TIMELY SERMONETTE
ON HOME TRADING
(From tilt? Des Moines Publishers Re¬
view.)
A dry goods merchant was starting
down town when his wife reminded
him of his most important duty during
j
the day. ‘ Now, my daer, be sure to
send to the city for that new radio out
lit. so we can have it for Sunday. You
know our old Victrola is getting so
that it is not fit to be heard.”
And just a few blocks away the mer¬
chant who handles Yictrolas and furni¬
ture was sitting at breakfast with his
family. The conversation drifted
around to the near approach of school.
“And that reminds me, .lohn.” saii
the lady, who sat at the head of the ta¬
ble. 'I must be going to the city not
later than next week. I must get school
clothes and see about a fall suit foi
myself, and while there perhaps I had
better see about the new lace curtains
for the front window.”
An hour or two later a leading grocer
stepped into the bank to buy a draft
which he was going to send to a cata¬
logue house for a swell bedroom suite.
“How's business?” asked the bank¬
er. “Oh, not so very good,” replied the
gro< er; things are dull just now.”
Before the banker finished writing
the draft a dapper young man with a
grip stepped up and asked how every¬
thing was. The banker seemed glad to
see him. He'was a representative of a
big printing establishment in another
state. He and the banker chattel
pleasantly for a few minutes, after
w hich‘the young man inquired casually
of his friend behind the window if ,he
wanted anything. “Wei}, yes,” replied
the banker, “I believe I do. Print us
5,000 drafts, 5,000 checks and a couple
of thousand letterheads.
The young man thanked his friend
cordially and hustled out.
That night the local business men
had a meeting at the town hall to dis¬
cuss" the growth of the mail order evil.
AH the gentlemen mentioned in the
narrative delivered short talks. They
agreed that the farmers were guilty
of treason to their home merchants
when they persisted in buying their
goods from mail order -houses, and the
meeting closed.by adopting strong res¬
olutions against trading away from
home.

ATALKWITH A C0VIN6T0N MAN
Mr. S. A. Brown, Prop. Warehouse,
of 400 Emory St., Telle His
Experience.
There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the anx¬
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease We, therefore, give here an
interview with a Covington man:
“When I had trouble with my kid
neys,- my back was lame,” says Mr
Brown. “A catch seized me in my
back and when I sat down in a chair
and tried to get up, the pains were
troublesome. This bothered me at
night, as well as during the day and
I didn’t rest comfortably. I had to
get up quite frequently on account of
the weak and too free action of my
kidneys. The secretions were unnat¬
ural and contained a reddish sedi¬
ment I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and one box relieved me of the
trouble.”

GOOD DOCTRINE TO
PREACH AS WELL AS
TO PRACTICE
There is a great and truly good j
movement sweeping the land. Its claim
to greatness is justified by the fact,
that through its instrumentality and
through it can communities such
as ours hope to cope with the eommfer
cial retrogression attendant upon the
ungrateful and foolish habit some peo¬
ple have of purchasing from “mail or¬
der houses.”
Some one once said: “The sunshine
of publicity destroys the ptomaines of
fraud,” and the folly and disastrous re¬
sults of the pernicious habit will be in¬
delibly impressed upon the minds of
the people by the thinking few who
have given the question an analytical
study. Various communities have or¬
ganized Commercial Protective Associ¬
and are giving the widest pub¬
licity to the methods employed by
these mail order concerns to misrepre¬
and mislead.
The idea is a great and much needed
one, and will elicit the admiration and
the heartiest endorsement of
loyal citizen of this community.

means development, prog¬
ress, growth, expansion and individual
community betterment.
Low prices and unsatisfactory goods
hand in hand—Economy is not a
matter of buying Class B necessities.
To buy anything simply and solely be¬
cause the price is low, is tadpole econ¬
omics. Buy at home. Extravagant peo¬
ple buy elsewhere, but those who ap¬
preciate standardized trade marked ar¬
ticles of merit, and the best in quality
at a reasonable price, are the firm
friends and supporters of your own
home town.
The local merchant who spends
thousands of dollars in handling goods
of known and proven quality and
worth, is deserving of all the honors,
and the fair and honorable profits that
come to him, for he is establishing a
standard. A transaction with him . im¬
parts a feeling of absolute confidence
that is never experienced in dealing
with mail order houses. Any transac¬

Commercial progress is only a syno- j

Practice and preach co-operation and ;
and you are doing your du- j

maintain your schools, insure employ¬

your town to progress. These essentials
are only made possible by loyalty to
your home town. Buy at home and
save yourself from the stigma of dis¬
loyalty. Buying from mail order houses
is like playing solitaire and cheating.
You and yours personally get the worst
of it.
