KEEPING UP.To.pArG.
Pertinent Suggestions to storekeepev
As to Doing Business Rightly.

Greatest successes in the retail
field. have been made by men who
have employed system in all branche,
OF their business. Men OF antiquated
methods who have made successes
would have made moro money hac
they been systematic in their bust
ness. Upto-date methods q book
keeping. a system for checking over
goods as they arrive and as they &c
out when the orders are filled are most
essential Stock should be kept IN
such a way that the merchant does
not have TO waste considerable time
before being able TO know whether
he has any need of any line TO M
stocks.
One excellent way IN which the
country merchant can keep his ideas
up-to-date is by spending a day OF
two each year in visiting the large
cities and studying the methods EN-.
ployed by the firms engaged in his
line OF business. A day on occasion,
ally In some strange town where .
study OF windows and store interiors
and methods may be made Is more
than helpful.
In the home town one can never gel
away from the practices Of his fellow
tradesmen. unless he benefits by ex
periences had elsewhere. In a strange
place we are OF the gazing crowd
and we see things from a different
point OF view than when at home.
Some criticism may point out Q
fault that We have been guilty OF .
hundred times and never noticed. and
a criticism OF a stranger sometimes
forces US TO realize that we can i'm
prove in our own methods and We
profit by the suggestion.
A country town storekeeper ma,
learn much in a city but much q II
may be little suited to rural condi
lions. The small town merchant needi
some lessons from progressive mem
bers OF his own class. Remember
that there are many who can eIcel
US in some ways. II We fail 10 keer
alive. some more enterprising com
petitor will beat us out
