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

Mr. Petty had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Some men pride themselves upon
being blunt and outspoken when they
are only rude and disagreeable.
Russian soldiers pull down 25 cents
a month. .Judging from the wav
they are fighting now they'd wallop
the world if Henry Ford ever bossed
them.
