1 Answer This ?
I noticed an nrtiule in The Stah of
April 23 concerning people who patron
ize mail order houses, with n kindly
invitation or, perhaps, rather a chal
lenge, for any one to answer. Now
thank you Mr. Citizen, I don't care if I
do make a few public remarks.
In the first placs the objection urged
against sending to mail order houses is
that people send tVir money i v. ay from
homo instead of f ponding it it home.
Now this objection is surely at i asy one
' to r.nswer. Don't the merehan send the
money that hi gets out of th j sale of
his goods, or most of it, "a'uy from
homo" too ? Unless ho gets he lion's
share of the price ha gets for lis gooOs
from people who do not know lie value
of the goods they buy, he certu .nly does.
Of course he cannot handle gO 'Os with
out a profit ; wo all know that. But
now, see here : Suppose I am a carpen
ter or a miner or laborer of i.ny sort;
I work hard and it Is all I can do to lake
decent care of my family and muke both
ends meet. My neighbor is a murchant.
I need a new stove or sowing machine
or any common article. I can send and
get what I want at a modurate cost, but
my neighbor, the merchant, would like
to do my "sending off" and "spending
the money away from home" for mo, so
he asks me to deal with him and then,
'of course, he is obliged to add a nice
percentage to the cost of the article for
his own pocket and expects me to pay
it all. Now the only difference I can
gee between the merchant sending away
for my goods and me sending for them
myself, is this : The merchant sends
away to the city cost of the goods and
has a percentage for his own pocket,
while if I send for the goods myself I
have that percentage for my own
pocket. -Now in which case is "the
money sent away from homo" and in
wnien case is it "lert at homo t" I can
seo little difference between the two
cases, only in the first case he holds the
part of the retail price not sent away
and, in tho other case I hold it, and I can
put it in circulation at home -just as
good as ho can.
Every thriving community has its
exports as well as its imports and when
the exports and imports about balanco
each other in value there is no danger
of a scarcity of money. Talk about
trading farm produce for the things
the farmer must buy. If the merchant
can sond away and get his potatoes,
meat, and butter a cent cheaper than
they can possibly bo produced at homo,
tne ones wno love tneir follow man so
well that thoy will not do it are rare
Merchants are not merchants for tho
purpose of paying taxes or giving to
charity, but they are merchants for
their own profit. Why not everybody
be their own merchant wheu ver pos
sible and have the protits in ti-ilr own
pockets? Then wo will have com
munities of people able to pay all the
necessary taxes and build their own
churches and buy firecrackers for the
4th of July, etc.
I havo not hero pretended to discuss
this question as It might bo discussed,
as I would not Btk for space t do it,
but suffice it to sav hero yet tl t in this
world everything is struggllt for its
own existence. Kvery nm . ellhor
directly or indirectly, is lool-ing ufler
his own welfare Whon men deal with
men they try to deal for a profit to
themselves. Woe unto '1 e man,
financially, if ho tries to rev I so this.
So I must do. If I can get im goods I
have to buy, from a mail or at house
cheaper than from a local m l chant I
am using poor judgment f I deal
through the merchant whose profit is
my loss. Anothkr Citizen.

We own and offer (in amounts to suit purchasers) the best industrial" security ever offered to
the investors of this community.
The controlling interest in Reynoldsville's new "STEEL PLANT" has recently been
purchased by Pittsburg people who are old in the successful management of large iron and
steel properties.
Necessary additions are being made to the equipment, and new and heavy machinery is
being added. Upon completion of these improvements a full line of Alligator Shears, Cold
Saws, Rolling-Mill and Contractors' Machinery will be extensively manufactured at the
Company's works, and sold from their Pittsburg offices.

against which the $30,000.00 of First Mortgage bonds are the first and prior lien.
The Company has issued $30,000.00 six per cent First Mortgage Gold Bonds in de
nomination of $100.00, $200.00, $500.00 and $1,000.00 each and we, the undersigned, have
purchased a very large proportion of the entire issue.

cember 1st of each year, at The Peoples National Bank, Reynoldsville, Pa.

equipments, franchises, property and revenues of the American Production Company, and a
special condition in the mortgage provides that bonds to the amount of $2,500.00 shall be
retired e very year, after the first two years.

These bonds have been issued under the supervision and advice of the following attor
neys, viz : Messrs. Charles Corbett, of Brookville, Pa., Weil & Thorp, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
and G. M. McDonald, of Reynoldsville, Pa.; any of whom can vouch for the binding val
idity of these securities.
The undersigned being personally acquainted with the "STEEL PLANT" property,
consider these bonds as the best of the kind ever offered in this community, and recom
mend them as a safe investment.
Prompt subscriptions for bonds in amounts from $100.00 up will be received by the un
dersigned at the price of par and accrued interest. Allotments will be made as subscrip
