 IN. 'MAIL
ORDER TRADE
The Mail Order business is: on the in-,
crease in this Province. For the most part
Mail Order business is transacted by mail
and remittances made by money order,and
postal notes.
In 1915 $549,083.81 was sent out of
Prince Edward Island by money order and
postal order.» In 1916 it is estimated the
total reached nearly $600,000. ,
It is safe to assume the bulk of this was
for Mail Order goods. Business men re-
mit by cheque or draft, and it is mostly pri-
vate families who use the money order
system for Mail Order purchases. i
Mark what this means. The Dominion
Government pays us in subsidies about
$300,000, `and our people send all that and
another $300,000 out of the Province to
build up Toronto, Montreal, etc. ,
Is this fair to our Island merchants? Do
our merchants realize what is going
on under their very noses, while they ap-
parently slumber and display inertia?
This week a representative of a big Tor-
onto Mail Order House was in the city.
What was he doing? He was not here for
his health exactly. _ "1 _
Let u's tell you a little about the Mail
Order enterprise. = »
Toronto; Mail Order businesses three
years ago, tried to get into the columns
of The Guardian. Big money, enormous
money, was offered for a yearly contract.
The offer was turned down.
Did the Mail Order houses give up? No.
Read the following statement recently
made by the manager of a large Mail Or-
der concern:
“\\'c have :i iiiircaiu \\'iio:»c iluty it is io rczitl

What is happening in Prince Edward
Island? v
Three years ago, not more than 1200
catalogues of one Mail Order firm were
distributed in the Povince. Now over 10,-
000 are distributed annually, and a repre-
sentative is specially, sent to the Province
to supervise the mailing of these in the
most economical manner, viz., within 20
mile areas, the summer and winter cata-
logues coming in bulk by express.
This one Mail Order house spends over
$2,000 per annum in postage alone for the
distribution of its catalogues in the Island.
The catalogues cost $2500 to $3,000, 01°
$5,000 per annum to advertise one Toronto
iirm’s goods iii Prince Edward Island, and
for this they must scoop in about $300,000
or $400,000 of Prince Edward Island mo-
ne
y.
Isii’t that trade worth fighting for? Isn’t
it a shame that indif’fe1‘ence of our mer-
chants should allow some half a million doi-
lars to go to outside merchants annually,
without an edort to ptievent it?
What are the merchants going to -do in
the matter? Take it lying down, because
“advertising doesn’t pay?" .
Look the facts straight in the face and
then answcrwhethcr it is the buyers, the
Mail Order Houses, or the local merchants
who are to blame for this intollerable state
of affairs. i
One ounce of effective business fore-
thought is worth teii million tons of vain
regrets. -
