ODD BITS OF NEWS 0 9 Ò 1 AGED PIONEER WOMAN PASSES GOODS “NOT MARKED” The man who buys his goods of a mail order house and expects his neighbors at home to buy labor of him, or buy personal service of him, is economically a leach. He is sucking industrial blooc out of the town and gives none back. He sends his profits out of town, like a Chinamen, and has no more right to a standing in the community than a foreigner. We are all neighbors industrially in our home town, and the man who sends away for his goods is not one of us. He is another industrial system and deserves no local man’s support. The fact that this is economically wrong, is recognized by the- mail order houses themselves. They protect their customers a s thieves by offering to keep people from knowing where the mail order goods are coming from. The mail order houses have no “ tags” on their goods. They say in their catalogues that none of their goods is marked and that no one knows where they are bought. If it is proper to hide the place of purchase of an article, it is wrong to buy the article at that place. Only the man who steals is ashamed to say where he got anything he has. There is such a thing as “ tainted dry goods, tainted groceries and tainted furniture.” All of such that are not bought at home, of the men who befriended you, of the men to whom you ov,». a living, are “ tainted” because they come unfairly.
