This business has grown by leaps and (rounds. Why? Befttuse the local merchant d'tea not keep pace with the increasing demands of an increasing population. The tive big mail order h mses of Chicago receive on an average of 250,000 orders a day. And this enormous business comes from com­ munities whose natural trad«* l>elongs to the local mer­ chant. The local merchant must make more effort to hold his business anil get new business or the big con­ cerns will make greater in­ roads. He must beat the mail order houses at ti eir own game. He can do this by handling honest goods at honest prices and telling about the goods in such a way people will believe him. Fault finding or appealing to local pride is of no avail. It is the careful, system­ atic, elaborate and half­ truthful description in mail order advertising that has built up the big mail order business. If the local mer­ chant will be careful, sys­ tematic, elaborate and truth­ ful in all his local advertis­ ing he will win. The adver­ tiser who is truthful will in the er.d get the business. The public can never know w hat u merchant has to sell unless he tells about it. Tiler« is no better friend of the merchant and no better means of publicity than the local paper. Every merchant w ho carries on a systematic advertising campaign in hrs local paper, properly and honestly describing what he has for sale, will find his business in no way affected by mail order competition.
