WHY CONSUMERS SHOULD PATRONIZE HOME
A physician received a letter from Sears Roebuck & Co.
the large Chicago mail order house. It was a well writ
ten appeal and closed by saying, "If there is any reason
why you do not buy from us, please give your reasons in
the inclosed stamped envelope, and we will strive to re
move the cause." The physician answered as follows.
"Your letter of recent date asking why I had not traded
with you for a long time, received, and as you ask me to
tell you frankly why, I will give you a few REASONS.
FIRST: I am in business in this community and am
looking to this community with its varied industries, for
my support. I cannot ask the merchants of this town for
their support if I do not give them mine.
SECOND: In looking over my books I fail to find
either Mr. Sears, Mr. Roebuck or any of the company's
names, which reminds me that none of these gentlemen
have ever given me a penny's patronage. Why is this?
Am I too far away, or have neither of them needed a
physician, or are they afraid of the mail order plan when
n comes to the practice of medicine? I can certain! Sne
as good satisfaction by mail as your house can, and 1 will
appreciate a call from any of your firm when in need of
medical service.
THIRD: In looking over the subscription lists for im
proving our streets and public highways, I have failed to
find the name of either member of your firm down for
one penny to assist in the work. Also I have failed to
find your name on any of the charity lists where help has
been rendered to our poor; in other words, you are not
down as contributors 'o our Helping Hand Society. In
fact in all movements for the betterment of our conditions
where our community has need of the united efforts of
her public-spirited citizens, I have failed to find your
name among the list of our contributors. Your name is
not in our city tax books, nor do I find where you have
paid city license to do a mercantile business in competi
tion with our home merchants.
These are a few answers to your questions, and I trust
that you will see the justice of them.
