THE MAIL ORDER TRUST.
So silently and insideouslv that the
great public is as yet almost uuaware
of its presence, a new trust is extend
ing its tentacles out over the country.
It is the mail order trust. Already its
strangling grip is tightening about the
million small town and country mer
chants who are the backbone of na-j
<
tional prosperity.
The mail order trust has capitalized ;
woman and child labor. It has capi-j
talized prison labor. It has capitalized j
misfortune. It hrs capitalized vice. It
has turned all these things into dollars
—dollars which should have found their
way into the tills of tne country mer-;
chant, instead of flowing into the trusts
Wall street hoard.
One mail order house recently in
creased its capital stock from $500,000;
to 140,000,000. A new $10,000,000 mer- j
get* of mail older houses lias been |
formed. \\ all street financiers includ-'
ing the Morgan banking firm, has had;
charge of both these financial opera-j
tions. Still another mail order house j
with 03 acres of floor space made a net |
profit of *17.000,000 last year.
The small merchant is the prop of j
distributed prosperity, and the growth 1
of the mail order trust serves no com
mon good. Here is a principle which
works out: “If you speud your money
where you get it, you will be able to
get it where you spend it.”

^Aeroplane flying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. 11 tilts
at all angles. Often it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
r unsatisfactory experiences with all
-the watches they tried in Europe
and America—until they adopted
the HOWARD.
The HOWARD WatcK is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest sendee. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
t The price of the HOWARD is fixed
_£40 to $ 150—and a printed price-ticket
attached.
^ We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you, jg~ * *
