how the mail order besieese will finally
affect laced oouditions. They were per -
featly sero that they were ,riving better
value for the money of the residents of
heir town than genic bo obtained from
the Chicago catalogue houses, particn
laxly when the cost of freight and post
ago was included in Use cost; bat the
camber of express l peels constantly
arriving proved that tho mail order
hQung were gettiret considerable busi-
.neBs Prem peons who would not take
the trouble to thoroughly investigate
the matter.
They took steps to learn the n:amea of
the patrons of the catellMrs.

had purohased a sewing machine from
erre of the mail order firma, had a
daughter about to be marlin d See her
husband was n little sheet of ready cash,
she went to one of the local storey t�
purchase linen and other goods for her
daughter's trousseau, expecting to ob-
tain the usual credit. The dealer polite-
ly declined to part with his goods except
for spot cash, stating that the firm from
which she had parohaced her machine,
would undoubtedly bo glad to extend the
desired credit. She tried another etore
and was met by the ease polite sug-
gestion.
Mrs. Dash, the farmer's wife, drove in
with butter and eggs. The geo.:er ad-
mitted that the butter wee fine and the
eggs fresh, but stated Chet he did not re-
quire any; that probably the firm in
Chicago, would be delighted to seed her
another box full of groceries in exchange
for her produce. The other grooers had
exactly the same story to toll.
When Farmer Dash brought in a load
of oats, he was offered five cents less
than the market price. He protested,
but was informed that the firm in Chi-
cago, from whom he bought his harness
and blankets, might be willing to take
his oats. Theo clothing firm and the
hardware man refused credit. He took
home his oats, and did not take home
some clothing, wive fencing and nails
that he required.
It was not very long before people
found how much depended upon the
business men of the town, and how
every individual suffered when any-
thing wag done to injure local enterprise.
It is understood that the express parcels
arriving at that station have appreciably
diminished.
if the mail order houses really gave
better value than the local merchants, a
.man might claim he was- entitled to buy
in the cheapest and Bell in the dearest
market, bat experience has demonstrat-
ed over and over again that such is not
the vasa. If you bay in Brasil quantities
and expeot credit from our looal mer-
chants, do you expect to get the same
prices that you would by buying in large
quantities, cash in advance from some
city firm?
Give our Wingham merchants a
chance to figure on your requirements
on the same basis and see it you oannot
do as well here. In one case you will
find that you buy from a picture and pay
in advance, and then wait a week for
your prize package. In the other case,
yon buy from the people you know; you
} see the goods before you accept them and
before yon pay one cent. In one case
you hurt Wingham, and in the other
you. help 'Wingham, its schools, its
churches, and its institutions. Give the
matter a little thought

—We have an excellent letter from
Dr. Mary R. Findlater, late of Morris
township, giving a good description of
her trip through the West, We are
sorry we have not apace this week, but
the letter will appear in our next issue.
—Mrs. George Willis, of Wroxeter,
died suddenly in Wingham, on Monday
of last week. Deceased had been in
poor health for some months and was
in her 66th year. The funeral took
place last Thursday to Wroxeter
cemetery.
—Mr. Geo. H. Smith of Lucknow re-
ceived a cheque last week from Lord
Strathcon.a for $100.00 payable to the
Caledonia Society, as a subscription to-
wards Caledonia Games to be held next
summer in connection with Old Boys
Pcunion which is to held at Luoknow.
—From a clipping taken from the
Rhodesian Mining News, a South Afri-
can publication, we notice that Mr. W.
H. Wells, a former resident of Wing•
ham, has "struck a very rioh reef,"
which is described as "a veritable
jeweller's shop," every portion of it
containing visible gold.
—Wingbam is truly in the fruit belt.
This week Mr. John Quirk pinked sever-
al baskets of peaohes from a tree in his
garden. The tree was grown from a
pit planted a few years ago. The
TIMES now returns thanks to Mr. and
Mrs. Quirk for a basket of the peaches
that were grown in what is known ae
"the snow belt."
—Perhaps the largest shipment of
rubbers that ever came into Wingham
for one dealer arrived on Monday of last`
week for Mr. W. J. Greer, of the
Leading Shoe Store. There were 126
oases in the lot. Since last May, the
price of rubbers has advanced 15 per
cent., but we understand those had been
bought before the advance.
