Ideas for Market DAYS.

That the market day" idea Is be-
coming decidedly popular in the coun-
try is indicated by the fact that the
merchants Of dozens of western towns
have adopted the plan lately. Re
ports from these places, which have
been giving the market day" plan a
trial, indicate that 1t is giving salts
faction to dealers and to their
patrons. Like any other innovation
tthe success of the establishment of a
market day depends almost entirely
upon the interest which it evokes and
the sustained energy that is en-
ployed IL giving 1t a distinctive value
to producers. The merchants will get
'out of the plan no more nor less than
they put into it. If the arrangements
made afford the assurance that pa
irons will find improved facilities for
the disposal of their products it is GER
tain to prove a drawing feature. If
1T is employed simply as a plan for
drawing a crowd of farmers to town
to spend their money, it is equally
certain that the ultimate result will
be unsatisfactory, If not seriously
detrimental to future business rela-
tions. 1t is good policy not to go into
a scheme of this kind until satisfied
that conditions are right for its sue
cess, and once undertaken, to push it
for all Il is worth. Make 1t worth
while for customers to come from a
distance for the day, so that they will
be ready to assist in the perpetuation
of the plan A great deal depends on
starting right" and, once having pop
ularized the idea to keep up sustained
enthusiasm by providing improved
facilities for caring for the increased
trade which it develops.
