*
THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.
Approximately one hundred thous
and copies of a mail order catalogue
was 1 sent into 1 Georgia just byfore
the fall season this Year bidding for
the trade of_the people of this state.
The postage on these catalogues
amounted to near five thousand dol
lars. These catlogue people must be
making money or they would not
continue ft> send out these volumi
nous books.
The only way our local merchants
can counteract the work of these
mail order houses is to talk to them
through their local paper. In dis
cussing this question, the Savannah
Morning News says:'
Would the local dealer counteract
this pernicious influence. Then, the
astute men who put out the mail or
der catalogue have shown him the
way: Advertise. Tell the people the
truth. Frankly, lay your prices be
fore them. Invite them, through
your local pap<yv—for, jwlule there
are many ways of advertising, the
newspaper is the standard, and the
man who uses any 1 other medium to
the • neglect of • that missed
his; best opportunity— fto bring their
catalogue with theni'Hq your f §tote,
and then show them thsit y'ou have a
betterrfacicle at a che&p£r price. Or,
if you ddi’ not care do, this, ibid pl
enty and-directly fof’their trade, just
as kite mail order’house! bids stir "it:
'*f , _
YoU.inay think that you are id well
kno , 4?t , ’fhat it -ft a6t worth while to
advertise. iJuf the mail order house,
beter known than you, doesn’t labor
undW that delusion. It spends hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in ad
vertising every "yeas, and declares
dividends as- a result. And don’t be
lieve that these houses do not use
newspapers; that is their best choice.
If their advertisement does not ap
pear in your local paper, it is prob
able that papier doesn’t want it.
; Perhaps you know that you have
cheaper and, better gbods on your
.than the mail order houses
fecj: I?ut the buyer doesn’t know
it. Try a dose of liberal local ad
vertising counteract the mail or-,
menace. It is informing -that
mail order houses do the least busi
ness—population considered—in com
tnunitYes "where retail firms are lib
eral advertisers! 1 1 ■
$ Don’t abuse , those who have the
mail order habit; they are only mis
taken. Show them where they are
wrong. And the local newspaper of
fers the best medium through which
to show them.
