N a recent Issuo of The Times there
nppenred n strong editorial casti
gating Coos Day citizens for send-
lnr; $25,000 away during tho year
to foreign mail order or catalog
houses. This article was written and
published for the single purpose of
educating tho people of this city nnd
community ngalnst dealing with theae
lioufton and In favor of patronizing
homo merchants, whether those mer
chants reside hero and do luminous
lioro or elsewhere In Cooi county.
Wo have board some friendly nnd
somo unfriendly comment upon tho
Times.
The mall order houses leave not a
dollar of business with this little
newspaper or this printing plant
Thoy spond not a lollar hero Mi
taxes, not n dollnr In helping us build
our roads or pave or Improve our so thnt wo may know who you nro
and can help convince you that you
are wrong, and let us nnd somo of
our merchants show you bow and
why you err.
j Following Is tho letter sent by
'"Header" to Tho Times nnd we pub
lish It In full and without changes:
Marshflcld, Ore., April 10, 1911.
Kdltor Times:
, I notice, what I suppose you call
a smart nnd Interesting article, In
The Times In regard to tho catalog
houses. I order very nearly all my
goods, shoes and hnrdwnrc that I
and my family use. And for what
reason? Simply because a worklnn
nmn can't afford to pay the Coos
liny prlcos for tho goods be uses.
You talk In Vour llttlo pnpor ns
tf
blood from our merchants nnd In the
end the citizen who buys those goods
gets n cheaper, article tbnu he could
buy n bolter nrtlcle for a little nioro
money aphonic.
If every citizen of Coos Hay and
, Coos county did like "Header" says
he dees, then there would be no Coos
liny Times or other county papers to
defend tho people's rights or help in
the development of this city nnd
county's rosourcos. Tho business men
would soon close their shops, nnd
when this Is done the county newspa
pers will close their doors nnd move
tholr plants to other nioro lucrntlvo
Holds of endeavor. 'Wo cannot exist
upon the subscription money thnt
comos lazily llowlng Into the coffers, though people can't tell good goodH
of this nowspnpor.
We ropoat that nny man or woman
who on r n 8 his or her livelihood In
this city or county Is disloyal to tho
Intorosts of tholr home when thy
send this money galloping Into tho
coffors of, a $30,000,000 corporation
thnt annually declares a dividend of
thirty-three and one-third per cent
upon Its capital.' We ask If nny of
these ninll order bouses extends to
you, Mr. "Header" a lino of credit
who;! you hnppeu to be out of work,
when you or your family Is sick? In-
stand wo havo taken nnd have re-

is ns follows:
"Mnrshflold, Ore., April 10, 1011.
Kdltor Coos Day Times: Iu your
Issuo of April 7, under the bending,

myself I hnvo bought nnd priced
goods here nnd I find I can order the
snmo nrtlclo exactly nnd pay freight
nnd snvc from thirty to ninety per
cent. Ab to you publishing the
names of thoso ordering goods, I
suppose no ono Is nshamod of It. And
ono good thing you can pass no lnw
prohibiting goods from coming
through tho mnlls, express nnd
freight. If such a lnw wns to tnko

agrco with you In your contention
thnt wo should all patronlzo homo

would bo well for you to look at both I

Bonding tholr money away, to pay for

IIouso, whon there Ih enough In Cooa
county for nil. The money for this
butter goes to tho same place as the
$14,000 for which you say, "Shame
on such people of this city for their
dloloynlty." Tho people who send
away for goods, do so because they
think thoy save money by doing so.
Tho morchnutH buy the Chicago Pack
ing House butter, because they make
a llttlo moro pro lit by doing so.
Thoro aro some morchnnta horo
who buy very llttlo If any Coos Hay
buttor, sending hundreds of dollars
oach month to other places for it,
yot thoy make a great fuss If n Cooa
Dny dairyman sends to Portland for
a hundred dollars worth of goods.
A COOS HAY DA1HYMAN."
Coos Hay Dairyman la right. The
Times has no moro uho for the mer
chant, business man or banker who
Bonds away for articles that may bo
purchased at home than he has for
tho disloyal citizen who makes his
monoy hero and then sonds It away
to build up Portland, San Fraucla-o
nnd Chicago bouses. It Is by stand
ing by each other that communities
muke progress nnd grow prosperous.
Home Industries nnd home business
houses should receive tho support of
homo people
Now for tho other lettor which M
Scars, Hoobuck & Co., or Montgo
mery, Ward & Co., and havo them go
good for him at tho ban,k or furnish
him money to develop his farm or
business with money from tholr over
flowing till.
Wo say that It Is for tho best in
terests of every citizen to buy at
home. Hero Is an oxamplo showing
thnt thoso big owners of mnll order
houses havo no faith In tho shoddy
stock thnt they sell. It Is taken from
tho tiles of tho Northwest Furnltuio
Hovlow and has not boon doulod by
tho sonlor member of tho big Chicago

It will bo Interesting uowa to our

KNOCKING.
We dislike to "knock." We much prefer to
boost. As a progressive local business institu
tion we believe, as a rule, in saying kind
'things, or letting unkind words go unsaid.
On ono particular subject, however, wo be
lieve that intelligent "knocking" is warranted
and justified. .
That subject is the GASOLINE COOK STOVE.
The gasoline cook stove deserves harsh treat
ment because it KILLS AND MAIMS many
people and DESTROYS a great deal of PROP
ERTY annually.
Any one who reads the newspapers knows
we are telling the truth. Nearly everyone
knows first hand of incidents bearing out our.
statement. It is not necessary to quote figures,
