over the nations it will be found [
that each community furnishes

the local merchant. This fact

The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
in referring to the refusal of a
majority of the country weeklies
of the state to accept advertising
from the big mail order houses,
-urns the situation up as follows:1
“Sears, Roebuck & Co., a big
lail order house, whose name f
is become a household word in
merica, has been offering ad-1
ti-ing contracts to the court-
newspapers of Texas, and
contracfs have been turned

home merchant. ‘We believe

tvs One editor commenting on
,e rejected contract, ‘and we
vill not in any way aid the out-
-ide mail order house,’
All of which is commendable
but poor business policy, not j
ouly for the newspapers but for
the merchants the publisher is
trying to aid. In the first place, \
the competition of the mail order
house is not very great. Less
than 2 per cent of all sales are
made through the mail order
house, and in a city like Ft.
Worth the percentage is so small i
