How Would You Answer?
The following interesting
letter was read at the recent
meeting of the Beatrice Retail
Merchants association:
Gentlemen: I respectfully
submit to you the following
list of questions: Do you pat
ronizs peddlers Or encourage
your wife, mother or sister to
do so? Is'your wife Il member
Of q Larkin Soap club? oycu
dump your ashes in the street
ia front Of your residence? Do
you feel that your neighbor
sho is in the same line Of
BUSINESS as you, is an impostor,
l crook, and fool, and has TO
license to exist? Do you think
that money paid for printers
I ink in sensible newsv aGyertis-
ing, is thrown away?
Do you buy any portion of
G 'ods for your family Use
watch you do not handle in
your own store from out Of
town? Do you kick about
what the other fellow does and
damn the administration be-
cause things are not run &C.
cording to your idea?
Do you dump your waste
paper at the rear of your store,
set fire to it and let the ashes
and burning papers be caught
up by the winds and carried
away thus endanger!ng your
own and your neighbours prop
erty, and the causing the
streets and alleys to look as
though a scavanger was un-
known?
Do you curse the city admin
istration because of the filth in
the alleys, and yet make no eff
fort to clean or keep clean your
own section of alley?
Do you contribute your por-
tion to the whirlpool of waste
paper, straw and excelsior.
which can be seen whirlipg and
flying in all directions on the
streets of our beautiful city on
almost any windy day?
Do you subscribe to foreign
collection agencies on the rep
resentation of stranger, and
turn down the committee from
your retailers association by
spying: ooh! l have tried
several of those schemes, and
they have never been success
full, when you prove to me that
you are going to do things then
perhaps will join"
Do you condemn the farmer
for patronizing the catalogue
houses, then when a CONNER
cial traveller who spends his
money in your hotels, livery
barns and so on, quotes you a
price on an article, do you
reach for your Butler Bros,
catalogue, or that of some other
wholesale catalogue house, and
quote the salesman from it. on
perhaps some inferior article?
My brothers unless we can
answer all Of the above ques.
lions In the negative, we are
not doing all we can for q Big.
