making business fiuexds
When you send your dollar off to
some mail order house or distant
store, you get what you nay for
and no more. The fluffy haired
girl who handles it cares nothing
for you. The merchant whom you
hel^d ,r~ enrich never hoars cf
you. The transaction has no after
math, except possibly the effort to
return an unsatisfactory purchase.
When you buy goods at home you
make business ties. The proprietor
and his clerks want to keen your
trarte and will return your favo^
In any way that «iey can. A con
sistent policy of home buying
creares a circle of loyal business
friends. If you are in trade for
for yourself in your home town,
this is absolutely necessary to suc
cess. And it is exceedingly help
ful to anyone else.
Success comes largely by favor.
Many people wonder how some fel
lows get along so easily. Usually
♦here is no magic or secret about

liTts to mike friends. If they have
anything to sell, whether a line
of merchandise or personal services,

way. Buying goods in one's hoilie
town is the simplest and easiest
way to create helpful business re- i
U'i'iis. And it cost nothing.
DECLINE OF POSTAL CAKD
.LETTERS
Some one was asking the ether'
day -.vnat has become of the olil-1
fashioned people who used to write
lonj personal messages on the old !
plain pcstal cards. It was for j
many years a stock joke in the j
rural districts, that tho delivery of
mail was delayed by the time it j
tcok the postmaster to read these j
cards. This may have been a libel,
but Tery intimate matters used to !
be discussed in the publicity cf i
these eld post cards, in a way that
must have excited the curiosity of
prying persons.
No doubt these old postal cards '
letters have been mostly supplanted
by the use of the picture k cards
or cards with mottoes, jokes, or
I greetings. The use of these is
larger than, ever before.
Most of us caa remember the
maiden aunts and others who were
noted for their ability to write
long effusions on postal cards.
Some of them prided themselves on
the number of words that could be
legibly written on a post card. If
memory serves aright, this would
ofteur run- into the two or three
hundreds. Fine pointed pens were
pushed with a concise motion that
is a lost art now.
The cent that the postal card
saved was a part of a well planned
couseivation of resources, by which
bank books were acquired in days
of small economic things. A two
ant letter was a needless waste,
in which not merely the stamp but
the cost of paper and envelope was
a consideration.
The publicity, does not affect the
sate of -the moderu post card.
The messages are so flat and rou
tine that it is doubtful if the post
master ever stops to read them.
It must be a tiresome task to
wade through a score of cards,
only to find such heart throbs as
"Here I am at Skagway! How are
you? Rotten weather, Good-by."
