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. William Allen White.
