A GREAT SUPPLY HOUSE.

One of the great business enter.
prises of Minneapolis is the T. M.
Roberts Supply House. Like all large
and successful enterprises, 1t has been
n growth from a small beginning.
There seems to be a popular belief
that it requires but little time, less
capital, and no experience to start and
manage great mail order business.
In the last six or seven years there
have been started several supply
houses in Minneapolis, but they at.
tempted to start at the top, and soon
found it impossible to compete with

grew in experience as it's business in.
creased.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. T. NJ.
Roberts had retail hardware store
in Minneapolis. 1t was a very good
store of its kind, too, but it only oc-
cupied single room and basement
with about a 25-foot front and some.
thing like 100 foot depth. Mr.. Rob.
erts saw that in some lines of hard
ware-notably stoves and ranges
country and village people were
obliged by their local dealers to pay
too high a price for their goods, so he
began to>advertise stoves and ranges
through the country at city prices.
Naturally he began to sell them. He
extended his advertising to other lines
of hardware and began making un.
heard of prices. 1t was some time
before he began to add other goods
than hardware to his stock, and. when
he did SO it was done very conserv-
atively. He wanted to be perfectly
sure of his ground before advancing.
One cardinal principle of this house
from the very beginning was to share
every bargain it obtained with it's GUS
toner's, If it had, for instance,
large quantity Of steel nails on hand
and the price advanced, it did not fol-

attempting to prove that 1t does not
apply to brown men. But by It's Ian
