Ho get* bis oars stack, bis neck scratched and his throat cut up, when there is just as much, just as green, and just as high and luxuriant grass right under his very hoofs. Did it ever occur to you to ask the question why he does that? There is a reason—It’s becausq-hi’s a mule. The same logic and reasoning applies to people in many communities who insist on buying their needs in some other town, from peddlers, or from mail order houses. , fe Now, do not misunderstand—this is written with only the intent of placing blame where blame is duo. Not now, nor at any other time, does this writer overlook year side of the question. There am many merchants who do not deserve your consideration— but which ones do and which ones do not? There’s no law of statute or reason that even implies that you should buy anything from any mer chant, if that merchant ia ao behind the times, or is of a disposition that he does not tell you what ho has to offer and how, invite you to buy it and give you a “reason why” you should buy it from him, in preference to' anyone else, whether that anyone else be local, in soma other town, a mail order house, or a peddler. The only way for you to be sum of those who are deserving ia to give your local merchants a chaneO to serve you. Then, if they do not do their part, that’s different. A merchant that dees not go out of his way to get what you think you want; that doe* not arrange his stars and his stock, train his help snd emato an atmosphere to please; the merchant that does not »ell you the wsy you wsnt to be sold, who continually cries about business and still does nothing to please, satisfy and serve you, when he has the chance— that merchant is not deserving. You make four own money—it is yours and you have a right to »pend it where you please, with whom you please, and for what you please, but stop and consider your condition, if the community was taken away from you. The community cm get along without you, but if the community was completely taken away from the source of your income, then what? It is a business proposition. Every time you buy something for the same or mom money, quality considered, from anyone or any place other than from your own community, it is costing you money. Everybody laughs at a male.
