the reasons Tor the increased
amount of trade that is annnu-
ally drifting from us Dc we
ever try 60 solve the problem us
to Just how this is accomplished
by the larger concerns all over
this land of ours: think all
have given this matter a great
deal of attention and in the end
given it up without satisfact.
Dry solution
There are numerous causes
for this drifting trade that
properly belongs in the home
town. As people prosper they
naturally become more indepen-
dent and selfish. They forget
the kind acts that the home
merchants did for them when
they really were in need of
credit basis. That is so long
ago that they have outlived
their gratitude. Then l can
afford something better and en-
tirely different than Mrs. Jones
got down town the other day
and If | send to the city for it
no one else IN town viii have
one just like it. A thousand
such reasons might be named
for the drifting Of our trade.
The fact that it is drifting
and that the habit is growing
will be denied by no casual OBJ
server. Now who is getting
this surplus? The wide awake
business men who are pushing
for it. How do they do this
successfully? BY Systematically
and eternalIy advertising their
wares.
There is not a successful mer.
chant today who will not give
due credit to advertising as the
key to his successful business
career. Heads OF department
torres figure an Increased
amount for advertising every
year. 1t pays them or they
would not do it, They think
just as much of their dollar as
does the smaller merchant
The time has passed into the
dark ages when you can sit in
your store and expect your
share of the trade without Civ
ing the public an invitation
through the columns of the
papers to call and examine your
stock. Your neighbor is push.
ing his business to the front N
that way and will certainly in
terest some who have been trad
ing with you,
Can you as a business man
name one in your personal
knowledge that went after trade
IN any community with syste-
matte advertising that failed to
get it? He is always the leader
in his community. He gets the
trade because be is eternally
soliciting it and if he has busi-
ness tact and ability he holds it..
We are sorry to state that
this city has few business men
within her borders whose name
in the local papers in connec
tion with a neat appeal for a
share of the trade, would prob
ably cause them to have fit.
They never thought OF such a
thing. Yet these same men will
tell you that trade is not as
good in Falls Oity as it was a
few years ago. We wonder
why! Is it not possible that
the fellow who has been asking
persistently for a share of the
trade has finally captured some
one else's portion?
Falls City is the best town in
the state of her size and yet the
merchants are certainly lacking
along this line. We will call
your attention to just one town
and much poorer business
