NEW YORK.-A number of business
~ houses in New York are using the
telephone instead of circulars for ad-
vertising purposes. Probably this will
meet the approval of Uncle Sam. If
adopted wherever practicable it might
extensively relieve the strain on the
postal service. A tail dry goods
merchant receives a consignment of
choice laces. 1t takes only few min
utes to ring up two or three dozen
of his best customers who would be
especially interested in such goods
and ask them to call and examine the
laces. The flattery of such an invita-
ton appeals strongly to many persons.
Circularization has been carried to
such an extent that much of its eff
fectiveness Is frequently lost and
many circulars never reach the buyer
to whom they are addressed, whereas
the telephone call can usually be a
direct communication. A haberdasheS
telephones his patrons to note his
