Christmas day in Oakland was
about as quiet as it well could be.
The weather was horrible, rain fall
ing almost the entire day. There
were but few people on the streets
and they were as busy as they could
be in getting off of them and seeking
shelter from the downpour. One
good thing about the weather, how
eyer, was the absence of drunken
men on the streets. They seemingly
preferred to stay at home.
There are a thousand things in
your store that will furnish the
theme for readable, interesting, at
tractive advertisement. Take one
article or one class of articles at
time and describe them as accurately
as possible. Tell just exactly what
you see about them that makes them
good and desirable. Certainly when
you bought them, you had some idea
that for a particular reason that par
ticular thing would sell. That's the
idea to put into the advertisement.
All of the merchants are busy TAX
ing stock to see Just where they are
and how much they did on the holt
day trade. Every one of them reports
that they did remarkably we'll during
the past month. The season ahead
is usually considered the dull season
but there is no reason for so consid-
ering it if the merchant will only adj
vertise his wares properly. There is
no end to the wants of the consumer
and the wise merchant keeps remind
ing him where he can get the best
goods for the least money.
