business, yet are always pleasant and

for any article they may not have in

their stocks are up'to.date and free
from shelf-worn goods. These men
mako the humblest customers feel well
come in their stores. and particular at
tention is paid to waiting on children,
giving them even better measure and
quality than their elders would re-
ceive. And these men are advertisers.
Their ads in the local papers are
changed regularly and show time and
study. They meet the mail order man
more than half way in special sales
and clearing OF odds and ends. Here
is an instance where there is no legi-
innate excuse for a person sending
away after goods. And the people do
not. Very few articles of general mer-
chandise are shipped into that city.
The buyer and seller are working in
harmony to their own betterment and
advantage.
But look at the other side. The city
which we have in mind has one hard
ware and one furniture store. Both
have fairly good stocks for the size OF
their circle of trade. but just step into
