The Mail Order Wife (1912)

John White's sweetheart, May Webster, refuses to marry him while her old father is in need of her, and John goes west to take a government farm. Finding that their two ranch grants adjoin each other, he and Bob Strong become partners. Five years later Bob suggests that they get a housekeeper, and in spite of John's contempt of the idea. Bob adds a postscript to an order for some goods from a Chicago mail-order house, stating that if the company has any young woman who would care to go west and marry, to include her in the order. It is May who opens the letter and reads the postscript. After some correspondence between her and Bob, arrangements are made for the wedding, but the plans are suddenly changed when the young woman appears and meets her old sweetheart, John. The old love awakens and Bob is finally forced to give the girl up to his partner.
