Climbers Booster Buttons" If the va
lfIuus manufacturers will appreciate
the great opportunity such a day ami
suck a plan will offer them to boost
the home product, and those who can
! if they will. get up souvenir samples

the immense advertising yalne 10 the

experience for the people of Cairo;

Flour and Pills.
Suppose for instance that l010 peO-
pie visit the Halliday Milling Co.
plant and each one brings away tiny
souvenir sack of -four, sufficient to
make a. small pan of biscuit; a good
big percentage probably will therea'-
ter forever use Sylph brand instead
Of Il brand made in some other city,
and so on down the line of Cairo'a
manufacturing plants. Its that per
sistent push. get there concern who
place their goods in the hands Of the
people who are the factors today in
trade competition. Why gentlemen,
as an illustration-just this week
I've been distributing samples Of pills
made in st Louis together with liter
ature regarding their merit, etc, and
these very goods, even to the sam
pies come through the Schuh Drug
TO, who are the manufacturers. T4c
Schulz Drug Co distribute these |
goods for that St Louis house, and I /
know from actual experience that |
.hese ST. Louis pills are not as COOL |
rs Schuh's pills. These samples and
hat literature of the ST. Louis prod
let will sell more goods for them in
me week than Schulz will sell of his
1wn article in a month.
Comment.

speaking of Mr. Van Osten's refe'-
.uce TO the St Louis merchants in
railroad fare to out-oftown
people who bought certain quaint
) of goods, that he had been shown
/ list of the visitors who had cone
o st. Louis in response to this offer,
md in that list was the names e.
Is Cairoites, showing that this meth
ID was effective in drawing trade.
He did not like the method, however.
because it meant, in effect. to SCI
goods cheaper to outside people tina
o home people to The extent of the
are that was refunded. 1t was not
air tor home people.
Charles Feuchter desired to correct
Mr. Van Ostens' impression that tho
~ million dollars in Cairo banks
vas idle money. He said about s.
'er cent of this money was busy for

acturing firms
