FREE ADVERTISING ON THE EDITORIAL 

 PAGES, ETC. 



Mr. Root:— I have been a subscriber to your paper 

 for some time, and value the same highly; but you 

 seem to exert too much energy in boosting Chicago 

 mail-order monopolies. 1 think it detracts much 

 from your magazine to run paid advertising in edi- 

 torial pages. I refer to July 1st issue, p. 411 to 4i:3. 



Park. Wash., .July 11. J. D. Custer. 



Many thanks, my good friend, for speak- 

 ing out frankly. We get so many kind 

 words that it woukl be out of the question 

 to think of i)ublis]iing them all; therefore 

 it is a little refreshing to receive a criticism, 

 even if the writer of it is mistaken. Per- 

 mit me to say, as I have done before, that 

 we do not, under any circumstances, receive 

 a copper for what is said on the editorial 

 ])ages. All the goods I have bought of the 

 houses alluded to have been jiaid for at cat- 

 alog prices. I have never received any favor 

 in the way of rebates or discounts, and, in 

 fact. I have told them I did not want any. 

 Perliaps you may recall that there is no 

 advertisement in our columns from either 

 firm in the number containing my writeup. 

 Since that came out, some of our Medina 

 tradesmen liave expressed a wish to furnish 

 us goods just as low as the mail-order houses 

 do. In such a case I would most assuredly 

 trade at home. That article was mainly 

 written, however, because I found difficulty, 

 both here and in Florida, in getting exactly 

 what I wanted, and in being able to ex- 

 change or return it if it did not i)rOve to be 

 satisfactory. — A. I. R. 



WANTS GLEANINGS FOR FIVE YEARS, ETC. 



I am enclosing three dollars for Gleanings anoth- 

 er five years. We enjoy it very much indeed, and 

 should want it, even if we never expected to own a 

 bee in the world. Gle.anings appeals to us espe- 

 cially because it bristles all over with good will, 

 fellow-feeling, and square dealing. W'e think much 

 of brother A. I. (we feel more like saying grandpa 

 Root), and enjoy reading his articles very very 

 much. 



I would like to have 50 of those tracts. "The Crown 

 of Diamonds and the Crown of Thorns." I want to 

 place them in the hands of some of our good neigh- 

 bors who have not quite enough courage or infor- 

 mation to vote dry. 



Scottsdale, Ariz., July 13. V. A. Vanderhoof.
