Mr.. Merchant No. 2.

To compete with retail mai!
order houses, you must at least
be equally willing to convince
your customers that you are in
earnest ia every statement you
make.
There is probably no single
practice that will go further
with your customer than to
make your representation good,
than by taking bach goods with
out quibble aud returning the
money to a dissatisfied customer.
Do it cheerfully and without an
argument.
1t is impossible to build up a
good and lasting trade without
this practice. 1t is the Main
Root OF the Mail Order House
and would be to the Retail
Home Merchant if he cultivates
it.
Be just as honest in your self
answering as in your sell ques-
tioning. You must come down
to the point. If you cannot meet
the Retail Mail Order House
on any line of goods or any ar.
ticle, or do not want to do so,
then quit offering those things
for sale.
Suppose you have reached
the point in preparedness to
match the offer of any Mail
Order House and say: I will
match any offer of any Mail
Order House then People In
Large Numbers must know that
you are thus prepared before
you can expect the first few to
test your sincerity,
Therefore, if you shout from
the house tops for a solution of
the Retail Mail Order Problem
back will come the echo in
an answering chorus, ADVER

Political Proverbs.

Politics is'not a business; it
is a duty.
A bad candidate is the result
of careless citizenship.
A vote in the box is worth
two kicks against bosses.
The man who forgets to vote
has very little right to bemoan
bad government.
The man who is not proud of
his suffrage is not a source of
pride to community.
1t men were as jealous of re-
ligion as they are In their parti.
sanship there would be more
doing in church circles. Com

There is a cab horse which can be

gears through a false windpipe. The
animal had the heaves, and not only
made as much noise as a locomotive,
but his speed was reduced nearly half
because Of this difficulty. A veterina-

breathes as well as ever. The only
