If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you.
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town r
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. *
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get t'he greatest value for your dollars*
