Do You Bite?
Do you bite every time an out of town circular
comes through the mail carrying an announcement
of “ exceptional” tmrgains! 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.-«-

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.
