This is the time of year that the Chi­ cago mail order houses are working overtime in flooding the surrounding country with their annual catalogues. These catalogues at this time are going out by the car loads, and we dare say that this locality has not been forgotten by these' 'generous" Chicago merchants. The Plaindealer wishes at this time to remind its readers that too much confi­ dence should not be placed in these big fellows. Thru various courts it has been found that these large concerns do not always do business "on the square," in fact, it has been proven beyond the least possible doubt that they are "crooked." Misrepresentation of their goods to their customers via the cata­ logue route is one of their chief traits. The Plaindealer has just recently shown its readers where one house was found guilty of misrepresenting its gasoline engines. This is only one of the numer­ ous charges brought against mail order houses where they were found guilty of crookedness. Those of our readers who were for­ tunate (or should we say unfortunate?) enough to receive one or more of these catalogues will, no doubt, look over the hundreds of pages very carefully in search of bargains. The thousands of quotations at first glance appeal to the average reader. So much so that "a trial order" soon finds its way to the hands of the millionaire owners of the big establishments. Often times these orders run into many dollars. In this way the country people are assisting the big fellows to heap up the millions and preventing the smaller merchant from making even a comfortable living. This, we say, is anything but fair. Let every one of The Plaindealer read­ ers who has received one of these cata­ logues give the home dealers the first chance. The home dealer is the man who should get this money, as it is he who is called upon to assist every cause that comes up for the betterment of the community in which he resides. Here in McHenry there isn't a bust ness man who is not willing to do this, but in return he asks to be given some consideration when anything in his line is wanted. Our advice to those who have been in the habit of patronising mail order houses is this: When you receive a cat- alogue go over its pages with the great­ est care possible. Look up the things that you wish to purchase, mark theiu and then jot down the quoted prices. Go to your home merchant, tell him what you want and if he doesn't meet the mail order house prices (quality of goods considered) or in many cases go 'am one better, bring the catalogue to as and we will eat it. That is just exactly how much confi­ dence we placd in McHenry's business men and heartily believe that every other fair minded person should have in his home dealers. Again we say. Give the horn* merchant Arst chance at your trade, then if you are satisfied that you can do better in Chicago, go thers. Re­ member, however, the home merchant first, by all means. A Dsar Dish. "Learning by experience In New Tork Is expensive business,** said an out of town man. "Last night a les­ son cost me just $8.50 and was cheap at that. You see, I had a little dinner for a few friends in a private room at one of the best restaurants. Every­ thing was just right, and I was mighty well pleased. One thing was especial­ ly pretty, and that was the dish of spun sugar in which the fruit was served. It had all sorts of little flowers and bowknots sticking out from It, and every one of the crowd broke off a piece to nibble on. When I went to pay the bill one item surprised me. 'Bight dollars and a half for a dish' was something I didn't understand. What's it for?" I asked, pointing to this item. And It was then and there explained to me that a dish of spun sugar was Just as much the property of the establishment as one of cut glass or silver, and any damages must be paid for. It was all right enough, but it was new to me."--New Tork Overplayed HI* Hand. "Sir," began the bumptious appli­ cant tor a job, "I hare been told that you are looking for a clerk." "So I am," answered the man at the desk. "I suppose you want ar person who neither smokes, drinks nor swears and never engages in games of chance; one whose character Is the best; one who Is honest, Industrious and thoroughly capable; one who will stop at nothing, consistent with his principles, to fur­ ther the interests of his employer. In short, a brisk, intelligent all around man who knows business from A to Z and will never be caught napping? If SO, I am the individual you are look­ ing for." "You will pardon my diffidence, I hope," said the man at the desk. "If you are half as competent as you claim to be I feel myself unworthy of becoming your boss.
