The members of the Ration Is doing some very practical advertising. The purpose of this advertising is not to induce new families to mora to Mart or to set.&m^ | Tories or new business firms to locate hers, hut to persuade the people already living in Mart to support the business firms we now have by giving J them all their trade. "For years the mall order houses of the United States hare been poison-' ins the minds of the people against their local merchants. Through their catalogues sad by advertisements in the msgastess and especially through the farm journals, they have Insinuated to the consumers that their local I merchants were robbing them. The1 IfesX men;h*a|* have made so.tow sad feeble replies and allowed tbeed lastsistlnss to go unchallenged so long, that today a Ihrge per cent of the rwww of both lbs towns and merchant makes an ezorbtant nrofit S|d sang goods much higher than do tbs mall order hoaseo sad the city merchants. The taet that the local merchant knows these Insinuations to bo false doss not affect the results. For as loag as the consumer believes them tree that loag be Is rare to Spend much of bid ready cash away from home, buying snob things from the local merchant as he wants cm credit or he must have at onoe. Mart is a small town?t.989 by the 1910 census. Her people have quick, eaay access to nearby cities and of course the svbr persistant mail order advertiser reaches every inhabitant of town and oountry. Her local retail' artds amounts to about fl,BOO.OOfr annually. How much "this Would be Increased 'iff all of her people did all their trading at home candot bo actually determined..
