THE LOSING SIDE OF MAIL ORDER TRADING How One Family I>ost Over $.">.600 by Not Shopping With Their Home Town Merchants (Reproduced by special request of Chamber of Commerce.) Hans Garbus, a German farmer of Iowa, has discovered that the benefits which appear on the surface as attaching to the mail order plan sometimes spell disaster and has written a very interesting story of his views in a certain farm paper. Here is a part of his story: "We farmers need awakening to the fact that we have unmistakably reached the period where we must think and plan. I am one of the slow German farmers that had to be shown and I am now giving my experience that others may profit for knowlcdg is more expensive now than ten years ago. "Twenty-nine years ago. I began mv farm career. 1 had an old team and Our furniture was mostly homemade chairs, cupboard and lounge made 1 rom dry goods hoxes, neatly covered with ten-cent cretonne hy my vrirI wife. We rented ighty acres. Heinn a boy of trend habits I got al' needed machinery and groceries of our home merchants on credit, until fall crops were sold. The first year was a wet season, and 1 did no* make enough to pay creditors. I went to each on date of promise and explained conditions, paying as much us no--ible, and they all carried the balance over another year. They continued to accommodate me until I was able to buy a forty-acre piece of niv own. "As -non. as 1 owned these few acres the mail order houses began sending me catalogues, and gradually f began sending my loose change to them, letting my accounts stand in my home town where I had gotton my accommodations when I ncedeu it. "We then hail one of the thriftiest little villages in the state?good line of business in all the branches, merchants who were willing to help an honest fellow over a had year, and a town full of people who came twice a week to trade and visit. Our little country town supported a lfbrary. High school, hall team and we had big celebrations every year. "A farm near a live town soon doubles in value. I sold my forty acres at a big advance and bought an eighty-acre farm, gradually adding to it until I had 200 acres of the best land in Iowa. I then felt. no need of asking favors, and found ic easy to patronize the mail order agents that came almost weekly to our i door. I regret to say that I was the 1 first in the country to make up a ; neighborhood hill and send it to a mail order house. Though we got hit every once in a while, we got in i the habit of sending away f?r stuff. "Gradually our merchants lessened their stock of goods?for lack of patronage. Finally we began to realize ; that when we needed a holt quickly for machinery, or clothing for sickness or death, we had to wait and : send away for it, which wasn't so pleasant. One by one our merchants moved tv places where they were up predated, and men of less energy moved in. Gradually our town has gone down; our business houses are "tacky" in appearance, a number are empty; our schools, churches aim walks are going down, we have no band, no library nor ball team. There is no business done in the town, and therefore no taxes to keep thine: up. Hotel is closed for lack of Gavel. Go down to the depot when the freight pulls in and you will see the sequel in mail order packages. "Nine years ago my farm was worth $195 an acre; today I'd have a hard matter to sell it at >51(17 an acre. It is too far from a live town ?so every farmer has said that wants to buy. He wants a place near schools and churches, where iiis children can have advantages. I have awakened to the fact that in helping to pull the town down it has cost m<$5,(500 in nine years."?The Journal of Commerce, N'-w York. Given by a Union Citizen Doan's Kidney Pills were used? they brought benefit. The story was told to Union residents. Time has strengthened the evidence Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is home testimony. The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Union residents. John W. Petty, 70 VV. Main St., Union, says: "Weak kidneys caused pains through the small of my back are! t he y were so severe at times that I couldn't sleep. My kidneys acted irregularly ann mo suci-clious wore unnatural and irregular in passago. I u ed different medicine, but didn't fret permanent r lief until I took Dean's Kidney Fills. They also helped another of my family, who was afflicted with kidney trouble." (Statement friven F> bruarv 15, 190X.) OVER SIX YEARS EATER Mr. Petty said: "I haven't noticed the slightest sign of kidney trouble < >> backache since ! used and recommended Dean's Kidney Fills. I don't know of anything b -iter for kidney ailments and backache." I'rice r?Oc, aJ all deah-rs. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy got Dean's Kidney Fills?the ame that Mr. Petty had.
