CITY STORE NEWS
THE NEWS FROM THE STORES.

THE NEWS FROM THE STORES.
The relation of the merchant to
his public is much like that of the
newspaper man to his audience.
The public, or at least the feminine
end of it, picks up the newspaper
with as much eagerness to learn the
news of bargains and of styles as to
see what the army is doing In Texas.
The merchant who does not respond
to this demand with a good story
about his offerings and values, meets
the same fate as the newspaper man
who does not know good piece OF
news when he meets 1t on the street.
When advertising fails to attract,
it is usually because the writer failed
to make it newsy. In this Spring
season there is a human interest story
in every retail business, story of
the f1eeting caprices of style, OF
shrewd bargaining by which the mer-
chant has protected his customers,
of overstocks that help family in
come 60 farther.
The public listens, Mr.. Merchant!
Are you there?
