This progressive citizen, in about sixty or ninety days, finally receives his stove or baby cab by slr.)w freight, pays three dollars and thir- teen cents freight on same, pays col- ored gzentleman twenty-seven cents for hauling the same and is happy unti] he has what is left of the crate oft when he finds one or two legs also off and the top cracked by con- stant precussion with the hard end of a freight car. The mail order house has guaran- teed the stove or baby cab ana when the progressive and patriotic citizen has complained by mail he receives the cheering information that the railroad company will pay the damages, the mail order house has done its duty.
