E. speaking before the interstate said there seemed to be only tributors that have had “a good standing with either the Democratic or Republican administration and those are the mail order houses.” “If the accusations of the attorney general against the retail merchants ‘were not inspired by the mail order interest,” hé@ said, “by whom were they inspired?

What would it be worth to the mail order interests to have the public educated by the attorney generals and the radical newspapers to believe that every time they made a purchase at a retail store they were being robbed? It would mean millions of extra trade for the mail order concerns. “If you are going to be successful in 1922 you must meet this vicious propaganda, you must answer the question in your advertising to your own community.
