learned that every spring and fall acton and vicinity are flooded with thousands of copies of catalogues for the big mail order houses of the cities with a view to presenting to the community facts and figures emphasizing the inequity and often unprofitableness of the mail order scheme the free press is entering into a campaign with our leading merchants manufacturers and business men of acton in which a series of wholesome articles appealing for loyalty to the home town will be presented there are a thousand good reasons why you should buy every possible article of goods from your home merchants while there is not one good reason why you should sacrifice your home interests to build up a part of the country thaj has absolutely no interest in you apart from the cabh it is able to extract from your pocket no constant patron of a big city catalogue btore escapes being sometimes dis appointed in one way or another and it is a peculiar paradox of human nature that people will
