PLEASANT GAP.
There should be a building corpor-
ation organized here and a number of
new tenant houses erected. Not a va-
cant house at the Gap and scores of
applicants daily hunting houses. A
project of this character would pay
immensely.
Jack Noll had one of his cars bad-
ly demolished down at the crossroads
in the lower end of the valley recently.
The offender who caused the trouble
very generously : agreed to pay the
“fiddler,” inasumch as he admitted he
was the cause of the mishap.
* John Herman, of Philadelphia, spent
Christmas with his mother, Mrs. John
Herman. + The mission here was evi-
dently to accquaint his mother and
good friends of the recent good luck
of Mr. and Mrs. John Herman. It's a
hoy and answers to the name of Jack
r.
* Our sportsmen did reasonably well
during the past hunting season. All
told thirteen deer were brought down,
one bear and quite a bunch of foxes.
The smaller game also yielded good.
The Kerstetter club landed five bucks,
the home talent team had a total of
four bucks from the Greenvalley dis-
trict and four bucks were brought in
by the day hunters.
Our assistant postmaster, Mr. John
Mulfinger, is succeeding remarkably
. well. He is very attentive to business,
active, accommodating and extreme-
ly obliging. Johnny says he will help
us out during the winter but can’t af-
ford to handle the mails during the
summer. Being an expert gardener
he refuses to abandon his garden in
the summer season, as the postmas-
ter’s salary does not justify him to
neglect the garden.
The weather here has been ex-
tremely cold the past week, the ther-
mometer bordering in the vicinity of
Zero; however, the: weather man pre-
dicts a rising temperature for a brief
time at least, which is’ encouraging
news, and all know that his excellen-
cy frequently verifies his guesses.
Why the beginning of the year was
placed in the midst of winter is a mys-
tery that can probably be explained
only on the hypothesis that January
is the first of the spring months in
the latitude where the autocrats lived
who fixed it. When the sun shines the
emotion is founded on delightful oc-
currences and causes a universal ex-
pansion of vital action.. The blood
flows more liberally throughout the |
whole system, . the countenance be-
comes expanded, its expression bright-
ens, and the whole surface acquires
the ruddy tint and genial warmth of
health. The body becomes more bouy-
ant and lively. So far as the weather
regulations are concerned there is a
higher power Who looks after that
and He knows best, and we should be
contented. Mysterious are the work-
ings of Providence; but the time will
come when we shall see the wisdom of
all the dealings of God.
Our main standby, Whiterock, ac-
cording to authentic reports, is forg-
ing ahead to the great satisfaction of
our entire community. Too much
credit cannot be given to the new
management. The entire plant un-
derwent a thorough overhauling, re-
modeling all departments. Some
$40,000 has been spent in the past six
months, so that today Whiterock is a
first-class lime producing plant in
every respect, and compares favorably
with any -similar corporation in this
country. The fruits of this energetic
movement is showing most encourag-
ing results. It is learned from a reli-
able source that the corporation has
sufficient orders booked and in sight
to keep the plant running full time
from January 1st to April 1st. The
good work is apparently a great en-
couragement to the operators and em-
ployees as well. The future progress’
and financial advancement of White-
rock now seems to be an assured fact.
The corporation is composed of most-
ly responsible, practical business men;
some of the ablest and most shrewd
financiers in Central Pennsylvania;
hence it is that the prospects are ma-
terializing beyond anticipations. The
brilliancy and efforts of this enter-
prising bunch of men is more like the
light of the Aurora Borealis than the
golden light of the sun.

DOES BUSINESS oN
OTHER MAN'S CASH
Capital of the Mail Order House
Is Furnished by Its
Customers.
WORKS ALWAYS ON ‘VELVET
in Which They Are
Interested.
(Copyright.)
It is a mighty nice thing to be able
to do business on the other fellow’s
money, but there are fea people who
can do it. Probably the only busi-
ness men who, as a class, are able
to do this, are the mail order men ip
the big cities.
Did you ever stop to think—yomu,
who have ordered goods from a mail
order house and there are probably
few who have not done that at some
time or other—that you are supplying
the cash upon which the mail order
man is doing business? You are well
aware of the fact that your cash must
go with your order if you expect to re-
ceive the goods, but have you ever
stopped to think what that means? Do
you realize that you are supplying the
capital for a business which is run-
ning in direct competition with your
home merchants, upon whose prosper-
ity you and your fellow townsmen are
dependent for a livelihood?
The majority of mail order houses
do not carry large stocks of goods.
They do not have to. When the mail
order man gets your order, accom-
panied by the cash, of course, he can
take a part of your money and go to
the manufacturer or the wholesaler
and buy the article that is wanted. The
rest of the money he can put down in
his pocket after paying his operating
costs, which are light when compared
with those of the merchant who must
carry a large stock of goods to meet
the demands made upon him.
In Class by Themselves.
There is absolutely nc other class ov
men who do business on the capital
furnished by their customers. Even
the retail store which sells for cash
only cannot do this for he must carry
a large stock and in most cases must
pay cash for it in order to get prices
that will enable him to make lower
prices to his customers than can be
made by the merchant who gives credit
to his customers.
The mail order man doesn’t need to
nave any of his own capital invested
in his business—or any large amount
of it, at least, in proportion to the vol-
ume of the business which he does. He
does not have to pay interest to the
banks on money borrowed to help him
finance his business. The mail order
man figures that about one-half of the
amount he receives on any order goes
to the wholesaler or manufacturer in
payment for the goods ordered. Of
the remainder a part goes for postage,
printing, maintenance of office and
plant, insurance, etc. What is left,
which is by no means an insignificant
part of every dollar received, goes into
dividends to stockholders in the mail
order corporation. All this has been
done without any capital other than
that which may be required to pay of-
fice expenses.
Suppose, for a minute, that you dia
ousiness with the local merchants on
the same plan. Suppose that they did
not carry any goods in stock, that
when you wanted to buy something |
you should go to one of your home |
"merchants, look in his catalogue and |:
pick out an article that seemed to be |
similar to the one that you wanted,
hand over the price as shown by the |
catalogue and tell him to order it for
vou. The merchant would take your
money and you would wait for your
goods until they arrived from a dis-
tant city.
: ‘Not So Anxious.
But the people who make up an)
<ommunity are not nearly as anxious
to furnish capital to the home mer-
chant—the man who helps “make” the
town—as they are to the mail order
man in the far distant city, who does
nothing and cares nothing for the peo-
ple.who furnish him the money on
which to do business. They insist that
the home merchant shall carry a large
stock of goods from which they can
select what they wish, when they think
it is to their interest to buy from him.
They insist that he shall stand back of
the goods he sells and make good any
defect that may appear in them. They
insist that he shall sell them what they
wish and wait for the money until they
get ready to pay it. They insist that
he shall sell goods at the same prices
or lower prices than the mail order
houses charge for goods of poorer qual-
ity. And finally, they insist that the
home merchant shall furnish the large
amount of capital that is required to
conduct a business on this plan.
The mail order buyer may say that
he has the right to spend his money
anywhere he pleases and he has, legal-
ly. But he probably has never stopped
to reflect on the fact that he is supply-
ing the capital for the operation of a
concern which is in direct competition
with enterprises in which he is directly | €:
interested, for every man, woman and | >
child*in*a-town is directly interested-in | @ -
the success of the business enterprises
‘| in that town. I these business enter-
prises are not prosperous, the town
cannot be prosperous. To supply capi-
: tal to your competitor is not very good
Yusiness.
