WHAT ONE MERCHANT DID.

From Publishers Auxiliary.
One country merchant writes the
Home Trade League as follows:
"Since l have adopted the city idea
of notwithstanding new goods
with prices, and at the same time
making known what 1 desire to dis
pose of at or about cost to make room
for new goods-my sales have not
only increased very largely with reg
ular customers, but 1 have secured
many new ones. Not only tnis-in-
stead of the farmers wives spending
from a half hour to an hour and a
half looking about the store to see
what there is in stock they may want
and taking the clerks time who other
wise would have a chance to sell
goods to several other customers, they
come in and ask for the very articles
they have seen advertised and which
they have already decided they do
want from seeing the advertisement
in the weekly paper, and the result
is I have been able to dispense with
one OF my clerks to whom 1 was pay
ing $500 per year"
This merchant further says that
this saving of clerk hire expended in
