DUNGAN STORIES OF THE ROLLING DOLLAR When a Chronic.Catatog Buyer Opened His Eyes Copyright, 1914 DUNGAN BROTHERS PAINTS AND WALL PAPER Glass, Picture and Room Moulding - - Painting and Decorating Phone, Main 1512 The Rolling Dollar dropped with a satisfied sigh into the grocer's till. "Glad I'm safely back from that trip," he chiiped to the other dol lars who kept! themselves round and healthy by an active life like his own. "That was a risky stroke of Fate that dragged me off to Mossdale. My wings almost shook off their eagle feathers in an ague of fear that I would never see any of you busy folks again. Why ? Because Mossdale folks trade with Chicago mail order houses and what chance has one little dollar to get back when about the only adventures possible are in the postofficexash box or a trip by express 300 miles to Chicago?" "Well, did somebody steal you backt" "No sir, but a farmer had a change of heart. I was present at his con fession. All I know about it is that he laid me on the table beside a big mail order catalog, and after he had looked at me and at the catalog and shaken his head many times, he wrote a letter which he read to his wife. His letter was about like this:- -"Mossdale, Mich., January 15, 1914. Gentlemen: Yours of recent date at hand, also catalogs and cir culars offering premiums for distribut ing same among my neighbors. As you say, it would be a favor to you but I doubt if it would be to my friends. I have dealt with you for some years myself, and I have receiv ed no favors. I paid for all I got; in the same length of time I would have gained standing and credit in a home, store. You: think I'm a steady comer and send me any old goods that are handy on my orders. - t, ... "Your catalog seems to offer some great bargains, but let us see if there are not some things very necessary to the people of our section that are not mentioned in your "big book. "I don't see any reference to pay ing cash or exchanging goods for wheat, oatjj corn, butter, eggs and bay. ) "How much will you pay for cattle, sheep and hogs, f. o. b. Mossdale T I "We have to have a market and we can't expect to sell to the home merchant if we buy in Chicago. "How much will you pay to sup port our schools? How much for im proving our roads and bridges? For supporting the poor? For the gen eral public expense? "Two stores and a brush factory went out of business here last sum mer, and my taxes are higher this year because those concerns are not here to share up the fixed expenses of local government and public util ities. You got your money and kept it, so they who would have given it back had to quit. "How much do you give our church es ? How much credit dp you give me when hard times come? "I think I'll trade at home a while. If the home merchant is tricky, I can have it out with him, face to face, and settle any misun derstanding in half an hour. "I have been all winter getting my money back on that last deal with you ; and now I get only a credit card which one of your clerks with studied carelessness has mislaid. "Return that amount without fur ther dickering or I shall take it out in advertising you and your methods among the folks around here. Yours truly, CARL SCHULTZ." "Today he drove down to Center ville and spent me on a bill of goods here because there isn '1 a decent groc ery left in Mossdale." firs.
