MAIL ORDER BUYING.
There is no doubt but what several
sacks of general merchandise cata-
logs have been handled by the local
post office during the last week, each
catalog addressed plainly to numer-
ous of our local citizens and to people
living in this immediate vicinity, no-
llcting the trade of the people of this
community by the apparently low
prices quoted on the thousands of ar-
ticles Illustrated.
We want to say Just a word to Mr.
and Mrs Catalog Shopper.
Can you truthfully say that you
have ever been perfectly pleasd by
shopping done through a catalog?
Did you ever walk into a shoe store
and tell the clerk the size shoe you
wear and when he took down a pair
from the shelf say to him “wrap 'em
up—they’re all right'* without looking
at them or trying them on? We don't
think you ever did that. Now did
you? However, that is just what you
do when you buy through a catalog.
Nine times out of ten tbe article is
sent back—too large or too small—or
the quality of the goods is not what

expected from
glowing
scrip* "iven In the catalog.
You spent a half hour looking for
what you wanted In the catalog, an-
other half hour filling out the order
blank, and then wait ten days or two
weeks before you get the goods—open
tiid examine wbat you have ordered—
and the chances are 99 to 1 that you
are not satisfied, or you have it ex-
changed for something else. You
wait two mort weeks more, and may-
be It is a little better fit or quality,
but it is still not what you want.
This is a loss of time and money to
say nothing of the postage and sta-

17aloes tbe mall under houses get
big returns and an occassional order
from their many prospects they dis-
continue sending them a catalog. But
tbe merchants of Wewoka have been
hem for yearn ready to serve yon,
they help pay taxes that assist in ed-
ucating your children. In building your
roads and bridges. In beeping order In
tbe county, and buy your produce
from you—perhaps not all of them
drectly but indirectly they buy part
of everything you have to sell. You
don’t sell much of your products to
the mall order bouses, now. do you?
Therefore it is Reasonable to assume
that tbe thousands of dollars that are
going out of Wewoka each month to
tbe mail order houses should remain
hem and rightfully belongs to the lo-
cal merchants.
Now then! You and your family
live here. You make your living here,
send your children to the schools of
the county and city over the roads
that the merchants of the county and
city help to build, but you are send-
ing your earnings out of the county
to help educate the children of Chi-
cago and Dallas and other mail order
centers. That’s why they are able to
have. better schools than we have
hem. The money that should go to
help educate your children Is going
to make for better schools for the fail
order cities.
Do you think this is fair? If every-
body should send out of town or go
elsewhere to buy everything they
need what would be the need of hav-
ing a store In Wewoka? The truth is |
that there wouldn't be—neither would
you.
A movement to buy in Wewoka Is
certainly in order. The merchants of
the city are well supplied with goods
that will please you. They are here
to serve you. If you dcnTt find what
you want, there is not a merchant in
the town but wbat will get it for you.
There is no need of going out of town
to do your shopping. The merchants
have ^Just as good merchandise as the
larger cities, and you ewe it to yourself
to buy at borne If you are going to
e
live here.
This great American cuotom baa never loot its intsmst and, we bags, never
will. There it no form of amusement that is happier, healthier, er mars
friendly and sociable than the gbed old-fashtened picnic.
When you think of a picnic, your thoughts Just naturally turn to tin cups,
tin spoon* camping knivas and forks, lunch baskets, palls, ieo-cr«
fishing taekle, guns and ammunition, baas halls and bats, awing
mocks, and a number of other things that are to be found In Any first class
hardware store. So you aoo how eloooly our buolnood is associated with that

but like some other things that have

his sphere is limited. As we view the

alarming. Rabies are prevalent la
many localities, and if the disease

no way of determining just bow se-
