THE MAIL ORDER OCTOPUS, i
Hints and echoes of the vast
ness of the mail order business
of the country are frequently
heard, but definite figures are
always lacking. For the first
time in some years figures have
been disclosed concerning the
mailings of the largest Chicago
mail order house. This concern,
which is by no means the only
mail order concern in Chicago,
began to mail its spring catalogs
on Marell 15, and that mail was
as much greater than the mailing
of any ordinary concern as a
skyscraper is bigger than a log
hut.
Six million catalogs weighing
two ounces each were shipped.
The total weight was 450 tons. It
required mail sacks alone to the
extent of sixty-five tons to hold
them. If they had been forward
ed in one lot, thirty lull length
ears would have been required.
However, four-fifths of the sacks
required no handling except to
put them off the train at their
proper place. This mailing broke
not only all Chicago postoffice
. records, and they are something
to break, but broke also most oth
er post office records in the eoun
. try, it is claimed. Recently the
same firm mailed in one lot 3,-
8(MI,000 catalogs, or 265 tons.
This mailing is that oi one
. Chicago mail order house. It
i does not include the enormous
1 mailings of the other mail order
concerns, which in the aggregate
1 are much greater than those of
the largest concern's figures. A
e ! prominent advertising man recent
ilv estimated from pretty accurate
‘knowledge that each year sllO.
; 000,000 worth of merchandise was
- ■ bought from Chicago concerns by
g I mail. On a very conservative e
-jtimate of the number of people
I. who buy this merchandise the fig
lures reach 2.200.000 families.
The amount of business done
iby mail order houses can be
giiaged by the fact that the great
j est of mail order houses alone
docs about $6,000,000 worth of
, r business per month. Their eat
alogue is 1.400 or 1.500 pages in

During the spring every one would
be benefited by taking Eoley’s Kidney-
Remedy. It furnishes a needed tonic
to the kidneys after the extra strain of
winter, and it purifies the blood by
stimulating the kidneys, and causing
them to eleminate the imuprities from
, it. Foley’s Kidney Remedy imparts
new life and vigor. Pleasant to take

Object to Strong Medicines.
Many people object to taking the
i strong medicies usually prescribed by
. physicians for rheumatism. There is
, no need of internal treatment in any

tism, and more than nine out of every
1 ten cases of the disease »re of one or

there is no fever and little (if any)
swelling, you may know that it is only
