The Prescott daily news., 1912-02-14

recently by a representative of the American Lumberman, the merchants of a town should con- bine in a special advertising campaign having for it's object to impress the public with the extent of the trading opportuni- ties afforded by it.
 Nor will large general state ments do the work. The adYer- Using must be made specific.
 In one advertisement the num- Der of places in town where first class clothing may be bought should be given and and if the various dealers can bring them selves to cooperate to such an extent a list of their names should be included in the ad.
 The series of advertisements should be continued to include every line of merchandising rep resented in the town.
 There can be no doubt of the benefit of such a campaign.
 In the case of the average town it is surprising how poor an understanding the people ln it's territory have of it's trading op- rtunities. The know of course that it has dry goods stores. groceries, drug stores, etc., but they do not realize the number of each.
 Here is an incident that illus trates the point
 A Missouri farmer was talk ing about sending away from his local town for his groceries.
 Well" said the farmer, II just about have to do it. There's not much chance for a choice here in our town"
 How many grocery stores have you?" he was asked.
 "Oh, three or four, I reckon" ," he answered.
 No more than that?" insisted his questioner.
 Maybe there are. 1 haven't ever stopped to figure it out dei- nitly."
 Well, let's do it right now. Get your telephone directory and we'll go through the list"
 The result was that it was shown tbat the town, instead of having the three or four grocery stores the farmer had mentioned poSSeSSd an even dozen.
 So you see," said his visitor, you have a wider choice here at home than you thought"
 The farmer seemed impressed.
 Yes, "he said: II hadn't even thought of there being that many here. This is the first time I've ever had the thing put up to me in just that shape It makes the local market look better. Now that 1 know I've got twelve chances to get what I want and at the right prices it don't seem so necessary to send away"
 The interviewer had started away when the farmer called af- ter him
 Say" he exclaimed, why wouldn't the local merchants do well to advertise just such infor- nation as we've found? It's the the same with my neigh bor as it was with me. They don't know how many chances there are to get the right goods and the right prices in the little town there. They we just fallen into the habit

order reads, "all of the moneys due
them shall be turned over to them for
their own use, superintendent will
ask for authority in each particular
