Move to cash basis to curb mail order catalogues
Illinois merchants organize a state wide campaign to promote home trading. They advocate cash only sales after Nov 1 to undercut mail order prices and keep profits local, arguing cash sales reduce debt, support wages, taxes, and community services while catalogues underpay and undervalue goods. The piece closes with local notes on Sadie Feece and a post office policy on mail requests and jury swearing.
