The Grand Rapids Press occasionally
tells its readers points in advertising.
Recently, under the title of "a Lesson
in Advertising, it dealt cleyerly on
why mail order advertisements find
success easily in fields where ordinary
retailers find it difficult.
1t might be suggested to the retailers
that one of the most effective ways Of
solving the mail order problem and it
is problem that must be solved to
save the retail business in many locall-
ties is to study the methods Of the
mail concerns and to take advantage Of
the lesson that the latter teach.
The success Of the mail order houses
lies in the fact that they tell the people
what they have to sell and at what
price Thay advertise. This adyertis-
ing informs the customer where he can
get what he wants and at what cost
Often, through illustrations. it suggests
purchases that he had not thought of
and causes him to feel he wants. that
he did not know before. The result is
the stimulation of staple business and
the creation of new business.
The retail merchant, on the other
hand, often keeps to himself what he
has to sell. The customer has to 90 to
his store to find what he has and at
what price The merchant holds out
no tempting inducements. If the Gus
toner wants to come all the better, but
the merchant makes no special attempt
to get him.
Between merchant operating on
this plan and the mail order house,
using advanced advertising methods,
the mail order house has all the ad-
vantage The local merchant may have
on his shelves wares just as good or
better than those of the mail order
house and at a price as low or lower.
Yet if he does not let the people know
through the local newspaper they are
apt to go right by his store in order to
post letter to some distant concern to
order the same goods

Tariff Tax on Printed Matter Shown
to Be Good Thing.

The Philadelphia Record complains
of the tariff on books as "a tax on the

way on the mind of a free trader, for
he wants to buy everything where it
is the cheapest, no matter what be-

wages. Twenty-Five per cent. ad Va

language. On books printed in other

cost of paper being practically the

many these wOrkmen receive not more
than 80 per cent. of American wages.

printed matter in the English Ian

shipped over to Great Britain, where
no tariff bars this low priced compe-

The substantial part of the conces-

committed is to be found in the regula-

of the American officials upon whom

being sought to do something for
its improvement. 1t is still of a
national nature and location. Dur
ing our great Civil War it was
found to be of much use in differ
ent ways, especially when the rail-
roads were interrupted.
The Hon. John H. Bankhead,
member of Congress from Alabama,
has lately made a very able speech
in Congress upon the general sub
ject of roads. He thinks Congress
should take an interest in them.
The automobile though not a
desirable vehicle to some persons,
are becoming quite common upon
the country roads, and help to fill
them. and in some cases impedi-
ment is claimed. Within the past
week one of our leading Climber

SHOW FOR CHILDREN.
Gentry Bros Trained Animal Circus
Is Unique.

Gentry Brothers circus, or more
correctly speaking, trained animal
show, is in its way unique. AL
though the show is given in tent
beyond this there is little to sug-
gest the circus except, perhaps
the elephants and the camels.
The show, in its clean, and even
rich, settings, resembles a theatre
cal performance more than a circus.
The animals do their parts, in
some cases under silk flags and
on rich carpets. In fact, the
whole ring is carpeted. One thing
stands forth, the show is as clean
and tree from anything in any way
objectionable or dangerous as is
the opera in frst-cIass theatre.
No employe is allowed even to
swear, and ifone is heard using an
oath, a very rare thing by the way,
he is promptly discharged. AL
though the show is well worth
while for grown folks, it primarily
is children 5 entertainment, and
is conducted as such in every wav.
The trained animals include
dogs, over thirty Of them, and the
same number or more of horses
and ponies, several elephants and
perhaps the handsomest camel in
America. The ponies drill at the
word of command like a half COM
panys of regular cavalry; in fact
they do it better then some of the
mounted soldiers can guide their
mounts. To see a dozen horses
in ring by themselves, acting at
the word of command, as If each
one was mounted by a good rider,
is sight worth going far to see.
The music is good, and the
horses enjoy it. They go faster
or slower, just as the music does.
Only the dogs seem to dislike it.
Besides the animals are shown
a series of living groups reproduc-
ing various well-known statues.
The posers are all in white and
powdered to resemble marble.
Then there are the tumblers ana
the trick mule that set the little
ones in an uproar. But there is
nothing done in the air, nothing
in any way dangerous to life or
limb. Only one long leap is made
and that by very nervy little dog
from the top of ladder into a net.
The Gentry Show will exhibit
in Oakland, Friday, June 5th, Civ
ing two performances at and 8 D.
M. The usual street parade will
entertain the Youngsters hanging
on the front gate or trooping along
side for blocks, but the show must
be seen from the inside to be APP
preciated. AS a children's enter
tainment it is the best thing that
has been seen in this city for a
long time.
