QUALITY OFTEN OVERLOOKED. Instance Seen in Case of Mail Order Houses Which Make Their Appeal Solely on Basis of Price. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union). i Economy is one of the greatest of virtues, but false economy is no more a virtue than anything else that is false. To be able to economize wisely "is one of the greatest blessings that one can have, for it is the prerequisite to thrift and well-being. Too many persons, however, who think they have found the secret of true economy are practicing a false economy which is worse than wilful waste. For instance, the man who buys a stove from a'mail order house for $9 because he thinks he would have to pay $10 for one if he purchased it from his home merchant, is practicing a false economy, for the chances are that he would save more than from the local hardware leader. $1 in the end if he purchaséd the $10 stove There are several reasons why this is false economy. The first one is that dollar for dollar, the greater part of the merchandise sold by the mail order houses is of less value than that sold by the retail merchants of the smaller communities. cheapness. The mail order business, as a whole, is built upon In order to attract customers the catalogue houses must sell goods cheaply and in order to do that they must sell cheap goods, Their business is built up on price and not on quality. The retail hardware deal- probably can match the prices of the er, like retail dealers in other lines, mail order houses. who wants to get a stove for $9. trom the mail order house does not - He probably has a $9 stove which he can sell to the man The trouble is that the man who buys distinguish between price and quality. Thinks He Is Economizing. The man who buys the $9 stove from the mail order house probably would not buy a $9 stove from his local merchant for in the latter case he would see just what he was buying and might realize that the $9 stove would not meet-his needs. however, just because the that the stove will meet his needs. He orders a $9 stove from the mail order house price is $9 and not because he has any assurance He thinks he is saving a dollar or two by buying this stove instead of paying $10 or $11 to the home merchant for one that he has seen and knows will give him satisfaction, The chances are that when the stove arrives and he has used it for a short time he will realize that he has practiced false economy--that it would have been more economical in the end for him to pay a dollar or two more to his home mer- chant and get an article that was guaranteed by the dealer. The patron of the mail order house, also, often fails to take the matter of transportation charges into consideration when making his purchase. sees only the price of local store. He the article as listed in the mail order catalogue and does not think of the express or freight money order and postage often make th than the price at which the same thing charges, which with the cost of a could have been purchased at the Another case of false economy. Buying merchandise of poor, quality because the, price is low is often false économy when the purchase is made at the home'stores but it is doubly 50 when the merchandise is bought from a mail order house. When buying at home one can be reasonably sure that the article purchased at a low price, while there is no such "sight unseen" plan. assurance when it is bought by mail on the Idea Is Exploded. The idea that the mail order houses sell the same quality of goods at lower prices than the home merchants is quickly exploded when one learns of the large profits that are made by and the large the majority of the mail order h selling expense to which they are subjected. e total cost of the article greater re ------ U Buy Out of Town, and I Buy Out of FOR ALL KINDS OF MEATS See us.

MILNF, Phone 542. 2372 Bagot St, A The large mail order houses spend hundreds of thousands ofvollars annually for advertis- ing and the selling expenses of the smaller concerns are large. than those of the local retail Their other expenses, such as rent, taxes and labor, merchants, in proportion to the proportionately as are also higher business which they do. In spite of these heavy expenses, the mail 'order houses distribute millions of dollars in dividends among their stockholders. mail order concern the profits In one large of the stockholders, in cash and stock divi- dends, have aggregated as much as 1,000 per cent. on. the capital invested in the short period of nine years. This does not indicate that the mail or- der houses are in business fpr their health and are giving away merchandise to their customers. The mail order houses have capitalized the desire to economize that is inherent in almost every ona. By placing price above quality and making cheapness the fundamental _lement in their business they have inculcated in the minds of their patrons the idea that they are economizing when they buy cheap goods at cheap prices. wot Ry WITH FLOWERS 0 We su owers for any function, ~edaings. rties, etc. Special prices made Lor unerals.
