Seeking a Customer.

Every man in business Is looking
for some one to buy everything he
carries in stock. He is anxious to get
some one interested in every article.
When the goods have been put on the
shelves he is at once interested in get
ting them out of stock and into other
hands, and the sooner he gets the
goods into q customers hands the bet
ter is the movement as a business
venture. The profit may not be as
great as the merchant would make
were he to hold the goods for many
months, but he would then perhaps,
take chances on their selling at pro-
fit at all. The best way therefore, to
get the customer is to be after him
early, and get him into the interesting
part Of the conversation with REFER
ence to values and stocks, and Keep
the matter interesting until the Gus
toner appreciates the good to be OBJ
tanned now and the advantage OF buy
iny now. Most merchants really un-
derstand these points and are anxious
to unload as fast as they can after
loading up. They want to fill their
stock with good things and the" are
anxious to get the goods into the hands
of the appreciative in the community.
A good article is the stock makes the
stock look better but a good article
sold to a good customer widens the
audience of appreciative purchasers
and gives the store speaking FRIEND
who will say where she got the goods
and how good she thinks they are.
In planning for business therefore, a
necessity is to have the stock that Will
please the customer and, having the
article, to get its appreciative features
before the people as early as possible.
Tell as many good points OF the ar
ticle as is possible, and keep the peo-
pie interested all through the season
to insure their buying. If talking or
the attractiveness of the goods Will
not sell them, the quality ought 10 De
improved so that the people would be
more willing to come in and puy.
The quick sale helps to make a fair
profit and the man who has the stock
to offer and who Is able to tell ABOUT
it attractively and temptingly Will
get his profit without delay.
