TIRE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS N Retail


IRE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS m RETAIL
MERCHANDISING.
The merchant who tries to do bust
ness by the methods employed a gem
Grafton ago discovers that he is sadly
behind the spirit Of progress. He IS
boring with a gimlet, while his wide
awake, progressive rival is using an
auger Cor steam drill), and with The
inevitable result that he is falling be-
hind in the race.
The merchant who has merchandise
to sell and calmly sits down for trade
to come to him is placing himself in
the category of has beens," and he
wonders why his active COM
petitor IS making progress while he
is making none.
The most successful merchants Of
the day are those who give the widest
publicity to their business. They
have merchandise to sell and they
avail themselves Of every faculty to
to make it known.
It is not the merchant who is up
to the stirring times in which we live
that complains Of slow business, but
the man who asserts that spending
money to give the widest publicity to
the merchandise he has to sell IS .
waste Of time and money, who is
being relegated to the rear.
We are living in an age Of energy
and push and the laggard soon finds
his natural level, and that it is not in
the front rank. The advantages Of
wide publicity are so manifest that
none but the Wilfully blind fail TO APP
preciate them.
The man who says, 7 have mer-
chandise to sell and if anybody wants
to buy it be will come to me- is
pursuing a course that will sooner
or later result in his losing out in the
race for success.

To make your store popular with
all people. earn the reputation of be-
ing the most obliging merchant ii

A man is judged by his clothes, a
store by it's merchandise. Keep up
appearances.
Persistence is the prime factor of
successful advertising
The way q merchant treats a Gus
toner has a great deal to do with
the way the customer feels toward a
store. Honey catches flies, vinegar
never"
Making merchandise sell is the real
problem of general merchants. Adj

sheriff and three years later was
chosen mayor, and was reelected in
1890. 1t was Mayor Grant who made
the telephone and telegraph conpa-
mics take down their overhead wires
The wires formed a network over the
city, interfering with fremen and
forming a danger and nuisance
When the subways were ready and
the wires did not come down Mayor
Grant settled the controversy In a
characteristic way. He went out with
gangs of linemen, laborers and axmen
and chopped down the poles and tore
down the wires.
In 1894 he was again candidate
for mayor but met with defeat at the
polls He then withdrew from active
participation in politics
Mayor Grant was man of fine ply
steal proportions and was big intel

took deep interest in trotting horses
and was a member of several golf

A few miles east of Salina on the
Smoky river there is an old dam that
has been out of commission for many
years The dam is on the farm of
Charles B. Kirkland, former repre-
sentative from this county, and for
some years was to operate mill on
Mr.. Kirtland's farm. The Peoples
Light, Fuel and Power company,
groaning under the heavy expense of
the coal for fuel, is making arrange
ments to use this dam for it's power
and may in the near future dispense
with the use of coal altogether except
in emergencies, such as floods, and
other troubles that come to water
motor machinery. An expert on
water power machinery is now in
vestigating the possibilities at the
dam.

old coins in a oarret.

A discovery of some historical inter
est was made at the home of Mrs
Margaret Merritt in Lawrence, in the
unearthing of a quaEsity of American
coins considerably over century old,
together with paper currency issued
payable to Henry Clay and John
Quincy Adams. The find developed
from the discovery of an old-fashioned
leather wallet which had been for
gotten and undisturbed for years in
an old bureau drawer in the Merritt
garnet. Probably the most interesting
pieces are an American half dollar
dated 1907, a dollar greenback issued
by the Bank of Illinois July 2, 1887,
payable to Henry Clay, and bill for
the same amount issued January 1,
1888, to ]. @. Adams or bearer by the
River Raisin and Lake Erie Railroad
company of Monroe, Mich. The col
lection will probably be presented to
the state historical society.

Moth infected Corn Killing the Cattle.

The recent loss of live stock by
farmers in Chase county is causing
much uneasiness among stockmen
who now have cattle which they are
feeding for the winter market The
fatalities are said to be caused from
a kind of moth which infects the corn
in many localities here. The worm
burrows into the corn leaving a light,
brown, chaff-like substance almost as
fine as dust and this acts as a poison
when eaten by the stock. Many of
the farmers are greatly alarmed over
the disease although comparatively
few have yet lost cattle. At Florence,
in Marion county, the same disease is
said to have killed many head of cat
tie for farmers who are feeding their
stock corn.
