WHEN the big department stores OF
Denver lately undertook to dictat. ad-
vertising rates to the newspapers there
and stopped advertising in order to en-
force their demands the small stores
took advantage of the boycott and be-
gan to advertise. They got immediate
results, one house having to call for
police to keep back the crowds, while
the large places were practically
empty. A little dry goods firm that
had never been heard of before turned
away a thousand people for want of
room to receive them inside. The
moral is obvious.
