Merchants Claim Local Stores Undersell Mail Order Houses
Montana Development association publishes four sample ads comparing Montana store prices with Eastern mail order lists. The campaign argues local merchants beat replacement-value priced catalogues by about 1 percent across staple clothing dry goods and groceries valued from 50 to 100 dollars.

Merchant members urged to review catalogs and support local businesses.
