Trade says: The catalogue houses have
built up their trade by the use OF pictures
and by advertising prices, making low
prices on goods with which the consumer
is we'll acquainted and getting the profit
back on other lines which the consumer
does not know so we'll. To meet this
competition the country merchant must
use the same methods as the catalogue
house. He must ADVERTISE he must give
prices in his advertisement and he must
use illustrations whenever possible. Were

the retail catalogue houses would not sell

TELL THE TRUTH.

Always say just what you mean ana
Just what you are going to do when wit
ing your advertisements don't exagger-
ate. tell the truth. II is very poor policy
to try to make the people think they can
get something for nothing, for when
they find out they have been fooled they
will ALWAYS remember it. Don't think
that all YOU have to do is to get the people
to come to your store and thatyour clerks
will do the rest Most of the people nave
a few articles YOU have advertised, IN
mind. and if they do not find them as
advertised" they become disguised and
YOU lose their patronage forever Put
Yourself in their position. II you we're
coming down the street and some friend
of yours should tell you story which
proved of enough interest to you so that
YOU took the trouble to investigate the
matter and should find it lie for private
gain what would you think Of the friend?
You would at once put him down as
cheat, and the next time he started any
of his interesting stories you wouldn't pay
a great deal Of attention would youP
Allie is a lie. whether told on the streets
or at the rate Of 0 cents per inch. A
fool advertisement not only does no good
but it positively does harm. Don't say
that these goods are worth so much when
you have been selling them for perhaps
two-thirds less at regular sales. the peo-
pie are not fools and II your advertisement
does attract their attention enough to gel
them to the store, it won't take them lone
to find out the truth of the matter
If you want to get rid Of your old stock
dig it out get the cost prices, set your
prices for reasonable figure, tell the peo-
pie what the goods are in as attractive
manner as possible and it the people wan
the goods they will come again when yol
have the next sale, Don't try to fool thu
people by telling them they are are get
ting new goods when anyone can see thai
they are out Of date and style.

The local retailer always finds it hard
matter to compete successfully with the
mail order houses and there are two rea-
sons which the local man might overcome
if he went about it in the right way The
first reason is because he does not adver-
tse his goods in the proper manner,
remedy for which we will endeaYor to
give later. The second is because he
let's the mail order house have the advan-
tage in buying goods OF course the deal
er cannot dictate TO the manufacturers
to whom they shall sell goods; but he can
saw to the manufacturer that unless he
insists on the mail order houses catalog-
ing their productions at at least % per
cent. profit, that he will not handle the
manufacturers goods, and if the business
men would all get together on this point II
would be comparatively easy to accomp-
ish this end. and will enable the local
dealer to stand some show Every year
Montgomery Ward & Co. and also Sears
Roebuck & Co. have goods which are
manufactured in Chicago, listed at about
10 per cent, profit. and they are able to
do this for the simple reason that they dc
not even carry the goods on their floors
or in their warehouses, as the goods are
shipped direct from the factory Now the
local dealer is obliged to carry a large
stock on hand while the mail order house
simply takes the orders and has then
shipped direct. See the point2 Get to
qether, Mr.. Businessmen. and tell thu
firms representative when he calls tina
you cant do business with him unless NJ
will protect your interest by making tn
mail arder houses charge price equal t
what YOU are obliged to charge.

THEY SAVE THE CITY s2Os.
City Attorney and Treasurer Draw
for Months Interest on Bonds.

City Treasurer Donovan and City
Attorney Forsythe on Friday discov-
cred that the sewer bonds were all
dated March LIST, and that interest
on the $4,000 began on that date.
1t will be April 9th before the bonds
reach Chicago, as they were forward
ed yesterday. BY that time the in
terest at per cent will have amount
ed to sos.
In the opinion of the city attorney
it will be justifiaIble under the cir
cumstances for City Treasurer Don
ovan to draw on the Chicago brokers
for $4S,20S, as there is little justice
in the bond brokers enjoying the
profit on that amount for over a
month before the CITY has had any
use of the funds.
The draft on Mcdonald & Mccoy,
therefore, was made for that amount
and the bonds sent to the correspon-
dent of the local bank at Chicago by
registered mail last night.
