You have known them for a number of years. know them as being honorable and upright in every dealing you have had with them Knowing them in this way, are you willing to go to their stores and pay to them money for merchandise of which they can show you only a picture, and for which you must wait from one week to a month after they have received your money? Of course you are not. But you are doing that very same thing with people you do not know when you send your money to the mail-order houses of the cities. You have only a picture or a brief description of an article from which to determine its value.

After you have sent your money you must trust to the intelligence of a poorly paid boy or girl to send you in return the merchandise you want. The people of this community who persist in dealing with the mail-order houses are doing both themselves and this town an injustice.
