The Trustworthiness of Modern
Business.

Retail trade has undergone a great
change within comparatively recent
years. The general spirit of old
fashioned trade was that of the horse
jockey. There were the goods, you
could look them over all you wanted
to, just as you could feel the horses
spayins and look at his teeth. But
it was up to you to find the defects.
The modern merchant looks at him.
self as practically supply agent for
the public. 1t is not for his interest
to give them any goods they will not
like, because if he loses his clients.
He is then anxious to describe his
goods to the last detail, so that his
customers may know just what they
want.
Consequently he uses the newspaper
advertisement regularly, as u BUSH
ness agent uses daily or weekly re-
port to his clients or superiors. The
man who makes the most complete
reports, giving details with the most
sincerity and intelligence, is the man
who gets the trade.
Also, people who overlook the
regular reports that their purchasing
agents make in the newspaper adver-
tsements, are in the position of a
client who does not watch what his
agent is doing for him. and does not
follow ct deYelOpments,
