OF INTEREST ToLocAL DEALERS
Special Agent Boylan Says Country
Merchants Can Complete With
City Concerns by Adopting
Their Methods-AdVer-
tiSinq the Remedy,

advertise is the Keynote" says
Special Agent John I. Boylan, of the
Rural Free Delivery service, in an in
terview at Iowa Falls touching the
new conditions that exist since the in
auguraton of the free rural mail dcliv
cry service in many parts or this state.
When questioned as to the effect the
new service has on trade and its recep-
ton by the business men in the smaller
cities and towns, Mr.. Boylan, who
travels all over the west in his official
capacity and comes in close touch With
the people of various localities, says
! that he 1inds many merchants who are
| unfavorable to the new rural service.
| This objection he finds is due to the
| position the merchants take that the
| farmers do not come to town as much
as they formerly did before the mail
WAS delivered ut their doorsteps each
morning. The merchants OF the smaller
cities and towns maintain that the
farmer depends more on the attractive
offers made by the merchants of the
cities and is inclined to mail order
business which is done with the big
concerns in the big cities. MIR. Boylan
, thinks, however, that this criticism
will soon pass and that the smaller
tradesmen will soon become adapted to
the new order Of things and will be in
q position to compete with the big
dealers in the far-away cities ard will
be able to discount the quotations made
on account Of the freight and express
charges necessarily added by the for
eign merchants. He holds that the big
city merchant has been the first to
come in touch with the new order OF
things and is catering to the country
trade through the medium OF we'll de
vised advertisements in the big dailies
Mr.. Boylan's opinion is that the small
Ter merchant will quickly see the adj
vantage of this work and will seek tho
same results from equally attractive
offers placed in the columns OF the
tlalies and weeklies scattered all ovel
the west. He maintains that the slnal
Ter dealer must come in touch with The
rural consumer through the medium o
the newspaper and the sooner hs
appreciates the opportunities thus the
quicker will be the returns under the
new conditions.
