still gave the purchaser a cash discount of 10 per cent from the orcH- 

 nary prices. The young farmer brought his entire stock of miscella- 

 neous equipment from the store at one trip with a team and wagon, 

 and then spent a day or two arranging his workshop and disposing 

 of his various purchases in the most convenient places, the extent of 

 his outlay impressing him with the necessity for taking systematic 

 care of the smallest details. Several items which were not up to the 

 standard were taken back and exchanged for perfect goods at the 

 local store, and in this way the entire outfit was delivered at the farm 

 with very little expenditure of time and annoyance and in perfect con- 

 dition. By following this method the farmer was enabled to make 

 his selection from w^ell-known brands and from a larger stock than 

 that afforded by the ordinary store, besides having a pleasant outing. 

 His total purchase amounted to about $125, a portion being for 

 household use.
