THE HOME MERCHANT
Without any thought of senti
ment or suggestion that we owe
allegiance to any one, the coU hard
truth" i that the retail merchants
of our home town are the hest busi
ness friends we have. The retail
merchant conducts a school of com
merce for our education and the
tuition is free. Every man, woman
and child gels the benefit of seeing
in the home town about ever v thing
that is of real importance. In the
store of the retail nierchaut samples
of goods adapted for use in the com
munity are displayed and a Skilled
person is at hand to explain the
use and advantage of such things
This educational work is too conv
mon for us to appreciate, but take
away the influence of the retail
store and the' wheels of commerce
would soon Blip and begin to run
backward, because human progress
is only possible where the people
have an every day opportunity to
see and make actual comparisons.
Suppose the home town con
tained nothir.g more attractive
than the odorous railrad "stock
yards" and the lonesome, un
gainly grain elevator, what t
dreary old place it would be.
Take the retail stores out of a town
and what have you left?
It is well to remember that the
tidy housewife only sends away
for a dress after she has satisfied
herself fully as to the style in
texture and color schemes by re
peated visits to the local store
which is only another evidence of
their value. The thrifty man
must know exactly what he wants
before he invests any money in
goods he never saw. Where did
he get this necessary knowledge?
He got it by years of education
the retail stores.
Fellows, let's give the home mer
chant credit for what he has done
and is doing for us. He is
teacher whose school is open to us
twelve months in the year. He
keeps us informed about the prog
rest of the world by bringing its
latest and best offerings to ou
door. While we are occupied
with our own work he searches the
world over for things that will add
to our comfort or profit and keeps
them on display so we can see
them whenever we choose and be
come educated to tneir value and
use. lie protects us against fraud
and deceit. He stands for the
square deal.
You never ordered a ten dollar
lightning rod of your home mer
chant and then found your note
for a thousand dollars in the
bank next day as a result.
You never paid him sixty dollars
for a range that warped out of
shape in six months without
your wife getting the money back.
He never charged you seventy-five
dollars for a "trailer" buggy that
you found out afterward could be
bought anywhere for sixty.
No, the home merchant is just
like you. He lives where he does
business and his success depends
on making a friend of you and
your neighbor. Like you, he has
to "make good." ,
The retail merchant is now the
one great factor in our commercial
system and this is true solely be
cause he renders us a better service
than we can get elsewhere. Take
him away and our home town is
gone; take our home town away
and we deprive our children of the
retail store which is the greatest
single educational factor in mod
ern life. No, it cannot be. The
retail merchant will continue to
abide in our affections so long as
we value our homes, because the
average American citizen is proud
of his town (he always tells bow
close his farm is to it) and he
secretly despises the method of
peddlers and the peddler system
is now known to be the legitimate
father of the whole catalogue
house business. The Furrow.

America and the American marks
men thus become the champions
of the world. The American
aggregate score was 2553; that of
the British team 2486, while the
Canadian score was 2439.
, Starting with a lead at the end
of the first range, the Americans
never were displaced, and with the
exception of the contest j at the
600-yard range, they scored higher
totals for each of the six distances
than the finest teams that Canada
and all Europe 'could put in the
field.
In the individual aggregate the
Americans always were prominent,
first Leuehner and then Martin
leading all the world's crack rifle
men. Many experts consider the
outcome a victory not only for the
men but for the rifles. They de
