Safes Found Near Burglary Scene
The post offices at Mershon and Bristol in Pierce
county were entered Tuesday night by thieves, who re
moved two steel safes weighing several hundred pounds
each.
The safes, both broken open
and emtied, were found about
9:30 A. M. Wednesday by Sheriff
L. L. Taylor and GBI Agent J. L.
Dixon on Crooked Creek between
Mershon and Bristol, about 1%
miles east of Mershon.
The officers tracked the vehi
cle on which the safes had been
loaded off a woods road to a
point where the safes had been
broken open. Contents of the
safes were distributed about the
scene. Most of the stamps, money
orders, were found, along with
a few scattered pennies and nic
kels, and other post office re
cords.

Mail Order Shopping
Hurts Local Business
Thousands of dollars every week are being drained
away from local stores by mail order houses in distant
cities. I
The worst competitor of the
small town merchant is not the
merchant down the street. His
main competition is likely to be
one or two of the large mail or
der firms, followed closely by
the big stores of a nearby city.
This is the opinion expressed
in a bulletin of the Louisiana
Press Association issued recently
to aid its member newspapers in
campaigning to keep these mail
order dollars at home.
The amount drained from local
trade by mail order houses will
startle anyone who takes the
trouble to investigate the situa
tion, the bulletin said. It will
run into six figures in even the
very small community. In larger
areas, it will exceed a million
dollars a year.
Not “For Free’
Mail order houses do not get
the benefit of this spending “for
free.” They pay heavily to en
tice this local trade away from
local merchants — more than
most merchants or mail order
shoppers would think.
The two largest mail order
firms send out two catalogs a
year, one for summer and one
for winter. It is estimated that
each semi-annual book costs at
least $5, or $lO a year — plus
the cost of catalogs and advertis
ing for special sales events.
Considering the catalogs and
pamphlets of several mail or
der houses in many fields of
merchandising, the amount spent
by firms in distant cities to lure
local mail order business proba
bly runs from $20,000 to $30,000
a year.
Local people who shop by
mail can be sure that a portion
of this expenditure is included
in the purchase price of every
article.
Not Full Price
More and more consumers are
becoming aware of the fact that
the catalog price of any article
is not the full cost of obtaining
the article. The real mail order
price is the catalog price, plus
postage, plus shipping charges,
plus a possible money order fee
or bank check charge — plus a
wait for the merchandise and
the possibility of receiving the
wrong item.
More important, in trading
with home merchants, is the fact
that dollars spent at home remain
in circulation at home and even
tually come back to the spender
in increased local prosperity.
When driving, watch out
for speed too fast for con
ditions.
Wool and Lamb
Promotion Plan
Is Announced
A more effective promotion
program for wool and lambs has
been announced by John F. Brad
ley, state administrative officer of
the Agricultural Stablization and
Conservation committee.
The program was announced
in Georgia and other states after
72 percent of the nation’s sheep
producers approved it in a refer
endum last month.
The agreement which was ap
proved for deductions from pay
ments under the Wool Incentive
Program to finance a program of
advertising, promotion, and re
lated market development activi
ties.
Bradley said deductions from
1955 incentive payments to be
made in the summer of 1956 will
amount to one cent per pound
from payments on shorn wool
and five cents per hundred lbs.
of live weight from payments on
lambs and yearlings.
The ASC administrative officer
said the outcome of the referen
dum last month was based on the
number of sheep owned by eli
gible producers voting. “How
ever,” Brandley continued, “there
was a close correlation between
the number of producers voting
and the vote on the basis of
sheep numbers.” He said the fi
nal tabulation for the nation
showed that producers owning 72
percent of the sheep favored the
program, while 71.3 percent of
the eligible producers voting fa
vored the program.
