Hardly a day passes but there is a shipment Into every town of a large amount of goods purchased of the big mail order houses at Chicago. Those who buy claim they save money on their purchases. You will never find one who will admit that he lout money or got Inferior goods. Neither could you find a man who would admit that he bad bought a gold brick, if there were those In this com munity foolish enough to so Invest good money for a plated piece of copper. On the other hand, If a local merchant over-charges or soils an article that does not prove standard, he is berated up and down the width and breadth of the county. ThlB simply proves that the mall order houses are given protection In their dealings, which Is of great com mercial advnntngo to them, whllo the local merchant is taken to taxk for every short-coming and it Is disastrous to his Interests. An unkind word will travel farther and go faster than one hundred words of praise. An unkind word is gossip, gossip In the granary ; gossip In the work shop and In the home and on the streets. Why not apply this gossip to some of the large mail order firms. If you have been bitten by them why not tell your neighbors ? I have tented these firms. It was once a part of my business to buy of these people to see what they had to offer and to learn their business methods. I once paid 75 cents for a hose attach ment to a bath-tub. The same article was sold locally for 50 cents. Together with postage on letter, and package and paper and envelope I was "did" out of 31 cents. One firm has a business of $25,000,000 a year. They spend close to a million for their catalogue and catalogue postage. Their newspaper advertising costs them at least another million, and rent, operating expenses, clerical biro, in surance, etc., must cost them anothor million. At least 25 per cent of their sales must be charged to selling cost. Now go to a local merchant for In stance, say that you wore buying a farm wagon or a kitchen range, and ask the merchant to show you what he actually paid the manufacturer for the wagon or the range, and you will find that ho Is making less than 15 per cent, on the sale. How can these firms sell so low ? Because they take a popular farm wagon,'and go to one firm and buy the wheels, and another and buy the bed, and another the seat, so on. These parts nr. assembled at one of their warelioiiK's and nmdo into a wagon, every part of which has been cheapened in the buying of separate parts. Two coats of paint will eovor most any de fect In the word. A little cheaper steel or Iron on this part and that part will lessen the cost 00 cents to $1.00. And whon the vuon Is complete you have a wagon that looks like Its counterpart, but Is cheaper by $5.00 or $10.00. And bo with every article In tbolr catalogues. Even In dress goods they oan cause a few cotton threads to ap pear here In and there in tho weaving and save a few cents on the yard. I want every patron of these mall order houses to consider thoughtfully before they buy from them again.- W. B. Powell, in American Advertiser. Quick A r rent. J. A. Gulledge, of Verbena, Ala., was twioe in the hospital from a severe oose of plies causing 24 tumors. After doctors and all remedies failed, Buck len's Arnica Sulvo quickly arrested further Inflammation and cured him. It conquers aches and kills pain. 25o at H. Alex Stoke, Druggist.'
