...Inspiring Confidence.
Copyright 1912 by George Z. Patterson

ed to purchase and better satisfied
with their purchase, for confidence
is catching.
realpurpose of everythought-
ful merchant, who desires to build
a permanent business, is to estab-
lish confidence. Trade travels i'm
the path of confidence, and in pro-
portion as confidence in the store
increases, just in that proportion
does the business expand.
Confidence is just as essential to
success in advertising as in any
other branch of business. .Adver-
tisements that do not create con-
fidence are positive detriment to
the business. Exaggeration in ad-
vertising always tend to shatter
confidence. 1t may ,resnlt'in some
extra sales, but the after effect is
bad.
Truthful advertising does more
to inspire confidence in a business
than anything else. In fact truth
ful advertising, good goods and
good treatment establish perma-
nent confidence, SO essential to
permanent business, which should
! be the goal of every merchant.

Confidence has been defined as
the act of placing firm trust or re-
lance on any person or thing.
The elements of confidence or
trust enter into every activity Of
life.
We find that in business no sale is
ever consummated except through
confidence. Before purchase is
made from a merchant there is a
feeling created, knowingly or un-
knowingly, in the mind Of the Gus
toner that the merchants reliable,
that his goods are good goods and
that he is willing to warrant them
as such. Confidence in a mer-
chant, his store, and his goods is
not created alone by good goods
and personal warranties, but
model store in appearance, courte-
Gus treatment and the determine
ton to serve customers all tend to
establish confidence in the eyes Of
the public.
A first essential in business is
that each merchant and his selling
force have confdence,in the goods
forsale. Ifthey havecon6dence
customers are more easily infuenc

TRAFFIC IN GIRLS

cit is fact that there are now
scattered throughout practically
every section of the United States
a vast number of men and women
(not less than fifty thousand}
whose sole occupation consists in
enticing, tricking and ,coercing
young women and girls into i'm
moral lives. These creatures make
merchandise of womanhood, and
do big, thriving business
DON'T KNOW DANGER.
Slew young girls know the dan
ger of going unattended to cafes,
skating rinks and dance halls.
Jane Adams says truly: In these
places gather the professional
women. of the street, the men and
women, procurers of new recruits,
and crowds of imm oral young men
who go to these places for the
special purpose of meeting de-
praved young girls. 1t is here the
white SLAYER seeks lar her. VIC
tim and find their most fruitful
fields There is simply no means
the slavers will not employ to Sc
cure their victim, and once in the
power of these vampires it is sell
dom that they escape.
"The promise Of marriage, and
suggested elopement is often an
effective means of hiring girl
away from her home.
"The white SLAYER is not type
of humanity so distinct that they
can be distinguished from others
about them. In this lies the chief
danger. The white SLAYER may be
a rufian, but seldom is. He may
be polished and genteel man OF
middle life, or young man, cul.
tured and polite, or she. may be 6
matronly-looking woman, gentle
refined and motherly-a woman
almost any girl would trust.
"These traffckers in girls are

which are the chief centers O
trade, and their business is no
only amply financed but it is 81

the pulpit at Alex Erwin Metho-
dist Church in Nashville Sunday
morning, August 3, the subject OF
his lecture being "The Traffic in
Girls" DIR. Atkins spoke from
the pulpit through the courtesy OF
the pastor, Rev. Cullen L. Garter.
DIR, Atkins said in part as follows:
II have but one purpose in COM
ing here today and that is to enlist
you in the greatest battle the
world has ever known-the great
war on the social evil-that is now
on in this and almost every coun-
try of the globe. Not only the
United States Government, but
men and women in high social po-
.sitions, men and women of culture
and refinement, men and women OF
the highest intelligence, with the
fullest opportunity for thorough
investigation of the subject, have
secured unmistak able proof that
every day young women and girls
are not only being sold into hope
less bondage, but held in slavery
and degradation worse than death.
Il could place witness after wit
ness on this platform until you
grew weary of testimony, but Il
will call only two.
"Hon. Edwin w. Sims, United
States District Attorney at CHI
cago, says: The recent examlna-
tion of more than two hundred
white slaves by the office OF the
United States District Attorney
hes brought to light the fact that
tliterally thousands Of innocent
girls from the country districts
are every year trapped into life
of hopeless slavery and degrade
tion because their parents 90 not
know conditions as they exist, and
how to protect their daughters
from white slave traffic, who have
reduced the art of running girls to
q national and an international
curse
81 want you to mark the WORD
nnocent.' Many think that al
girls 90 only voluntarily into life
of hopeless slavery.
"The active campaign OF educa'
ton and law enforcement along
these lines, which has been going
ON for some time in the States
north of us, has driven many O
the white slave agents out OF tina
section and they are coming-ll

EDUCATION A REMEDY.
"Cliford G.. Roe, who is perhaps
the best informed man in North
America on the white slave traffic,
says: There is just one way, and
only one way to solve the social
evil problem and that is education
education in the home, heschool,
the municipality, the State and the
government
"He is undoubtedly right in be-
lieving that nothing short of a
general knowledge of these things
can pave the way for the extermin-
alton of this monster evil of our
civilization, butt am also convinc-
ed that men and women in the
churches will never give them
selves to a careful study of these
great problems until the love which
