The most alluring temptation to the
average housewife is the mail order
catalogue, with its beautiful illustra
tions and well-timed descriptive mat
ter, calculated to inspire the thrifty
w:tb a desire to secure something ex
ceptional and beat the high cost of
living.
But did you ever come to realize
il'ut therein lies one of the surest me
thods of loss?
In the first place the purchaser has
no ruarantee save the magnanimity of
the concern with which he or she is
acu j g. Suppose the article lacks
^>:nc little essential os to quality or
deception? Of course you may write
letter* and threaten to expose the
lu*u^ if it does not make good, but
the waste of stamps is about all that
will happen.
. Therefore if the local merchant hap
pen.- not to have just what you desire
ivia always safest to have him order
You have the reputation of a local
business concern behind the purpehaso
aihl if there is error this house will
i*rjke it good, or has the avenue
th)t>ugh which to compel proper ful
fillment.
There is hardly an article on the
market that may not be secured by
purchase direct or on order through
.Juneau business houses, ranging all
the way from an ore reduction works
to some especial piece of dress good
•.>' V 'v .*1
or novelty.
If there are articles one is accus
tomed to find, but which are not car
ried in stock , the merchant appreci
ates hairing his attention called to it,
and if it is staple or salable he will
atld it to his regular stock; if a spec
ial order he will place it where the
cost will not exceed and many timed'is
l»elow the figure of the mail order
house, because he has the organization
through which to operate and has the
usual advantage of discounts. If you
are a regular customer he had rather
not make a cent in order to accommo
datc you, because he recognizes the
advantage of pleasing customers.
Imagine purchasing some article,
finding it not what you wanted and
t shipping it back! How long do you
suppose it would take to get the ex
change or your money back? Ask
>ome of those who have tried it.
Everyone appreciates the argu
ment in favor of buying at home, but
this is not the point. It is good sound
business thrift to entrust your busi
ness to those whom you know, rather
than to a stranger. It is on the prin
cipal of square dealing that business is
builded, and the local merchant is the
proper avenue through which to not
only get what you want, but to get
what you pay for .
The itinerant agent stop* off over*
night in a city and his expenditures
are simply his hotel bill and cartage
charges. He is gone tomorrow and
your money goes with him never to
return. He neither builds sidewalks,
* |
water works* electric light plants or
provides the many necessities of mo*
den Hfe. The local business man is
r, *
the one who bears the burden' of this
improvement, sr.dtwhile out may think
they are entitled fco clip a peony off
hard mid there as *, matter of thrift
they at the same that escape their
portion of indireet taxation, ——*thfr»g
no one would wish to be charged
against them.
Cities are builded by public co-op
*
eration, and by standing by local busi
ness, one contributes his share towards
the whole. There need be no sentiment
in the matter, it's business.

You will never regret the act. There
will be no waste. Each Kiddie will be

more days left. Don't wait until the

America now uses more than twenty
times as much oil per captia as other
countrie s, and this demand has reach
ed such a point that oil now controls
money instead of money contr61ling
oil. Since we today require over 20
pei cent of the world’s output, and
v ;• less than one-eight as much oil
in the ground as the rest of the world,
.ve are demanding four times as much
oil as all the other countries of the
vorlil put together.

Preparing for one hun
dred and twenty million
meals with Karo Maple
for 1921
Last year American housewives
bought oyer five million cans of
Karo Maple. .Delicious flavor,
moderate price and wise buying
Do you know that the makers of Karo
Maple are the world's largest users of the
purest and best flavored maple «ugar?
That over a thousand tons of maple
sugar from the finest maple groves in .
Vermont and Canada are used each year
to make Karo Maple? /
Karo Maple is pure and wholesome—
its flavor is not an imitation.
- Yet th*-price iaeo moderate that you
can afford to serve it at every meal.
Try it just once, on some nice hot
waffles, or brown pancakes. Or as a
spread for bread or crisp toast.
If Karo Maple isn't the most satisfy
ing syrup you ever tasted, at the most
satisfying price you ever paid for a simi
lar syrup, return the balance of the
can and the jrocer wilt refund your
money,
