ITO , 4ii4 as TRADE 15 GAMBLE Consumer Takes long Chance When He Buys From the Mail Order House. GENERALLY IS LOSING GAME Method of Doing Business is Very Different When You Purchase Goods From Your `Promo Merchant: (Copyright.) When you were a youngster, did you ever make a trade, "sight unseen?" Of course you did. What boy has not risked' his jackknife or his choicest mar, ble on such a proposition and how oft- en 'has he repented of his rash deed When he discovered what he got in the trade? He generally found that the deal turned out to the advantage of the one who made the proposition. There is a little of the gambling in- stinct in the blood of nearly every man, woman and child, but even the hard- ened gambler likes to get a "run for his money." The "sight unseen" prop- osition doesn't appeal to him in the least. There are tbousauda of people, however, who would be properly indig. neat . if - they were accused of being gamblers, who every day take a chance on the greatest gambling gatne in the world. And worse than that, they are risking their money on a "sight un- seen" proposition. When one of the thousands of per- sons who build up and keep up the great mail order 'houses of the country sends hie money away to pay for some article that he has selected from the mail order catalogue, he is taking a chance on getting what he expects to get. The mail order house may be perfectly •honest and still the purchas• er stands a good chance of not get- ting what he expects to get, The mail order catalogues are filled with pie - tures that catch the eye. The de- scriptions are brief, as they must be when thousands of articles are to be described within the confines of one bock. No matter how hard the mail order house might try to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, it would he an imposstdbility. The brayer is simply taking et chance. auyltt,tY "Sight Unseen."

Whet would saayotia think of your business ,MIity mar'vat enenason arm 11 you walked into a store at home and said : "I saw a picture in the paper today of a suit which I liked very much. Please wrap up one for me. Here's the money." The merchant would think that you were crazy, but that is exactly what you do every time you send an order to a mail order house. You buy "sight unseen" and you haven't a ghost of a chance of getting your money back if the article is unsatisfactory when it teaches you. How different is the proceeding when you go into the store in your own home town to _ buy a suit of clothes, or a stove or a yard of ribbon. You may have, seen a picture of it in the Merchant's advertisement in the home paper and you know that, at the merchant is reliable, you can count on the goods being as he represents them in his advertisement. But does he ask you to take his word -for everything' Does he, hide the article behind the counter and tell you that you can't even see it until you buy it and pay over the money for it? Hardly. If the article is not already in plain eight on the counter, the merchant produces It for your inspection. If it does not exactly suit you, he has others that are alittle different and that he le glad to have you inspect. Get Merchant's Guarantee. Then, if it it a suit of clothes yon are buying, or a piece of dress goods or a pair of socks, you may sok if the merchant will guarantee that it will wear as long as an article of that kind Could be expected to wear and he will tell you either that he will guarantee it or that he will not, If he tells you that he will guarantee it you will know that you will get your money back or another suit or another pair of sock, in its place if it doesn't wear like it should, for the merchant, besides be, Ing an honest man in most cases, dan- not afford not to make his word good.

After having all this opportunity to see what you are buying, you take your suit or your stove or whatever it is you buy home or it Is sent home for you without any delivery charges, and after jou get home and take another look at it and decide you don't want It after all, you send it back.

Wingham, Ontario Publie Meetieg A pubic meeting of the 'citizens is called for Thursday evening at 8 o clock in the Council Chamber. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss ways and means of completing the building of the new skating rink, either by forming a syndicate and purchasing the rink or by assisting Wardsman l3ros., financially. Possibly no person in town has more sympathy than Mr. Wardsman in his great loss, but sympathy does not butter bread or buy coal these days. We believe the hall will be crowded if the people's expressions of sympathy are real. Luck now Lucknow has now only one train a day, anyone leaving has to gut up in the mid- dle of the night to catch the morning train and the daily papers come in on the late train and you cannot get them until the next morning, so that now Lucknow is in a class by itself, no lights, no police- man or decent train Connection and there; seems to be a diversity of opinion as to where to place the blame, However there are some things which we have to put up with, whetherthey please us or not and so we will add these to the list and let.it go at that, The light situation seems to be the worst, and there are many who think that the council could hang lanterns or something on the streets se, that women would not be afraid to ven- tre out at night, but we have never had a perfect council, some of the kickers would probably do better but when offer- ed the chance they always find an excuse and decline with thanks, An old resident of Lucknow passed away in Toronto last week iu the person of Mr. Kenneth Campbell. He had been a grain buyer in his early years buying for Mr. Holmes and Mr. Sheriff and others and left Lueknow about 3o years ago, going to Chicago where his brother was a very prominent trainman. He did not stay there long however and he finally went to Toronto, where he passed away. The remains were brought to Lucknow and the funeral was held from Johnston's undertaking parlors on Saturday' con- ducted by the members of the A. F, & A. M. and interment took place in South Kinloss cemetery. The late Mr. Camp- bell was over 70 years of age and is sur- vived by one -brother, Roderick in Ash- field, where the fanily formerly resided. An old resident of Kinloss passed away at her home when Mrs. Wm. Houston joined the -great majority. Her maiden name. was Miss Annie McKinnon, and her partner in life predeceased her some years.ago. She was in her 64th year.. The funeral was held to South Kinloss cemetery. Miss Martha MacCallum spent a few days last week in Winghrni Hospital where she underwent a minor operation. Mr. Joe Johnston was also taken to Wing - ham Hospital suffering front appendicitis.

McKAY Jeweler and Optician Wingham Iv SAL T CT= The ntario Farmers' Favorite To win the farmers of Ontario the Moline -'Uni- versal Tractor had to show beyond all doubt that it was a sound, economical purchase. It has done that. If you are figuring on working more land, cut- ting down the cost of help and putting your farm on a more profitable basis, you should make up your mind to investigate the Moline at the very first opportunity. You're going to see a better piece of machinery than you expect. - You're going to see an engine you'll take off your hat to. You're going to see construction at every point that you know is right—that will stand rough usage without breakdown. You'll begin to understand w h'y Ontario farmers prefer the Moline. - TESTIMONIAL Willys-Overland, Limited, Tractor Division, Toronto, Canada.- Dear anada.Dear Sirs: I bought a Molinc.Universal Trac- tor after attending demonstrations of all other popular makes, for the reason that theMoline appealed tome as the only real one-man outfit. So far; I have used it for plowing and discing, and find that it has ample power. In plowing, I can lay out and finish without horses. My Moline is cheap to run, and the self-starter ie a great Convenience. Yours truly, (Signed) ALBERT H11WSON, Melton, Ont. The Moline hitches direct to the implement. You drive the engine from the seat of the imple- ment—a one-man outfit for all operations. You can back up and turn short with implements attached. The Moline has a 29% -inch clearance, enough for cultivating. - The engine is well t~p out of the dust. The working parts are cased in. The gears run in oil. There are 15 Hyatt roller bearings in this tractor. There is an electric starter and lighting system. Let us give a thorough demonstration on your farm for we believe we can convince you that you can do the most work, do it economically and better with a high-grade tractor like the Moline. You're going to have a tractor before long. Have one this fall. Put it to work and plan for bigger crops next year. It's worth an extra trip to town to see the Moline. Come in any time. We shall be pleased to demonstrate the Moline Universal Tractor at actual farm work to anyone interested. ALLEN & ALLEN, Blyth, Ont.
