"But people should be loyal to their

"Very true, but thla argument has

so Is to seek charity, not business.
Even charity covers no such sins. Now
honestly, do you expect patronage

"What grounds, then, should I take
In asking patronage?"
"Put it thus: 'You buy where you
can buy the cheapest, and I will do
the same. Remember, when making
comparisons with catalogue prices, to
add nomethlnK for transportation, the
delay, the trouble and expense of order

the goods equally as low, considering
these advantages, buy of me, because
it will help to build up the town. That

catalogue houses owe their growth?"
"I must confess it Is good ad

"Yes: their whole existence Is due
to it. They cannot live without it. They
are unnatural institutions, could never
have started if local merchants had
realized the possibilities of advertis
ing. But it is not too late to use
against them this very instrument
that has been their making. And that
is the only successful way to combat
the mail order evil advertise."
