4 Lesson For Merchants

There is a lesson for every
merchant in the experience told
by representative of a Chica-
go mail order house to a gather
ing of newspaper men up in
Iowa. He said the mail order
business depended entirely up
on advertising. he made one
remark that the mercha nts
should heed. He says they take
the local papers and direct
their special efforts to commu'
mites where the merchants are
not up-to-date advertisers. Il
the mail order man finds that
any line of business in any town
or city is not advertised, as for
instance, furniture, he said that
they food that territory with
their literature, and always with
results. He believed it true,
He said that country merchants
could greatly cripple the mai
order houses ii they would ad
vertise freely and in the right
manner. He said that every
advertisement should describe
the article to be sold and STATE
the price. Here is food foi
thought by merchants who feaI
the effect of mail order houses

Fat Woman rushesS Man.

Vandergrift, Pa, March IL
Abner McGary, a wealthy mer-
chant and retiring president Of
Vandergritt Council, is dying
at his home as a result of an ac-
cideut in the Apollo roller skat-
ing rink last night.
MCGary. who is a good roller
skater, notwithstanding he is
so years DID,, was showing his
skllfas a fancy skater when he
tripped and fell. Immediately
behind hims was a woman weigh.
ing over 300 pounds. neither
size nor age being any bar to
roller skating at Vandergrift.
The woman fell on McGary's
PROSTATE body, and in moment
he was being crushed under a
mass of struggling skaters.
When McGary was rescued he
was unconscious. An examina-
tion by a physician developed
that the mans pelvic bone was
crushed and that he has sus-
tanned other internal and dan
gerous injuries. Tonight Nc
Gary's condition is pronounced
as very serious. anu his physi
clans have little hope for his
secovery.
