REMAINS COMING .HOME.-- The

remains of the 'lute Louis C. Robert- son, who died in London, Out., left that city yesterday for _ the Island. The funera-l of which notice' will be given later, will take place from the residence of Mr. H. A. Robertson, Alexandria. nephew of the deceased. Mr. Robertson, who was 75 years of age, and at the time of his death engineer for the London Foundry Co., was born in Pownal, P. E. I. He left the island 36 years ago, Prior to that he was captain of the -steamer Heather Beld. Three of his brothers, none of whom survive him, were also sen. captains.

MARY PICKFORD W|NS.- The

Brooklyn. Eagle’s big contest to do- cide the most popular actor or ac- tress in moving pictures today, has just been' finished, and was won. by Miss Mary Pickford, who headed the list with over 37,000 votes.; 'Phd Eagle says' that the surprise of the contest was the poor` showing made by_Char1ie Chaplain, who received only seven thousand votes_. Chaplain’s poor showing, says _the Engle", is at- tributed to his questionable methods of trying to amuse, and declares that the public are getting tired of the "rough stuff.”

McKenzie, of St. Luke's church, Montreal, has been extended a hearty, and unanimous call to the congrega- tion ot Brookfield, Hansville and Hunter River P. E. il.)

A unique' feature of the pres- ent call is that it comes t`i'ofin the con- gregation in which he was born and lireil.

TRICKS OF MAIL ORDER

- TRADE

_ “How can the Guardian make out that it is cheaper to buy at home when we have the facts before us? We are clubbing to- gether to send $10.00 from our boarding house to get a parcel from a mail order house, and we find we can get cotton thread at l2c, whereas we haveto pay 18c here. What do you make of that?" _

This is a sample of the criticism our last

week’s articles brought out, and on, the surface it seems unansvverable. But is ii:?.

Let us see.

We admit at once that there are certain

lines prominently advertised by the mail order houses considerably below the cost of production, or what it would pay to

handle at a profit. '

But these are merely the little sprats

dangled temptingly to catch the whale.

If the iriail purchaser could merely send

for these sprats, he, or she, would be con- siderably in pocket provided the freight were paid. ,

But the freight is not paid, unless an or-

der of $10.00 or over is sent.

This means one -of two things. The pur-

chaser must buy something he probably does not want, to make up the order, - which is extravagance and waste, or go hunting round to get somebody to join with him in making up

the order.

In the lattercase he is acting as the un-

paid traveller _or agent of the Mail Order House. If a local merchant were to offer* him 10 or 15 per cent. commission to turn in similar cash business he would probably turn up his nose at it..

Is that not so ? Next time you think of sending $10 or

$40 or $50 or $100 to a Mail Order House for a joint order collected from your neigh- bors, calculate what your services are worth, and then ask what commission the local merchants would allow you on the same cash order. _

If the local merchant cannot offer you

equal or better terms then by all means send your money out of the province.

Just two examples of the whole theory

which may be verified:

An Islander' bought a belt from a Mail

Order House, for which he paid 98c and thought he had made a bargain. He show- edit to a friend and asked him what it was worth.

“Fifty cents,” said his friend. ‘f ‘ “Nonsensel” "' ` ` " “No, see I paid fifty cents for my one,”-

and showed him an identical belt he was wearing.

The Islander was skeptical, but his friend

took him to the shop where he made the purchase, and satisfied him that he had paid 48 cents too much for his bargain.. »

Again: A lady writes,-“I would not

have believed that ~ (mentioning a mail order house) could over-charge un# til I had personal experience. I got my undervests from them regularly until one day I happened to be in a store and priced some, and would you believe it, they were from fifteen to twenty cents cheaper, and

- (mentioning mail order house),

would make poor seconds.”

The Guardian is prepared to subst`anti-

ate both these instances. ` _

Now, dont’ you see how it pays the Mail

Order House to advertise below cost one or

two conspicuous lines in every-day use?i

Give the Local Merchants 50 per cent.

of the $600,000 which you send awa , and it will come backto you a hundred foId I ,J
