BILL BRINGS TO LIGHT THE MAIL ORDER MENACE Doetm't Hesitate to Say That Eliza!>etli City Folk* Who Do Not Buy at Home Are Disloyal MERCHANTSPAT1ENT If They Weren't a Good Matured Lot They'd Get a Bit Irritated Aliout the Matter P "The people ot Elisabeth City who patronize mall order houses Id distant cities In preference to our own stores are not very con sistent. The Inconsistency of the mall order buyer Is brought out by the Bridgeport (Conn.) News In an editorial on trading at home as follows: "If merchants and their help ers were not a pretty good natured class of people, whose rough edges have been worn away by much contact with their home folks, they would have reasons to get irritated at times. "There are some people who will send off or go to distant ci ties and make Important purchas es of clothing and honse furnish ings. Then when they find that they want some little trifling ar ticle In a hurry, they will rush down to the home store and de mand that it be supplied them In stantly, and blame the store If It does not have precisely what they want. They expect these stores to keep stocked up all the time on a wide variety of goods, yet they will not help supply the all around pa tronage which la the only baala for keeping such a general stock. "It Is a tremendous conven ience and advantage to have a fine group of retail stores In a town. 8uch estalishments furnish a com munity with sources of supply that deal all over the world. A good store supplies the comfortrf and essentials of civilisation, and It Is a wonderful benefit to have It close by where you can call on Its service at any moment, and Its supplies and it advice, ?p "But people can not expect to |f?ve the kind of stores their com munity Is entitled to on the basis of Its population and wealth, If they are constantly running off to other places to buy goods. Un less they give their patronage to their home stores, the home stores cannot Serve them efficiently. ' "K Is well itrT^member that the home storesyfend the men who own and operate them Jare a tremend -THis foMe working^ all the time to prbvtfSq tMft_ju>mmunlty with all forms [of modern equipment, to Improv^ its civic advantages and to advahca-fts prosperity. When you support them you back up and help your community." "Carrying out the same thought to the people of Northern Alabama the Anniston (Ala.) Star com ments editorially on the out of town buyer as follows. "Unfortunately many people who are In other respects loyal to their home toWn and appear eager to promote Its growth will do most of their buying away from the home town. When they have con siderable buying to do they will so to some nearby larger city and spend hundreds of dollars for goods that could have been bought in the home stores for no higher price than they have paid to the city merchant, and they make their living aftd have their home. "The mall order houses and the lure of the larger city stores are working a hardship upon the mer chants in the smaller cities of the land and are making It Increas ingly more difficult for the home |lo%n store to keep going. Yet the ?font" stores Is the one that Is ex ?eci'.'d to extend credit to those Mlli; need it despite the fact that Try frqqnntly th very people who ask for the most credit are those who have bought the most out of town. It Is unfair to the home town merchant and It Is unfair to the home towfk', for nnless a town's business thrives and Its merchants prosper the town cannot grow as It should."

Th^ wish is often the father to tbe thought |p politics and that'a why every conceivable inference la ba inK drawn from the Republic*? primary election In PennsylvaaAgu While the ? wet" and dry InM placed a part, there Is likely to be a search beyond the prohibition lf sue to find out why Representative Vare won the race. ?

But if OoTCVMfP Plnchot had withdrawn from the race and the flit h t were between Senator Pepper and Mr. Vafe. would the result have been ttog< same?

A similar invltatloa 1* In prospect for Mr. Vare. looking deeper than the aar-^ face for a meaning in the Pennayl-, vanla election the fundamental current which turned the tide ttf be found In the altitude of the big business Interests of Kaatata Pennsylvania. When Mr. Mellon^ appealed for support for ?r. Pep-t' per he was really trying to Uge up those big business organlaa Hons which had decided to caat their lot with Mr. Vare. There are various explanatloag for this. It Is hinted, for example that big business In the KeyatO^O' state has keenly felt the lack of g "yes" and "no" man sine* tbf , death of Senator Penroae. AW though Senator Pepper had a pow erful Influence in Washington^#* was not one-two-thr*e with in* state political force* In Harrlg* burg.
