is that the secondhand dealer is, with little

will patronize the second hand store. taking
it for granted that they are securing bar
gains. when in fact they pay more for half
worn goods than the original cost. Some
of the secondhand stores have an addi-

which adds an additional fascination for the

Sudden Fortunes That Have Been
Made by Economy and Attention
to Business.

To most people the suggestion of second
hand clothing is uncanny, as the Scotch
would say. 1t reminds one of CRATE full
of cold ashes, or dead mems bones or of
repast consisting of soup. hash and mince
pie, or of fruit from which the juice has
once been sucked. A little Socrates phil
osophy will, however. soon convince any
one that the prejudice is unreasonable. Cir
cumstances govern all cases, and it Is prob
ably owing to this fact that the secondhand
store thlives when business investm nts
languish. 1t can be set down. too, that the
secondhand store prospers most when
money is tight and sales are highland
very naturally. The rich and well-to do
sell their cast-off clothing, which is shade
out of date. throw aside their furniture, or
do away with stoves because they have in
introduced furnaces or steam heat
into the honse. About this time
the agent for secondhand store
happens along. Woman, beautiful and
unsophisticated woman. is natural bar
terer, and when the agent. offers to pay her
either cash OF to exchange silver or glass
ware the temptation is too much for her.
As the result the second hand store has
perennial supply of goods which costs
little or nothing. Suits OF clothing are
easily cleaned, the worn spots neatly
patched, newer buttons sewed on. The
chances are that the suit was wellmade
and still retains sort of an air of gentiltY
which readily sells it. There are in Min
neapolis twenty-five secondhand stores.
