to take an eye for an eye or a tooth for, a tooth? I trow not. But in that voyage if we can stand on the bow of the vessel and have! the wings of a child's love fan our cheeks or the prayer of an oppressed onegently waft us on A 1 . . . t L If t I I ST.
