DeBLOlS. "BUY AT HOME." Sin-Some one writing under ab assumed name and signing himsel. “l-Lcononly" iii your paper oi Nov. 19th.. makes the astounding state ment that by patronizing mull or- der houses they can save at least from 20 to 25 per cent. on thcll purchases. Anyone who is at all familiar with catalogue prices ant. methods knows that this is abso- lutely incorrect. it is the» aim 0i every periodical of this kind ti. set out a few snaps at reducer. prices in u way to detract iron: other lines not so well known. It is also a well known fact that tho average buyer will purchase his goods as cheaply at home as iii any part of the Dominion. l-le al so makes a statement that thc merchants themselves send away for their goods, this is absolutely true, if the consumer could buy direct or from the manufacture: as the merchants do his arguments would be well founded. it is known that all merchant. purchase their goods at a SOHIL’: l'rom which it is not possible io the consumer to buy from, for ii: stance if it were at all possible i! distribute the merchandise and eli- minate the mail order houses anl the retailers which are one in th. chain of distribution, and that the consumer could huy direct iron the manufacturer at the same prict as the merchants do. his argument would then have some weight. All through the ages many other methods of retailing have been tried and have failed In almost every instance. Mail order house-i are retailers in the same sense as our own local merchants. Do not get away with the Idea that when you are sending to mnll order houses that you are buying your - merchandise at the name price m. the merchants can buy. our mer chants have access to the Rfliflf‘ factories as the mail order houses both at home and abroad. and ari- keen buyers who are always on the alert to get the closest pos-l slble prices. He claims that by- iiondlng our money away that tho country would he better off, thr- opposlie is the case, for instance when you send your money away to mall order houses the province hns the goods and the mail order houses have the money and by buying at home we have the goods, and the money is here in circula- tion In our own province. One Mr. Hughes who claims to be well informed In business met- hods has enlightened the public on matters of retailing, no don-ht he is well qualified.

Capt. Read of the Carferry has a letter in the Guardian Nov. 21st ind makes the following state- -nent, that the mall order houses ran afford to sell their customers cheaper on account of a big tiirn- over.
