MAIL ORDER
HOUSES A MENACE
It is ft recogniied fact that the
retail business of the country vil
lage and the large towns, for
that matter, is being destroyed,
says Richard Eyrd in the Talis
man. Year by year the once pros
perous merchants are being forced
to the wall driven out by the
mail order business. And thia is
taking place in the face of the fact
that the population and purchas
ing power of the country districts
are ever on the increase.
The mail order bouses are draw
ing the cash retail trade from its
natural channels to the cities.
The growth of this octopus has
been phenomenal. From a jelly
like idea without form an ex
periment fifteen years ago, it has
grown to proportions that threateu
the exterm nation of the retail
country merchant.

Why do they do it? It is owing
partially to tbe desire of toe aver
age person to be humbugged and
partially to the effect of persistent
advertising. The mail order house
sends out its attractive literature,
composed of well-illustrated cata
logues and cheap magazines known
as mail order papers. Tbe goods
are set out in the most attractive
manner. It is a tempting bait and
the fish bite.
All of these millions come out of
the legitimate trade of the country
merchant, the man who has in
vested his capital, built himBelf a
home and been active in building
up the town, with tbe expectation
that he would be allowed to do a
legitimate business in a legitimate
way. He is entitled to the trade
of his town and the -country ad
jacent. He pays his taxes and
contributes to the support of the
community. That community
the trade of that town fell on un
til more than 40 per .cent of all
the larger merchants failed in two
years. These people didn't buyJ
their merchandise any cheaper,
and they didn't recognize the fact
that they bad unconsciously par
ticipated in a scheme that emptied
their houses, cut real estate to less
40 per cent of its former
value, Snd almost wrecked a com
munity that had been very pros
perous. A public meeting r as

Woman' Toast To Man
BALL
Here's to men. Since Adam's
time
They've always been the same;
Whenever anything goes wrong,
The woman is to blame.
From early morn to late at night,
The men faultfinders are;
They blame us if they overt leep,
Or if they miss a car.
They blame us if beneath the bed,
Their collar buttons roll;
They blame us if the fire is out
Or if there is no coal.
They blame us if they cut them
selves
While shaving, and they swear
That we're to blame if they decide
To go upon a tear.

Speaking of the evils of the mail
order business, which will be in
creastd if f Postmastea-General
Meyer's proposed parcels post law
is enacted, Tom Richardson, man
ager of the Portland Commercial
Club, said in a recent address:
"I have seen, through the work
of one wealthy and influential
manufacturer, the merchants of a
town ot five thousand people
actually ruined. It was not the
intention of this manufacturer to
hurt the retail merchants of his
own town, but his family got into
the habit of buying from mail
order houses, and talking about
We love them just the same.
