THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES AND
THE 1'ALL TRADE
These days when the products of
the summer’s activities are be ini.
marketed and the holidays are ap
proaching constitute the harvest
time of the mail order houses. They
are out after the fall trade this year
stronger than ever, if we are tc
judge by the lavishness of their ad
vertising. There is scarcely an in
coming mail that does not bring
The Eagle orders for advertising
from mail order houses, frequently
accompanied by cash, and scarcelj
an outgoing mail that does not
take the orders and cash back agair
for all the advertising is prompltj
refused.
Appropos of all this, the current
I icific Coast Bulletin, published by
♦.he Pacific Coast Coal company
contains “The Ten Commandmenu
of the Mail Order House,” which if
worth reading. It is here reproduced
