COUNTRY STORE ADVERTISING.
Some Apt suggestions and Hints for those
Interested in the Subject.

Some Apt Suggestions and Hints for those
Interested in the subject.
Country store advertising is improv-
ing, and as it improves it grows more
and more interesting and all the better
for the interest it excites. 1t was for
merly of little consequence, because
country storekeepers took little interest
in this department of their own bust
ness. The advertising was unpopular,
was neglected, and regarded as a bore
because 1t was considered an expense
rather than a source Of profit. Shrewd
men haye taken the advertising ex-
pense account from the blacklist it for
merly occupied, and put it in the light
so that we can plainly see just what its
value is and its probable and profitable
returns. Money is now spent, not
grudgingly as formerly, but freely and
voluntarily, and in some instances,
lavishly. That none may be thrown
away, the quality of country store
advertising should be carefully consider
ed and every help toward goodness
adopted. We quote the following sug-
gestion from an exchange, as possibly a
useful one:
"A good plan for busy dealers to
put into operation, and one that has
been tried with success, is to put every
clerk in the house upon his mettle and
award some prize to the one who gets
up the best arranged or most attractive
advertisement. The moment they feel
a spirit of good-natured rivalry they
begin to devote their spare moments to
the question, and oftentimes they think
out a policy that is not only surprise
to themselves, but to their employers.
1t also serves as drill in one of the
first essentials to good merchant.
This applies as well to circular an
nouncements as to newspaper ads"
The average country clerk has no
conception of any special talent or
adaptability he may possess that might
be usefully applied to business affairs.
He regards the "Old Man" as an or
acle; wonders how he happens to know
so much, and where he learned it, but
doesn't dream of setting out to like
wise learn, nor even of probing fol
any latent talent he may himself pos
sess. He needs squirting, and it will
be to his employers advantage to use
the spur. We speak by the card il
this matter; we were a country clerk
oursef once upon a time, and retro
spect holds up to us today more than {
trihe of time wasted for want of spur
ring.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

Every townSwants factories of some
character, and, strange as it may appear,
thousands of them exist and prosper in
towns where there is least excuse for
them-an utter absence of raw material.
This, however, is a condition which can
not long last. They must eventually
go to the raw materials and thereby
save the expense of unnecessary trans
portation. The factories to be built up
in the future will seek such locations as
will enable them to operate at least eX-
pense, as well as furnish the materials
from which the finished product is made
materials compatible with the charac-
ter of the factory.-Exchange.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.

All the school directors were present
on Monday evening at the meeting Of
the board. Superintendent Forbes re-
ported that with the permission OF
four members, he had transferred Miss
Ella Boland from the central building
to No. building, as the accommoda-
tions in the central were not sufficient.
1t was desirable that pupils should be
taken from the central building to the
No. 3 school The board, however, took
no action upon the matter. The num-
Der. of scholars was reported as num-
bering 1900. AS there are eighty-eight
pupils in Miss Morrison's room at the
Farview street school, and as another
teacher was necessary, on motion of
Mr.. Coogan the board decided to fur
nish another room and to appoint n
teacher. Miss Anna Lee, of Ashley,
a normal school graduate, was nomi-
mated by Mr.. Coogan and unanimous
ly elected. Her salary, on motion of
Mr.. Alexander, was fixed at $35.

miles of path will be sufficient. There
is already a good grade and surface to
Scott street which intersects Fallbrook
street a short distance this side of the
Falls" The main road will be left at
Coles hollow in order to avoid the
Williams hill. 1t is thought that work
can begin early in the spring.
