the season, i'm order TO make reputation
for cheapness, and so, draw trade.
This is good business, and especially so
when merchant desires TO attract popu-
lar attention TO his store.
For instance, the owner Of a very small
and unsuccessful store can, by Offering,
say, 2000 yards of muslin at cents per
yard which is popularly known TO be
worth 5 cents per yard, draw people TO MS
store and perhaps sell them quantity OF
other goods upon which he makes profit.
The example is purely fictitious but
shows that by the expenditure OF Few
dollars In newspaper advertising 10 reacn
the public, and by sacrificing 500 in sell
ing value, how successful business en-
terprises have been built up.
When goods are thus offered below cost,
some merchants seek, by averaging their
profits, TO recover the sacrifice; that Is,
they add slight percentage on other
things the exact value of which is not SO
obvious To the consumer.
DIsCoUNTING BILLS.
1t is a common thing to hear it said
that tine large department stores give
their entire profits To their customers,
and rely solely on their cash discounts
They can do this and still show hand
some margin of gain upon the capital
invested, provided they figure accurately
and intelligently, and are able To clean
up their shelves quickly.
When a merchant Is able TO pay cash
for his goods, he can usually obtain all
the way from two TO ten per cent. dis
count off the list price of goods supplied
TO him.
With the list price in mind he adds a
certain percentage for rent, light and
heat, for clerk hire for profit and loss,
for advertising, for delivery, etc, ETC. -
figures approximated and developed by
reference to past experience-and makes
his selling price equal the sum total Of
these.
He then seeks to sell the goods as
quickly as possible.
Every time he sells the entire stock, or
turns it over as ne calls it, no makes the
discount above referred TO, as "A profit.
Thus successful merchants and the
largest retail dry goods stores are able to
furnish the people with goods at cost.
A merchant doing business by this
method. say on u two per cent basis, cal
culates TO turn over his stock at least three
or tour times N year. If he does II four
times his profit will be 4X2 per cent
equals per cent on the capital invested.
Each department of a store or each class
of goods is made a unit in this method of
selling.
ADVERTISING.
All successful business houses advertise
and prefer and find that newspaper adj
vertising is the most effective for reach
ing all classes OF people.
Ii Is necessary To advertise in order to
sell goods in paying volume.
Ii is necessary To keep advertising in
order to hold public attention and get

SNAKES As PETS.


sI It may J, seem strange to make pet Of a
snake. 1t Is not so strange after all when
seems to be becoming fad in New York
rays the New York Herald 1t is the
king snake, and it can be truly called the
peacock of its species 1t Is most beau
black stripes and again in whiteand black
stripes. 1t has seldom been known to bite
human being. and yet it is a terror to
all other snakes. Small as the king
snake is. 1t never hesitates to attack an
other snake no matter how large and it
Is q rare case when it does not succeed
In killing it's enemy.
The king snake when full grown is
about a foot and half long. 1t is found
as far north as Colorado and as
Colorado are marked with dull brown
stripes by no means beautiful: but as you
travel south you will find the king snake
more and more beautifully marked, and
when you reach the borders of Mexico
the finest specimen of any srake in the
world can be found.
They are most intelligent reptiles and
can easily be domesticatad They can be
fondled without the least fear, and will
not attack a human beirg unless aroused.
The king snake is most graceful in re-
pose, and when in action its movements
are like lightning.
dealer whom ! saw in Harlem has
over a hundred of them in stock and he
told me yesterday that he sells something
like five a day. They bring all the way
from 81 TO s. piece.
New Workers know little OF snakes ~
said he to me yesterday, land least of
all the king snake. | received two or
three of them from a friend OF mine in
Texas last year, and kept them as curos-
tiles. i put them in a case in my window.
and the beauty of their colors attracted
many people. / received dozens of in
quiries about them. The majority of the
people never heard of a king snake. and
when told them that the snake was not
dangerous and related little incidents of
their intelligence, the people were simply
wild to get one. This may have started
the fad for king snakes, but, at any rate,
to please my customers | had to order a
large stock of the snakes and now /
have more demand for them than for
anything else"
Where do the people keep the snakes?"
/ asked.
Right in the house. They crawl about
the floor and make themselves at home as
readily as a cat or a dog. In fact they
rid the house of vermin, and no mice or
rats remain anywhere near a king snake
They are perfectly harmless, and will
never attack you unless, of course. you
deliberately tantaliZe them.
1.-THE king snake delights in feeding on
mice. 1t can go without eating for nearly
six months at time, but when ii is real
~ hungry 1t will attack anything. AS a
result, | am obliged to keep on hand a
large number of mice to meet demands
for them as a repast for the king snake.
] am not surprised that people take to
this reptile SO much. especially women.
II Is the most beautiful snake of which
