Patronize Home Merchants. , An exchange truly remarks that this Is the season when the thoughtless search tbe pages of illustrated cata logues of tbe mall order bouses, be come impressed with tbe beautiful half tone pictures and the brilliantly written description of the article and send their cash away for it. Nine times out of ten if they would but take tbe pains to look over the stock of the home merchant tbey could find a better article for tbe same money and deposit the sum that would have been expended for freight and handling, to tbeir credit in tbe bank. Tbe fact that much of the stuff sold by the catalogue bouses goes to pieces in a very short time seems to be altogether overlooked by those who have the mania of buying out of town. Tbe fact that the goods are constructed for appearance only and that tbe mail order people are amassing vast fortunes while the home merchant ekes out a modest competence, falls toopen the eyes of these people to the tremendous profits of these concerns.
