Or do you» visit local dealers who earn’ articles which are just as good and many eases better than those advertised on the circular, in order to compare prices! Yesterday a Circular advertising a make of tire unknow u to the recipient of the letter was taken to a local accessory dealer, whose prices are representa tive of those throughout the city. The circular ad vertised a tire, with a tube free at prices which can be met at any tire shop in the city. For instance a size advertised at $15.85, with tube “ tree,” could be purchased at $12.35 at the local shop, this price in clusive of tire and tube. The tires offered by the California concern were little known. Those offered by the local dealer were nationally advertised pro ducts and carried at year’s insurance. In no case were the prices quoted locally higher than the prices of the California concern—in most cases they were lower. Other articles were advertised. It was imjms- sible to compare the prices to any degree of satis faction because the quality of the circularized pro duct was known, there being no nationally known trade attached. It is a mighty safe guess that those prices could be met at any Grants Pass store. Thfit California concern doesn’t do Oregon any good. The money it takes from this state goes to make California a richer state and goes to taxes there. Money spent in Grants Pass remains here to a great extent and local taxes are paid from it. It is spending at home that makes it possible for local merchants to make improvement in their places of business and to offer better prices because their • volume of business is larger. There is absolutely no argument to be used in purchasing goods of .unknown quality from mail com cerns when their prices cannot compete with local prices. The next time one of these circulars arrives, chasing, you will find that you can do better by spending at home and getting something^backed by the reputation of your home town merchants.-«- G rants Pass Courier. The Path Of Progress • There seems to be a general opinion current that the country is going to the doga As proof of this we are told that women wear their skirts too short and nse too much kalsotuine on their faces. Young men are said to addicted to hip flasks and. young women to cigarettes, all greatly to their disadvantage and to the disadvantage of society. Literature is said to contain a lot of things Which modest people shouldn’t read. Many declare vulgar shows are permitted in the theatres. Blame for all this is placed on the younger gen eration. And it may be placed there rightly. But the younger generation is also doing a few other things which our great-grandfathers never thought of doing. • For instance people 50 years ago didn’t fly from New York to Paris in airplanes. They didn’t even ride from Seattle to San Francisco in automobiles on paved highways, a thing which doesn’t even seem worth mentioning any more. In those days they died of small pox and today a death from small pox is al most unknown. 'Along with this list comes the tele phone, phonograph, motion pieture, radio and a thousand other things. All these things are convenient, pleasant and generally admitted to be highly desirable. People half a century ago may have been brighter than those of today but the results don’t show it. As a matter of fact most of the evils we complain of today wore well known in the mid-Victorian period and some of the things we look upon as evidence of de cadence are as out of date as a wooden bath tub. Ashland voters showed a decidedly “ wet” tend ency at the recent election. short cut seen on the streets The læssiinist unrely .hut, something to growel about.
