overcrowded Fields.

The growing seriousness of the mail
order houses cutting into the trade of
the country merchants no doubt will
bring about a change in their methods
Of doing business. The keepers of
stores in small cities and towns must
change from obsolete ways and adopt
modern mercantile methods, or seek
some other vocation.
In the snail towns the expenses Of
conducting business are less than
in the large city, and while it may be
true that goods cannot be bought fo1
the prices paid by the big city dealers,
and freight rates in some cases may
be higher, conditions could be bet
tered if the merchants would only set
about to meet competition as they
should.
A district containing an average
population can support only limited
number of stores. Too often it is
the cas- that there are more stores
than is needed to supply the wants
of the community. Such condition
is caused chiefly by those who desire
to enter mercantile life, exercising
poor judgment in selecting q location
They enter an oyer-crowded town and
fail to follow sound good business
principles. The result is failure, OF
a mere struggle and an injury to the
interests of the town in which they
are located,

Give Charm to Town.

Attractive streets, well paved, good
sidewalks, clean appearing buildings,
signs arranged well, all go to add a
charm to a town. One of the things
that often gives strangers to town
a bad impression is the loose manner
in which storekeepers and others take
care of the exterior of their places.
Often not sign about the place is
to be found to designate the character
of the business carried on, and this
can only be known by a peep through
the open door. The windows are
often arranged in such way as to
give little knowledge of the goods
handled. During the summer time
awnings hanging low over the walks,
so the passer-by must stoop to avoid
them, are found in many places. Just
a little care is needed to improve
along these lines. An attractive sign
does not cost much and is good in.
yestment for the storekeeper. Clean.
illness in front of business places
makes a good impression. In fact
strangers will seldom enter store ii
