I feel that to have a satisfacto-
ry trade with our customers, we
can not have too good an under-
standing along the lines of gen
eral conditions: and we wish you
to understand our position so far
as the catalogue houses are con
cerned.
I appreciate ttie fact that the
reason the catalogue business
has increased is principally be-
cause a small dealer does not
have the trade to justify his
carrying a great ass irtment of
articles for which there is com-
paratively little trade and the
j centrally located concerns having
so much more territory to draw
from are in a position to sell
much more of this class of goods.
By making low prices on staple
articles, they have, by continued
suggestion implanted in the gen-
eral mind the idea that they sell
all goods on this basis, which to
one familiar with the facts is ab
surd. The law of suggestion is
to most of us little known, but by
studying any up-to-date cata-
logue of the modern catalogue
houses we lind this a matter to
property by having good sto-.-ks
of merchandise in your midst.
A farm near Chicago is worth
more than a farm near Oklahoma

as modern civilzation calls for.
If we do business on the low
margin of profit now necessary,
it is not right for customers to
abuse the credit we are all glad
to extend, but you should help
the merchant, town and yourself
by spending your cash at home
and not waiting until the end of
the year or next year t,o furnish
your dealer with the necessary
cash to do business.
Now, we are in business to
make a living for ourselves and
families and to provide against
want in old age by laying aside
a small surplus for old age. That
have given us. The last year
has proved very satisfactory.
So far we have adhered to a
one price business on imple-
ments and vehicles, giving a un-
iform discount for cash. We
figure the profit we must have on
every article, neither ask more
nor take less. I will in the
future continue to handle the
John Deere line, as we think
this the best line on the market,
and the best is the cheapest.

our treatment or methods, your

years they have suggested on

To show how foolish this is,
cheap nien’s profit as they claim, how
are we as intelligent mortals to
figure out that in a decade they
have grown from small beginning
to the size of Sears, Roebuck &
Company, for instance, who we
understand, have recently incor
porated for $40,000,000
Now they certainly cannot de-
clare a dividend and pay the
expense of transacting such a
business without a profit. If
you will for a moment stop and

promptly rectified and anything
one of our regular men says we
will construe as binding on the

strictly to the truth.
Hoping that you will read this
through carefully and then re-

exact meaning, and thanking you
for your time and attention, I
beg to remain,
