CATALOGUE HOUSES
ADVERTISE. WHY NOT
THE LOCAL DEALER?

From time to time readers of
the Gazette-Times and other
papers of the country are present
ed with articles from the pens of
fertile minded men whose object
it is to show the wrong in pat
ronlzing the mail order houses.
Good reasons are. given, pro and
con, and the object Of this article
is not to discuss the right
and wrong of the situation, but
to touch on some of the reasons
which seem to bear weight in
favor of the catalog house as far
as Heppner is concerned.
In the first place, there are
three general merchandise stores,
two hardware stores, and a fur
niture store, in Heppner, all
carrying lines Of standard goods
and wares, and all doing a reas-
onably good business.
These houses are also carrying
advertising space in the local
paper, and herein lies the sub
ject matter for a comparison of
methods of the home merchant
and those of his business-grab-
bing rival, the mail order mer-
chant.
To treat briefly with the mail
order house let us look at the
method of advertising employed.
In the first place the magazine is
made use of to call the readers
attention to the location of the
business. The magazine is used
because of it's countrywide cir
culation, and a small ad in its
columns brings many inquiries
for catalogs, and thus does the
mail order house build up a great
mailing list. Once this list is
acquired, it is followed up with a
never ceasing string of advertis-
ing matter, with every article
carefully listed and numbered,
and always as many pictures of
their wares as their mammoth
catalogs can contain. And the
price is given particular mention
in big, bold-face type. This is
part of their plan for drawing
business by carrying it to the
freside of its customers. Their
are prepared to attract

the attention OF prospective trade
and it is seldom that one of their
books does not pay for itself many
times. Thus they have the evil
dence first hand that advertising
pays, for their business depends
entirely upon the catalogs and
other pamphlets sent out.
This system of business makes
it hard on the local dealer. He
is forced to extend credit, (often-
times to people who have just
sent their cash to the mail order
house) and finds it necessary to
stick" the man who pays cash
for his goods. Perhaps it is nee
essary to do this, but it looks
like the evil could be remedied to
some extent, at least.
Consider the home merchants S
method of advertising. He is
paying for an allotted space in
the paper, as all good merchants
should do, and is making what he
thinks IS good use of that space.
When the spring goods arrive he
marches to the print shop with
his copy announcing the arrival
of a new line of goods and invites
the public to come in and in
spect. I" There is nothing said
about the style, quality, price,
ETC., but ''the goods are here and
ready for your inspection" A
nice display is arranged in the
window, which is an invaluable
adjunct to the advertising busi-
ness, but not all of it by any
means, and nothing more is said
about the new goods. The town
people will be attracted to some
extent by the window display,
but how about the country Gus
toner who depends upon the
paper to keep him enlightened !?
He will not be attracted by the
window display, as it is out of
sight, but he will be attracted by
a good LIVE ad in the local paper
describing the articles, giving
the prices by all means, and
augmenting the mechanical ap-
pearance of the ad by putting in
some attractive cuts. A single
ad should not run for more than
one issue of a weekly newspaper
if the advertiser wishes to benefit
by his advertising. The reader
is interested in the ads the same
as he is interested in the news,
and news matter gets mighty
stale if allowed to run even two
issues. And again, the fact that
"the new goods have arrived"
does not attract the casual reader.
If it said Ladies and Misses
Coats at from SIS to S25" the
reader forms a conclusion right
away as to what the winter cloth
ing will cost. If the merchant
has a price on his goods, why not
advertise it ? Does it not seem
reasonable that people will go to
his store quicker if they know
before they leave home what
their purchase is going to cost?
The mail order house realizes
that and makes a special cam
paign along that line.

turned from a tire, months investi-i

ptces Of the bureau.
Five hundred dollars is considered
q good salary for a teacher. After a
lifetime of service he may go as high
as $500. Living Is cheaper there than
here. however, and In addition to his
salary he Is furnished with a dwelling.
a certain amount of garden land and
wood for fuel. His dwelling is gem

duties in the schoolroom he is often
secretary Of the local creamery asso-
citation, leader Of the village band, or
gan1st In the church, and general In

When a teacher is engaged for q.
position it is for life or a long term of
years. He settles down with the peo-
pie whose children he teaches, and
generally expects to make that par
ticular job his life work. And9he stays.
