EDITORIAL TRADE AT HOME Your Attention, Please; The undersigned being in position to prove eve*y asser? tion made over his signature in his TRADE AT HOME CAMPAIGN which will continue from week to week, assumes full individual responsibility. There will be no inclination shown to create prejudice by lambasting. THE TRUTH simply told, is sufficient t .bring you to a realization of the danger which threatens, while at the same time exploding the false idea of saving. The adroitness and consummate cunning and trained in? telligence of the best advertising brains in the world are at the command of the mail-order merchants, the country is being flooded with catalogues containing their arguments which are of a nature to estrange you from your best friends?your neighbors. As we pause in doubt through the suggestions presented, the catalogue then begins to get in its work and another sucker is born for the fleecing, as no one can order from these concerns article after article without loosing from ten to thirty per cent on each dollar sent. The burden of the proof is with us, WE WILL MAKE GOOD to you from week to week through comparison of Price, Quality and Service. This work was entered into for two purposes. First, for lie opportunities which would eventually lead to greater possi? bilities and, second, should our people awaken to the great >arm we are inflicting upon ourselves through mail-order trading, the results to follow, for all, will be worth the effort.
