How TO GET TRADE IN SUMMER.-En-
tering the store of prosperous city mer-
chant recently, Il gentleman, a stranger in
town, expressed surprise at the busy scene
that greeted him. He inquired of the pro-
prietor how it was that he was getting more
| than his share Of business in these dull,
midsummer days. The merchant replied :
II attribute the excellent business do ev-
erp summer to just two things: First, ad-
vertise bargains and keep my store before
the public second, when the public calls I
satisfy it by keeping my advertised prom
Uses. 1t cost me Sc 900 to learn this lesson
and it has paid me at least S25, OOO During
three successive summers during the hard
years that followed 1873 l ran behind in
this store on an average $4,000 every year.
l made up my mind that there was business
of the worst and duIlest year that we had,
when clerks were absent on their vacations
and half Of the force in the store was idle, |
started in and spent 81 200 in advertising
midsummer bargains, remnants, old stock
and so on. Within week my store was so
full of business that had to send for every
clerk who was away, and I added two extra
clerks That year, instead Of a loss Of
$4,000 in the summer, | made $500, be-
sides what paid for advertising. l have
kept it up ever since That was the most
expensive lesson I ever learned, but it was
the most instructive and the most remu-
nerative II had to start in business again.
as poor as when l was when l started, l
would make it a rule to spend at least one
half of what my rent cost in advertising in
