How Local Merchant Can Kill
Mail Order Competition

Mail order business is that department of business
whereby through the medium of advertising merchandise is
sold direct to the consumer by mail This business has
grown in leaps and bounds Why? Because the local
chant does not keep pace with the increasing demands of
ever increasing population
The five big mail order houses of Chicago receive
average of $50 900 orders day And this bus
ness comes from communities whose natural trace belongs
to the local merchant The local merchant must make
effort to hold his business and get business the big
concerns will make greater nroads He must beat the mail
order houses their game He do this by handling
honest goods honest prices and telling about the goods in
such way that people will believe him. Fault-fndng and
appealing to local pride are of no avail
1t the careful systematic elaborate and half truthful
description in mail order advertising that has built the big
mail order business If the local merchant will be careful
systematic elaborate and truthful in all his local advertising
he will win The advertiser who truthful will in the end
get the business.
The public know what merchant has to sell
unless he tells about it. There is better friend of the
merchant and better of publicity than the local
paper Every merchant who carries systematic adver-
tising campaign in his local paper properly and honestly
describing what he has for SALE will find his business in no
way affected by mail order competition.

A large display ad may be
found elsewhere in this issue
announcing the Big Fourth of

Large colored posters are con-
spicuously displayed about town
announcing the Big Fourth of
July Celebrations at Williams
and Flagstaff, and all inviting the
people of Winslow to come to
those towns and have a good
time on the National Holiday.
Each one seems to want to be
the most enthusiastic and show
why the Winslow people should
come to their town to celebrate.

ROUNDHOUSE ROAD WILL
BE- BUILT SHORTLY
Council May Call For Bids on Work
At Next Meeting

putting in the new city water
main from Clear Creek to Wins
low for the Santa Fe has made an
assertion that he felt confident
the rood could be built through
and completed for 81, 500 approx
imately. He further states that
while he is in this section of the
country with his large force of
men, horses and machinery he
would be able to do the work for
that amount.
The road should and eventually
must be built, why not do it now
when you can get q reasonable
figure on the Wonk? Let our citi-
zens join hands with the Council
and the Santa Fe in putting the
road thru and you will see what
little effort it will take to COM
plete the work Of building the
road thru.
All contractors should bid on this
work, present their bid and the
city dads" should award the
contract Immediately to the best
and lowest bidder.

HOUSES WILL
BE- NUMBERED

AS advocated by the Mail some
time last fall, all the business
houses and residences of Wins
low will be numbered in the next
few weeks as per an order of the
city council. In addition to plac-
ing numbers on all buildings,
additional street signs will be
put up and the first expense of
putting the system in operation
will be bourne by the city, the
contract price being 25c per
house number Of three figures.
Mr.. Lloyd Day, in the local San
ia Fe offices, is now preparing
the town plat and inserting the
numbers for each building, and
expects to have the same COM
pleted for presentation to the
council at their next regular
meeting.
This improvement, considered
but a small matter by a number
Of citizens, shows the progres-
siveness of our city council, and
q willingness to do things. The
benefits to be derived from the
new system cannot be overesti-
mated, and will be a great re-
lief to all delivery boys, stran-
gers and even old residents of
the community in locating par
ties about town.
Let the good work go on.
One thousand people can be
seated at the Airdome.

Public enthusiasm is running
high at present regarding the
road to the new roundhouse and
favorable comment can be heard
on all sides; in fact it is the topic
of the day among Wnslow citi-
zens.
The property owners along the
particular street (Third) should
take enough interest to keep the
ball rolling. The business men
should be interested from the
standpoint that they can make a
bid for the peoples business that
will build homes in the vicinity
of the new roundhouse instead
of leaving the field wide open for
other stores and business places
locating in that vicinity. Spread
out Mr.. Merchant and do all the
business you can, never rest on
your oars but keep on looking
for more business.
The next regular meeting of
the Town Council takes place on
Tuesday evening, July 9Th and
we are sure the matter will come
before that honorable body for
consideration.

ABOUT ARIZONA
CATTLE SHIP MENTS

It will be hard to tell until the
figures are all in just how many
cattle will be shipped from Ari-
zona this year but it is a cinch that
the authority VINO figured Is, 900
head is away below the proper
number. Louie Degen, of Degen
Bros, cattle buyers, says: Il
know Of more than $4,000 head
myself, that will be shipped and
$50 to 200 thousand is probably
nearer the correct figure" At
any rate Arizona is making the
cleanup of her life and it is no
fool guess that there will be a lot
of grass to spare next year if
rainfall is normal. -Tombsonte

The sidewalks in certain dis
tricts about town are in very
poor condition, number of
houses have no street curbing in
front Of their places and a good
number have no sidewalks at all.
Although these same walks and
curbing have been ordered put in
by the council and the
property owners notified, noth-
ing has been done to obey orders.
In the very heart of the business
district we can find the worst
cases of the negligence. If the
owners of these properties frank
ly refuse to remedy this condi-
ton the council should take steps
and have the same installed for
them and make the charge

good results will follow.

GYPSUM MINES
DOING BUSINESS

F. M. French, president of the
Navajo Gypsum & Fertilizer Co.,
Of this city, left last week for
Los Angeles, where he will make
his home in the future, the bust
ness interests of the company re-
quiring his presence in that city.
M. W. Dadey, vice president of
the company, is looking after the
company's interests here.
At present the company is
shipping gypsum at the rate of
about 80 cars weekly, that is
lump gypsum for plastering pur-
poses. Shortly they will com
mence to ship the pulverized
commodity which is used for fer
tilizing, and men interested in
the company predict a big busi-
ness this year,
The company is the owner of
thousands of acres Of this valu-
able "gyp" land, which crops
out on the surface in numerous
places right at the edge of town,
and the supply is almost mex
haustible. At least, it will take
many, many years to mine it all.
Aside from the Navajo Gyp-
sum Co., there is another COM
pany operating here, being owned
by Los Angeles business men,
and carloads of gypsum are being
shipped daily.
There is no question-you can
not keep good town down, and
WinsloW is slowly but surely
coming to her own.

A ROYAL FROLiC.
NapoIeon's Practical joke insuItCd

Empress Eugene.
A fondness for joking is often a trait
Of royal pcrsonages, who perI APPS find
in nonsense a cheerful relief from the
decorous tedium Of their official ap.
p%earancc. The New York Times re.
calls an instance in which the beauti.
full Empress Eugenie Of France was
victimiZed, with the connivance Of he;
husband, Napoleon ILL.,, by al amusing
puntomime.
A special embassy had arrived IN
Paris from Burma. Three days after
it's arrival the court vas notified that
the solemn recc, ion Of the mission by
their mAjesties would take place on
the following evening Mt the Tuileries.
At the appointed hour Napoleon and
Eugene. surrounded by all the princi'
pal members Of their household. took
their places upon the dais in the throne
room.
The emperor gave orders for the in
PRODUCTION Of the embassy. the folding
doors at the farther end Of the great
hall were thrown open. and a number
OF white robed and Enthusiastically tur-
baned individuals. some Of them with
long. gray boards. crossed the thresll-
old. threw themselves PROSTATE upon
the ooor and began to crawl toward
the throne with the most e%xtravagant
contortions.
-. The tax upon the gravity Of the gen
tlcmen and ladies present was SO great
that only the frowns Of the empress
as usual. most concerned that proper
dignity and gravity should prevail
prevented them from laughing out
right.
Two-thirds Of the way to the throne
the three venerable leaders Of the en-
bassy stopped wriggling and began to
turn somcrsanlts. Engcnie evidently
believed that to be the proper method
Of showing respect in Burma. for when
the ordinarily impressive emperor be-
gan also to laugh she demonstrated
with him for his want Of decorum in
tones that could be heard by those who
stood round the throne.
At that moment the most aged Of the
Burman ambassadors reached the foot
Of the throne in a final somersault that
landed him PROSTATE ut the feet of the
empress with such violence that his
headdrcss flew Off and with it. alas. his
long white beard. TO the astonished
gaze Of Eugene were revealed the fea-

Every one enjoyed the joke except

tears. declared that she had been cruel

following morning. Every one who be-
