THINK THIS OVER
NUMBER, T1I111;,1:
Aa elc,tieing story is told of a wealthy
nzannfaeturer of ono of the smaller
cities of Ontario, who tirade a trip. to
Germany to be treated at soma famous
aprange there for rheumatism. The
water of this spring, judiciously ep-
1)lied, externally and internally, were
supposed to be epeciao for his com-
plaint.
La the course of a conversation with
the physician in oharge of the sani-
tarium, he netted if there wee no place
sipsin the world where such wander -
fully curative waters were to he obtain-
ed. The physician assured him that
thslae woe only ono other piece in the
world with water as good as and similar
to theirs but that was away off in
Canada, in a little place called Preston
° Springs As Preston is but a few miles
from the mannfceturer's home, he had
travelled five thdlisaud miles for some-
thing he could have obtained at home,
Ther a is a moral in that story for
r o to resideate of Wingbam. They
So or arid to some of the large cities to
supply their needs in wearablea and
eatables, when they could obtain exact-
ly the same articles at the same or even
aM better rate at home. A little observa-
tion, assisted by reference to our ad-.
irertiaing columns, will show that the
Very best quality in all kinds of mer-
eliondise In sold in Wingham at rates
which compare favorably with those
given by mail order houses in Toronto
or Montreal. It is only reasonable
that it should be so when we consider
that our Wingham merchants do not
have to bear the same burden of taxation
or general expense that the large pity
stores have.
Sometimes we see the mote in our
neighbor'o eye in spite of the very large
beam in our own. Have not all of us,
at one time or another, been just as
foolish as the manufacturer we men-
tioned?
We know of an experience of a friend
et cure which is just as much to the
point. He wanted a certain book, and
as he prided himself on his erudition, he
did not suppose anyone in Wingbam
would have ever called for the book,
and that there would be no prospect of
obtaining it locally. Consequently he
sent out of town for the book, without
even enquiring if the local dealers had
It, He paid $2,25, the publisher's price,
plus postage, and when the book was
received he found it had been damaged
aomewhat in transit. Shortly after he
saw the book in a looai store, and
learned that the pride was $2.25, the
same as the out-of-town price, but he
was out the postage and hada damaged
Dopy. He ilea learned that eeveral
copies had been purchased here by peo-
ple whom he knew. He should have at
least given the local dealer a chance to
get it for him.
The moral of all this is that though
distant fields may look green, a closer
inspection will reveal the fact that they
are just about the same color, and con -
taro perhaps fewer wheat heads to the
acre, than the field close at hand, with
the disadvantage of being harder to get
at, Let us look at home before jumping
to conclusions that we can do better
elsewhere. It would result to the ad-
vantage of all concerned, the buyer,
the caller and the town in general.
