The Time to Hustle.

waits for trade to come to him, is
doomed to disappointment, for
while he Is waiting some enterpris
ing fellow gets up and goes after it.
Dong business, in these progress
sive days, means more than having
a stock of goods In store, with a
sign displayed announcing who they
belong to. The people don't care
whether John Smith attempts to
run a store or farm, in fact they
have no interest in John Smith,
unless he has something to sell at a
bargain, which they want and then
they don't know anything about it,
unless he makes the fact known.
Some merchants seem to be salts
fed when they are ''holding their
own" in business. They fail to
take into account the fact that the
same volume of sales today repre-
sents less goods than two years ago,
because prices are higher, and the
purchasing power of money pro-
portionately reduced.
Unless the volume of business has
increased from 10 to 90 per cent, a
falling off in trade mas occurred,
and this is never pleasant thing to
contemplate.
The man who has reached the
height of ambition in business,
should be ready to retire from the
field. and make room for an enter
prising successor.
The dead merchant is detriment
to any community, and especially
in these times of great prosperity
when hustling for business brings
larger returns than ever before.
The time to hustle is always now;
not at the close of the season when
a lot of unreasonable goods are car
ried over and then forced on the
market at half price, but DOW,
while the goods are fresh, and when
they will sell at a profit.
There are stocks of goods mould
ing in Easements and attics, which
might have been converted into
money long ago had they been Of
fered to the public when seasonable
and in style. Don't wait until
January to sell goods at a loss,
which can be sold today at profit
il properly advertised.
The most effective way to reach
the trade is to take horse and
/ buggy and call on the people with
samples and prices. If every mer-
chant in town would do this he
would increase his trade % pei
cent in 80 days. ~
But this is impractical, and the
next best medium is the family
/ newspaper which goes into the home
every day, and which is religously
read. The Herald is this kind of a
paper, and it brings results in
variably.
| This don't mean that all newSpa.
per advertising pays, for it don't,
because some of it is so injudicious
that it isn't worth the space it oc,
cupies.
But intelligent advertising which
says something about the goods and
always names price, is as sure to
win as time is to pass. If you don't
believe it, watch the Boston store
sale, now beng advertised, and you
will discover that every lady in
town is posted, and you will find q
multitude of them in the store
while the sale is progressing.
II you want to test it, in small
way, place an ad In the Herald for
a month offering something at a
bargain, and watch results. It pays
to hustle for business all the time,
| and no businessman can afford to
wait for trade which he can secure

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and puriher in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system

Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you

further acts as a natural and eminently

OMAHA Lone PRIMARY MART
My Market in Country that is Absolutely
Of This Nature.
CHICAGO NO LONGER COMPLETE GUIDE
In Corn and Oats Windy City Loses
Prestige for Setting the Mark
that Others Must
Follow

Time was when Chicago set the mark for
the price of oats and corn in Omaha. The
Omaha market kept the price Of these
commodities about cents a bushel under
the Chicago price, the freight from Omaha
to Chicago being about that amount. The
growing southern market for these grains
has almost eliminated Chicago as a factor,
and very frequently the farmer can &C.
tually get more cents bushel for his grain
in Omaha than he can in Chicago. Just at
present the Omaha price of oats is N cents
under Chicago. Corn is similarly affected
by the southern trade. AS far as wheat Is
concerned Minneapolis and Chicago are still
influential factors in making the Omaha
price.
Omaha is the only market in the country
which is wholly and absolutely primary In
nature, that is, which gets all OF it's grain
direct from the country. In 1896 II received
$4,000 bushels OF grain. Other markets
received more, but their receipts are swelled
by purchases from other primary points
II from chicago's. St. Louis and Mime
apolis receipts should be deducted the
amount OF grain received from Omaha and
other western markets a big difference
would be made.
Omaha ON the Burlington.
Referring to the idea in some quarters
that the Burlington last year hauled an in
creased number OF cars OF grain to Kansas
City and less number to Omaha, Secre-
taTy McVann of the Omaha Grain exchange
said;
The facts are that with an admittedly
! lighter movement OF grain in this territory
than the previous year, the Burlington II
| 1905 hauled to Omaha 200 cars more thai
| in 1865. omaha's position on the Burlins
1 ton has been strengthened by the purehas
| Of the Ferguson line OF elevators by tn
| Updike Grain company, and Il is presumed
that the reported acquisition OF an integes
i'm the Central gTanaries by the Nye-schnei
| der-Fowler company will further Strengthen
its position In the total amount Of graf
| Omaha had 100000 bushels more than 4
1895, while Kansas City lost an equa
| amount.
