BUYING AT HOME.
Last Saturday a reader telephoned me regarding my urging people to trade at home. He said that he want¬ ed to do tbia as far as possible, but he would also request me to urge the local merchants to give proper consideration to orders, and see that goods were de¬ livered when promised. He said he had telephoned one of our local dealers for a commodity of which he was in need, and they had promised him to deliver it and had not done so. He said that he could send an order into New York and get the goods tbe same day, and if our local merchants expected patronage they must give at least as good service as the city stores, which have to send the goods much further.
I was glad he spoke about   tbis   be¬ cause it opened ap two  more  grounds fpr discussion.    In the first   place,   in { the case he mentioned the troable was 1 not tbat the goods were not delivered, { bat that they were oromised.    If our I
local merchants would do aa the city !K«"'"K P*"?'*. *° ?'K" *he pledge, and stores do, and if  they  cannot deliver jio'" the organization.
an item say so, and not promise prom- 	
iscuously without any idea of keeping tbeir promises, it would be much bet¬ ter. Tbere is no disgrace or risk of loss of business reputation if you tell Tbe heavy rain and wind storm Sat- a customer yoa cannot deliver his urday and Sunday did no particular articles immediately, bat when you; damage in this section.

On the otber hand it is not a fact that one can always get such remarka¬ ble service in the city. I could cite several instances in the laat few weeks where I have ordered goods from zity stares which local stores do not   keep, j "
and have had to wait   until   tbe  store ;    William P.
