One of the stock excuses of the man
who orders goods from a mail order
house is that there are many things
that he wants that the local mer-
chants do not carry in stock, and that
Et Is necessary for him to send away
from town to get them.
This explanation may be all right
on the theory that a poor excuse is
better than none, but it fails to pass
muster when it is subjected to alit-
tle scrutiny.
Ask the man who offers thisas an
excuse for his dealings with the,mail
order man why he does not go to the
local merchant and ask him to order
the articles desired if they are not to •
be found in the merchant's stock, The
merchant will very gladly do this suid

the merchant and customer will both
profit. The merchant can sell you
*whatever you desire at as low a price
as the mail order house can make you

make a entail profit,
The customer will profit from the

the far -distant mail order man if you
must have something which is not to
be found in the local stores? He
will do the business in a satiefactory
manner, give you as quick if not quick-

ment, and the chances are that
he will'give you better values for the
money... Finally., whatever profit is to

No business can be transacted as
latisfactorily at long range as it can
when the two parties to the transac-
tion meet face to face. The only ex-
ception to this rule is in the ease Of
the mail order man himeelf, who can
transaet his business with greater no -
cess to himself at long distance than
he could if he had to meet his cps-
totners face to face. That is the reason
that he does bulginess by mail instead
of selling to the people in his own
eity. If the goods which the mail or-
der man advertises in his alluring cat-
alogues were the bargains that he rep-
resents them to be, he would not have
to go outside of the confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the average mail
order house not only does not tnake
any effort to sell goods in its own city,
but will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits. The mail order
man does not want to meet hb3 sus -
tomes face to face, He can do busi-
ness better so far as he is concerned if
his customer is some hundreds of miles
away from his office.

ANOIDER BELORAVE LAD.
11158 97th St.,
Edmonton, Sep;30, 1919.
Editor "AdvanCe,"
Dear Sir,
I was greatly interested in a letter from
the pea of 13. of II, which appeared in
your paper sometime ago, recalling old
tline events in Belgrave, and wOuld like to
express my appre.ciation through the
same medium. If all the old timers of
13elgrave who have gone to distant parts
were to write telling of the interesting
events a those days, we would be surp-,
risecl at bow much did really happen and
also how )3e1gravians have drifted to the
four corners ot the earth. For instance
B. of 13. told us a a great many things,
but he omitted to speak of the Queens
Jubilee celebraticin in 1887 which was cer.
tainly a red,letter day in the history of
Belgrave.
QUALITY AND GOOD SERVICp at
lowest possible prices is our motto, :Let
us supply your home with choice Grocer-
ies and Provisions. Our stock is fresh
and clean. We offer you satisfaction.—
R BROOKS,
Then there was the Literary Society,
with its concerts, theatricals, and debates
Who is there who has forgotten the mock
election when McKinnon, and Tovell
were candidates for the mayoralty, the
former giving his qualificatioos, as being
"a Scotchman a Presbyterian, and a Grit"
whileour old friend J, G. Stewart in his
race for civic honors panned a scheme to
have the Maitland River with its tribut-
ary the Belgrave Creek converted into a
great waterway navigable for the largest
boats, thus making Belgrave a veritable
lake port. Mr, Mason in his letter re-
marked that the Edmonton people like
those of Calgary "had big ideas." but I
believe the biggest idea originated in Bel -
grave and J. G. made a mistake in not
coming to Edmonton on his recent trip.
From the tenor of Mr. Mason's letter I
judge he made a very brief stay in this
place, possibly frightened by the large
numbers on the buildings or otherwise by
the multitude of foreigners of which he
speaks. However he could choose a
neighborhood at random and 19 cases'
out of 20 he might imagine himself in
Wingbam as far as any foreign element is
concerned. Mr. Mason is right, the
houses are numbered in the thousands,
and he might have added, "so are the
automobiles" Farmers who a few years
ago had nothing faster than a yoke of
oxen to bring them to the city now have
their cars.
Perhaps at this stage an explanation of
the numbering system will be in order,
The streets all run north and south, the
avenues' east and west, The two pri'ndi-
pal thorough fares cross at right angles
in the heart of the city and are named
101st street and 101st (or jasper) avenue
respectively, Westward from 101st St.
the numbers increase, while eastward
from the same source they diminish.
In the same way, the numbers north of
101st avenue increase while southward
they diminish. The idea is, not to give
outsiders a false impression of the vast
ness of the city, but to make it easy for
any person to find a given number, once
they grasp the idea of the system. For
instance my house number is 11158 97th
street in the first block north of 111th
aye
Yes, they have big ideas here because
they are compelled to have them, but
what looks like a big idea when it is laun-
ched usually looks very small in a year or
two. There are warehouses built just
previous to the war which were consider-
ed at the time to have ample capacity
for an indefinite period, but which are
now utterly inadequate to handle the
business assigned to them. If anyone
from Ontario, were to spend a while in the
wholesale district here and note the
amount of goods which come from that
good old province he would realize that
Edmonton alone contributes in a great
measure to its prosperity. I know per-
sonally of one manufacturing firm in Ont-
ario, which sold over 100 grain separators
in the district north of this city.. And
we are glad to see it for there is yet too
much stuff imported for the good of the
country,
However what I wish to say is that AI-
berta' not the whole of Canadaneither is
Ontario, and if we wish our country to
fulfill the destiny which may be her's we
must think and speak of her as she is to-
day not as she was before confederation.

HE Ontario Temperance Act has reduced
crime by over one-third and drunkenness in

Alcoholic insanity has disappeared.
Gold cures and alcoholic institutes for treat-
ing alcoholism have been closed for lack of
patients.
Ontario has been saved an annual drink bill of
$36,000,000, enough to pay our share of interest
on the War Debt.
Many victims of alcohol three years ago, thank
God to -clay for the Ontario 'Temperance Act.

-the phonograph which
amazed all Wingham
A" you one of those who believe that no phonograph can
match the voice of the living human? An astonishing dis-
covery awaits you—like the many Winghamites who attended
the Marie Morrisey recital.
Thomas A. Edison gave his
famous Tone -Test last Tues-
day night in the Opera House.
He had Miss Morrisey sing
in direct comparison with
RE-CREATION of her voice
by the New Edison.*
• Music lovers were completely
baffled. Their ears were un-
-0(
able to distinguish the RE-
CREATED voice from 'the
living. - You have never heard
any phonograph that ap-
proaches the New Edison. It
RE-CREATES not only the
musical notes, but every elu-
sive quality of tone and color
which identify the original
'artist.
